Lakeside Reflections Burford, Oxfordshire

Property Description

Grab a taste of the high life at this lakeside lodge, discreetly tucked away beside the clear water lakes and 650 acres of woodlands of this exclusive Cotswolds retreat.

The brainchild of celebrated designers John Hitchcox and Philippe Starck, world-class design and spectacular views blend seamlessly here. Slide back the sleek sliding doors and pad out onto the expansive deck to spot birds and butterflies over the lake. When it's time to explore this luxurious estate, launch the home's kayaks onto the lake, or check out the onsite spa and indoor swimming pool – it's just the ticket.

When you've worked up an appetite, cooking is a joy in the chef-worthy kitchen, with every gadget going to lay on a glamorous dinner party. But if you fancy a night off cooking, dial in a private chef for an evening of fine dining outside on the terrace and take it all in.

Surrounded by acres of natural landscapes, you could feel a million miles from anywhere here. But when it's time for a slice of good old-fashioned Cotswolds charm, the pretty market town of Lechlade-on-Thames is just a five-minute drive away. Though why you'd ever want to leave this place is anyone's guess.
