A charming two-bedroom, two en-suite Cotswold holiday cottage, tucked away in a peaceful corner of the exclusive Lower Mill Estate, with a private south-facing garden, perfect for enjoying the sunshine throughout the day. Just a short stroll from the heated outdoor pool, tennis courts, Somerford Lagoon for paddleboarding, kayaking and other non-motorised watersports, plus the many lakes, scenic walks, children's play areas and everything else Lower Mill Estate has to offer.

The bright living space and both en-suite bedrooms enjoy excellent natural light, while the gorgeous inglenook fireplace creates a warm, cosy atmosphere during the cooler months. Set at the end of a gravel path, with parking nearby, a managed stream alongside the garden and a pond opposite, this delightful cottage offers a quintessential Cotswold lifestyle, whilst also providing the opportunity to generate holiday letting income when not in personal use.

Accessed via a charming gravel pathway, with designated parking just a short walk away, the property is entered through a traditional Cotswold green front door into a welcoming entrance hall. Natural light pours in through the glazed double doors leading to the private garden, creating a bright and inviting first impression. To the left is a convenient cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin, whilst the staircase rises to the first floor.

To the rear of the property is the open-plan living, kitchen and dining area, centred around an attractive inglenook fireplace and enjoying lovely views over the private garden – a relatively rare feature within this style of cottage. The living area comfortably accommodates both seating and dining furniture, whilst a useful understairs cupboard provides additional storage. Hardwood flooring runs throughout the ground floor, complementing the property's character and cottage feel.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed to maximise both storage and workspace, featuring an electric hob, dishwasher, washing machine, full-height fridge freezer, generous worktop space and an excellent range of wall and base units, together with a side-facing window providing additional natural light.

Glazed double doors open directly onto the south-facing private garden, a wonderful space to relax, entertain or simply enjoy the abundance of birds and wildlife. Although private, the garden is maintained by the estate, with regular lawn cutting and upkeep of the surrounding planting, allowing owners to enjoy the space without the maintenance. A side gate provides access back to the front of the property.

Upstairs are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefitting from en-suite bathrooms. The principal bedroom overlooks the garden towards Somerford Lagoon and enjoys additional side windows, creating a wonderfully bright room. The en-suite comprises a shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin.

The second bedroom, currently arranged as a twin, could equally accommodate a double bed if preferred. It also enjoys views over the garden towards Somerford Lagoon and is served by an en-suite comprising a bath with shower over, WC, wash hand basin and towel rail.

Presented in good condition throughout, the property benefits from electric heating, designated parking and full access to Lower Mill Estate's outstanding facilities, including the heated outdoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room, tennis courts, children's play areas and over 550 acres of beautiful lakes, nature reserves and scenic walking trails.

At an asking price of just £270,000, with the owners willing to offer the property 'turn-key' with all items of fixtures, fittings & furniture, this represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a charming cottage within one of the Cotswolds' most sought-after private estates, whether as a lifestyle retreat, holiday home or investment.
