The Lakehouse is a welcoming 3 bed, 2 bath + downstairs WC semi-detached New England style house situated on the shores of the peaceful and tranquil Windrush Lake. It features 1 king, 1 double and two singles plus a cot, the cot integrated into the master bedroom. Featuring contemporary styling, the property directly overlooks the lake which is a haven for nature lovers. Surrounded by a number of well-stocked fishing lakes (permit provided) it benefits from gardens to the front, side and rear providing additional recreational areas to enjoy including picnic areas and a small beach area. The house is tastefully furnished for your comfort and enjoyment featuring a 50" Smart TV with streaming service, remote controlled living flame fire, free wifi and fresh coffee making facilities. The kitchen is well-equipped including a washer/dryer, dishwasher, 2 ovens, hob, microwave and fridge/freezer. Ironing facilities are provided and hairdryers are available in both double rooms. A dedicated work space, child gates and cot are available on request. The patio provides outdoor seating, a charcoal BBQ and umbrella. Non-motorised sports can be enjoyed free of charge and kayaks and safety vests are included. On site facilities include 3 all-weather tennis courts (one floodlit), table tennis pavilion, boules area, croquet, games room, football goals and children's playground - all on a complimentary basis. You will find a range of reading material for all age ranges and also puzzles and games and some sports equipment, including for children. 1 small dog is permitted on request and it is lodge policy that they remain downstairs.
As a relative newcomer to the area I found it to be uniquely placed in terms of its combination of beautiful surroundings, tranquillity and wildlife coupled with its wider potential for fun, activity and adventure ensuring its relevance and appeal for all age groups. As a keen reader The Lakehouse offers a serene aspect to enjoy quiet pursuits should you so desire or, alternatively join the cut and thrust of lively pursuits such as windsurfing, sailing, water-skiing and outdoor swimming in the immediate locality if the mood serves.
The property is nestled within the Cotswolds Water Park so there is much to do both in the immediate area and beyond. Hiking, outdoor swimming, sailing and paddleboarding are in immediate range. There are pubs, restaurants, cafes, takeaways and sports facilities only metres from the site. South Cerney village is close by (1.7 miles) offering further opportunities for socialising and dining whilst Cirencester town, the capital of the Cotswolds (4 miles) offers cultural and historic interest as a Roman town, theatres, a range of cafes, restaurants and bars and many shops both independent and mainstream. For the serious shopper, Swindon's designer outlet is 12 miles away. Should you wish to explore there are numerous quaint Cotswolds villages in close proximity such as Stow-on-the-Wold and Bibury, Tetbury (home to King Charles III and Queen Camilla) is 14 miles away, whilst Bath and Blenheim Palace at approximately 35 miles away are commutable in the day.
