Located on a private nature reserve, this home is a Scandinavian dream in the Cotswolds. With a view of the Somerford Lagoon, abundant wildlife, and idyllic nature surrounding the home, it’s the perfect place to unwind. And when you take the on-site amenities into account, you’re really onto a winner. The home is bright, open, and inviting, with floor-to-ceiling patio doors inviting natural light to bounce off the soft woods and mid-century furniture. The doors lead you out to the shining jewel of the home – the outdoors. With so much space, the garden seemingly goes on forever, extending out beyond the lake. It’s a beautiful space to enjoy whether you’re taking leisurely strolls around the water, sipping on your coffee in the crisp morning, taking an afternoon dip in the lake, or cheersing to sunset at dusk. Not only is the home one that you’ll love spending time in, but the resort offers many fantastic amenities. Everything has been thoughtfully designed to provide you with the most comfortable, relaxing experience you could ask for. You can start your day with a session in the gym, before taking a swim in the heated indoor pool. Guests also receive access to the luxury spa - treatments are bookable separately. While there’s ample opportunity to relax and unwind, there’s also plenty of fun to be had here. Channel your inner Serena Williams on the tennis courts, rent kayaks, or try out the other water sports on site. This area of the Cotswolds is particularly lovely to explore by foot or by bike – you can rent bikes here – and there are some picturesque towns to visit, including nearby Cirencester.
