A beautifully presented four-bedroom semi-detached holiday home arranged over three floors, enjoying stunning views across Clearwater Lake. Ideally positioned just moments from the popular Ballihoo restaurant, exclusive on-site spa and tennis courts, the property offers an enviable lakeside lifestyle alongside excellent investment potential.

Currently operating as a successful holiday let, the property can be acquired as a fully furnished turnkey business. It also benefits from a highly sought-after private boat store, worth approximately £35,000, designated parking directly outside, and is presented in excellent condition throughout. Combining a prime location, superb amenities and proven rental performance, this is an outstanding lakeside home within the Cotswold Lakes.

ACCOMODATION: 

Accessed via a short pathway from its designated parking space, an oak front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall. A useful recessed area provides space for coats, boots and outdoor clothing, whilst a side window allows natural light to flood the hallway. Oak flooring runs throughout the ground floor, with the exception of the bathrooms, and the property benefits from gas-fired central heating throughout.

The first bedroom is located immediately to the right of the entrance hall and is currently arranged as a twin room, although it could equally accommodate a double bed. This room enjoys a front-facing aspect and benefits from built-in wardrobes. Further along the hallway are two useful storage cupboards, one beneath the stairs and another housing the boiler and hot water cylinder, with additional space for linen and household items.

The family shower room has been recently updated and comprises a large walk-in shower, WC, wash hand basin, heated towel rail and a frosted side window providing natural ventilation. Opposite, the Master Bedroom enjoys built-in wardrobes, a modern en-suite bathroom and direct access to the ground floor sun deck. Both the bedroom and en-suite enjoy lovely views across Clearwater Lake and the surrounding nature reserve. The en-suite comprises a bath with shower over, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

Completing the ground floor is a further double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and direct access onto the sun deck. Recently replaced, the deck is in excellent condition and provides a wonderful space to relax, entertain and enjoy the lake views.

Ascending to the first floor, the property opens into a superb open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area. Flooded with natural light, the sitting room is centred around a charming log burner set within an alcove, creating a cosy focal point during the winter months. The entire rear elevation is glazed, with two sets of sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling windows framing superb views across Clearwater Lake. The sliding doors open onto an elevated sun deck, allowing you to make the most of the exceptional lakeside setting.

Positioned to the front of the property, the kitchen is both practical and well-equipped, featuring a five-ring gas hob, double Neff ovens, dishwasher, large sink and an excellent range of storage cupboards. A large window enhances the feeling of space and light throughout this impressive living area, whilst oak flooring continues throughout this level. A useful cloakroom/utility room completes the accommodation on the first floor.

The top floor provides a versatile fourth bedroom, currently arranged with a double bed and two single beds, making it ideal for larger families or visiting guests. A glass balustrade enhances the sense of space and light whilst maintaining views over the living area below.

Beautifully presented throughout and already operating as a successful holiday let, this exceptional lakeside home offers a genuine turnkey opportunity, whether as a private retreat, investment property, or a combination of both.
