This contemporary home provides a true sense of place and immediate relaxation. Its clever design allows the natural light to beam through the property, projecting stunning views from every vantage point throughout the day and long into the evening.
GROUND FLOOR: The ground floor of the property is home to a welcoming entrance area, a large, family bathroom and 3 of the 5 bedrooms. The first bedroom at the front of the house features two twin beds and a double wardrobe as well as an abundance of under bed storage. Towards the back of the house, you will find 2 double bedrooms, one in a botanical yet modern style with a king size bed, double wardrobe, chest of drawers and ensuite bathroom. The other, with a feature metal framed king size bed, double wardrobe and dressing table. Both bedrooms lead out onto the large outdoor deck and have lake views which catch the morning sun.
FIRST FLOOR: On the first floor, the open plan lounge and kitchen/dining area is the hub of the house thanks to the vaulted ceiling and triple height windows which frame the picturesque views. A large L-shaped sofa, two contemporary rocking chairs and a wood burner allow for comfortable and stylish living, alongside a smart TV, iPhone compatible speaker and super-fast broadband. The open-plan kitchen, breakfast bar and dining area are fully equipped for 10 guests, with finishing touches such as a popcorn maker and fondue set making it the perfect entertainment space for families and/or friends. Additionally, there is the 4th bedroom which, with its charming bee hive décor, has bunk beds and an array of games and books for any little ones. On this floor, you will also find an outdoor dining area on the front facing balcony with giant bean bags to lounge on, as well as a rear facing balcony with a two-seater coffee area and a swinging egg chair, perfect for a sunrise coffee.
It is from this balcony that a spiral staircase will lead you to the decking below. This spacious terrace is the real highlight of the property as it is right on the water (with a safety glass surround), and is the perfect sun trap from which to watch the resident wildlife. The deck has dining space for 10, a parasol, two sun-loungers and an L-shaped rattan sofa.
SECOND FLOOR: Finally, at the top of the house, you will find the stunning master suite in a neutral Scandi style, comprising of a king size bed, separate dressing area with dressing table and double wardrobe as well as an ensuite shower room and cosy reading nook.
