GROUND FLOOR: Accessed across a private footbridge over a small waterway, the home is set back and nestled between the trees and the village's mature - and well-established - flora. An undercover porch affords the perfect spot to unravel and leave wellies on the doorstep before stepping foot inside. Upon entering the property, a welcoming hallway and cloakroom greets its occupants with an open, light, and airy touch. Swinging open the internal glazed double doors and into the main hub of the lodge, the open plan ground floor living space provides the first opportunity to view the most spectacular views of Somerford Lagoon - the largest and most stunning freshwater lake on Lower Mill Estate. With armchairs and large sofas, guests can sit back, relax and gaze across the uninterrupted - all except for resident wildlife - views spanning across to the nature reserve and beyond. Huge bifold doors connect the comfort of indoors to outside living, to the expansive ground floor decking and private garden. Creating one large and unique entertainment space between inside and out, the gardens hedgerow and borders provide privacy and seclusion. The built-in contemporary gas fire - just stunning when lit - provides the centre piece to the living space. A large Smart TV and bookcase, with books, completes this area. Binoculars are provided to allow a spot of birdwatching across the large and expansive lake in front of you. With dining space for eight, further bifold doors can open up to connect the two spaces again. The beautiful horseshoe rattan outdoor sofa is perfect for lounging. A modern and contemporary kitchen that is well equipped and appointed complete the ground floor.

FIRST FLOOR: The first floor has three of the lodge's four bedrooms. A double bedroom at the top of the staircase has a double wardrobe and views across the front of the property and the impressive Somerford Nines. The family bathroom - with shower - is at the end of the landing and serves both the double bedroom and king-size bedroom next door. This large room has double wardrobes and access to a balcony through the double panoramic glazed doors, which provides its occupants some of the best views on the Estate - the uninterrupted Somerford Lagoon. This large balcony serves both this and the final bedroom on the first floor, a further king-size bedroom. A beautifully contemporary designed walk-in shower room compliments the room, and the large balcony - again via panoramic glazed doors - has a bistro set for those early morning coffees and croissants. The stunning views may be absorbed directly from bed - it is time to slow down and take life a little slower...

SECOND FLOOR: Finally, at the top of the house you find the master suite - comprising a super-king bed, wardrobes, and a private shower ensuite. With windows spanning the full length of the entire second floor, the light pours in yet the clever design of this home allows its occupants the privacy and vista that won't be beaten. The patio doors directly from the room lead onto the second-floor decking and offers further outdoor seating under the canopy of the balcony. A secure and gated spiral staircase to the left wraps and hugs the full height of the of the lodge’s exterior wall, so guests can walk freely between the ground floor and the second floor, without traipsing through the house.

Properties within the Somerford Nines have direct access to the lagoon via a connected footbridge that lead to the shores of lake. An ideal spot from which to launch your kayaks and paddleboards!
