Newfound Reach, Coln Waters, Lechlade, Gloucestershire, GL7

A modern home in a picturesque and private woodland setting within the exclusive and private Lakes by Yoo Estate.

ABOUT THIS HOUSE
Tucked away at the top of a private estate and framed by 1.93 acres of lawned gardens, yew hedging and mature woodland, this striking home feels every inch the secluded sanctuary. Accessed via a gated driveway, the house sits just a short stroll from one of the estate’s most beautiful lakes—its surface often still as glass, a quiet companion through the seasons.

From the outside, the black timber and stone façade hints at the barn’s architectural heritage, but step inside and the atmosphere changes—light pours in, volumes open up, and the balance between rural charm and refined modern living is immediately felt.

At the centre of the home lies an expansive, open-plan kitchen, dining and sitting room—purpose-built for slow mornings, busy family life and lively weekends alike. The space invites you to gather, connect and unwind, whether it’s just the two of you or a house full of friends. A separate snug offers a quieter retreat for reading, film nights or fireside conversation, while upstairs a large TV and games room delivers laid-back family fun without compromise.

The interior layout flows beautifully, with a sense of purpose and flexibility that makes this home as practical as it is uplifting.

Outside, the grounds are well-tended and wonderfully private. Sweeping lawns stretch out towards the surrounding trees, offering dappled shade, birdsong and space for both adventure and repose.

No detail has been overlooked: the state-of-the-art Bulthaup kitchen comes fitted with premium Gaggenau appliances; Sonos sound and Cat6 cabling run throughout; and Gigabit fibre broadband means working from home—or streaming the latest film—is effortless.

A rare offering that combines rural peace with cutting-edge comfort, this is a home made for modern life—immersive, elegant and entirely its own.
