We adore how this home overlooks the lake in the glittering light of daybreak, surrounded by woodland, providing a refreshing sight from the moment your day begins, with a homely but opulent, earthy tone throughout the living area. Whip up a hearty dinner to enjoy on the glass dining table after a day of getting acquainted with your surroundings. We adore the floor to ceiling windows that let the natural light beam throughout, while the trendy furnishings keep the home looking sophisticated, ticking all the boxes. A day trip to Cirencester, which is only a nine-minute drive away, is not to be missed. Stroll up to Cecily Hill, known for its lush hedgerows and the Barracks, located at the top of the hill. Return down and have a quiet Sunday brunch at Jacks or simply a cup of coffee. When evening arrives, watch all things singing and dancing at The Barn Theatre in Cirencester. Head out early to avoid the crowds in Bourton-on-the-Water, known as the "Venice of the Cotswolds". Grab a coffee and croissant at the Bakery on the Water before crossing the bridges over the River Windrush and getting lost in The Dragonfly Maze.
