Positioned on the edge of a private freshwater lake within The Lakes by Yoo, this striking contemporary house unfolds across more than 6,100 sq ft of carefully composed living space, surrounded by woodland, water and far-reaching Cotswolds scenery. Set within 1.6 acres on the exclusive Newfound Reach enclave, the house combines expansive entertaining spaces with a strong connection to the landscape, where floor-to-ceiling glazing frames uninterrupted lake views from almost every principal room.



The architecture has been designed around light, scale and openness.

Exceptionally proportioned, it features a large dressing area, expansive en suite bathroom and panoramic lake views through full-height glazing. Five further bedrooms are arranged separately across the floor, several with en suite bathrooms and direct views across the gardens and surrounding woodland. A study overlooks the dramatic void above the main living space, reinforcing the sense of volume and openness throughout the house.
