Summary:
Set within its own quiet corner of the estate, Pond Lodge looks out across a private pond with a pontoon stretching gently over the water. Slow days can come easily here, from long lunches in the garden to evening dips, relaxing into your hot tub after. Underfloor heating, a log burner and calm lake views make it a place to unwind, with time to enjoy being together, with your dog too.
The Space:
Pond Lodge is a light, Scandinavian-designed lakeside home with two bedrooms, the principal bedroom with a king-size bed and a second that can be set up as twin beds or a super-king. Full-height windows look across the water, and the open-plan living space has underfloor heating and a log burner for calm, cosy evenings. You’ll find a Smart TV with Netflix, Bluetooth speaker, Starlink WiFi, and a fully equipped kitchen with a Nespresso machine. Designed for families, couples or friends looking for space and stillness.
