1 Lakeshore Reserve, The Lower Mill Esttae

ACCOMMODATION  Accessed via a private gravel path from the two parking spaces with an EV charging point, the architect designed property welcomes you through a wide front door framed by a side window, offering a bright and inviting entrance. With an interior that has graced the pages of style magazines and books the Nordic inspired finish has a quiet calming considered aesthetic completely harmonious with nature and with superb eco credentials at its heart. The ground floor comprises a central hallway leading to two beautifully designed bedrooms, positioned at either end for privacy, and two stylish bathrooms, all finished to a high standard, as well as a separate utility room. 

Upstairs, a spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining area awaits, filled with natural light and enhanced by hardwood flooring and the extensive use of pale wood finishes, giving a cosy, welcoming Scandi feel throughout. A log burner adds character and comfort, making it the perfect year-round retreat.

Additional features include a private boat store, fibre to the premises, a high EPC rating, and full 12-month occupancy, making this not only a stunning second home but also a highly practical and energy-efficient investment.

ENTRANCE HALL: Step through the front door into a covered porch that opens into a bright and welcoming hallway, beautifully finished with hardwood flooring. From here, you’ll find access to a practical utility room, two generously sized bedrooms, and two well-appointed bathrooms. A central staircase leads to the stunning first-floor living space.

MASTER BEDROOM: Both bedrooms are beautifully presented in minimalist but contrasting styles - the Master has a light-toned style, and benefits from a private ensuite, making it the natural master, and features a king-size bed with bespoke wardrobes and serene views across to Swillbrook Lake.

The ensuite is elegantly finished with soft neutral tones, a bath with shower over, under-basin storage, tiled flooring, and a striking black heated towel rail, adding a touch of contemporary contrast.

BEDROOM 2: The second bedroom is generous in size and thoughtfully styled, offering a richer, darker palette that contrasts beautifully with the lighter tones of the Master suite. A floor-to-ceiling window frames views over the communal grounds, while clever positioning of the adjacent boat store ensures privacy without compromising the outlook.

The adjoining bathroom, also serving as a guest shower room, is finished to a high standard with dark tiling and elegant gold accents, creating a refined yet calming atmosphere. Large shower, stone sink, heated towel rail and beautiful ambient lighting.

FIRST FLOOR 

KITCHEN & DINING AREA: As you ascend the staircase, you're welcomed into a bright and inviting open-plan kitchen and dining space, where clean, minimalist design is complemented by warm, natural finishes. The true showpiece is the bespoke kitchen worktop, crafted entirely from waste wood sourced from trees felled in Britain—a striking, one-of-a-kind feature that enhances the character and charm.

The modern kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring an induction hob, integrated oven, fridge freezer, sink with mixer tap, dishwasher and ample storage throughout. The dining area comfortably seats eight, making it ideal for relaxed family meals or entertaining. Step out onto the west-facing sun deck, perfectly positioned for alfresco dining on golden summer evenings.

LIVING AREA: The first floor is exceptionally well-designed, with the centrally positioned staircase subtly defining distinct areas while preserving the open-plan layout. This clever configuration enhances the sense of space, natural light, and ease of entertaining.

The living area is a wonderfully inviting space, framed by large windows that flood the room with light with stunning views over the Swillbrook Lake Nature Reserve and offer access to a private east-facing deck—the perfect spot for morning coffee. At its heart sits a charming log burner, creating a warm, cosy atmosphere ideal for unwinding on cooler evenings.
