The entrance hall provides access to three well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from an en-suite shower room, along with a stylish family bathroom and a useful boiler cupboard.

Two of the bedrooms enjoy direct access onto a generous sun deck via floor to ceiling glass, sliding doors, providing a fantastic outdoor space at this level. The deck also features a spiral staircase leading up to the first floor, seamlessly connecting the sleeping accommodation with the main living areas above.

FIRST FLOOR Designed with reverse living to make the most ofthe stunning views across Howells Mere Lake, this floor forms the heart of the home. The impressive apex ceiling creates a striking double-height living space, flooding the property with natural light and framing beautiful lake views.

The open-plan layout comfortably accommodates both living and dining areas overlooking the water, while the kitchen is cleverly positioned around the corner, again benefiting from extensive glazing and excellent natural light, this time to the front of the property.

There are two sun decks on this level, to the front and rear, offering a choice of outdoor spaces throughout the day. The rear deck also provides access via the spiral staircase back down to the ground floor

SECOND FLOOR The top floor is largely occupied by an elegant guest/master bedroom, offering a peaceful retreat within the home. A charming mezzanine viewing area enhances the sense of space and provides yet another vantage point from which to enjoy the beautiful lake views. The bedroom is further complemented by an en-suite shower room, completing this impressive upper level.

THE LOWER MILL ESTATE: The property benefits from full access to the facilities at the exclusive Lower Mill Estate, including the on-site private spa with outdoor and indoor heated swimming pools, sauna, steam room, gym, and natural plunge pool. A further heated swimming pool, set in a more traditional country-house style, is also available for residents and guests.

The estate additionally offers tennis courts, children’s play areas, and a network of nature trails, along with numerous freshwater lakes ideal for fishing, wild swimming, wildlife watching, and non-motorised water sports. Lower Mill Estate is a well-established and highly regarded destination for holidaymakers, known for its outstanding natural setting and exceptional on-site amenities
