Stroll into the open-plan living space for instant cosiness courtesy of a charming wood burner, large sofa and undulating views of the lake beyond. As the day winds down, step into the light and airy kitchen to rustle up dinner before taking a seat at the banquet-style table that invites you to dine in elegance next to a striking feature wall. Swathed in prints and sumptuously soft furnishings, the first floor is just as considered as downstairs with artwork, mirrors and contemporary lamps being just a few of the design elements that complete its four bedrooms with immaculate detail. Voyage up to the second floor and you'll find space for friends and family in the comfort of beautiful surroundings. Strewn with skylights and on-trend touches including wall panels and colour block bedrooms, this floor makes for the most stylish of slumbers.

Once you've soaked up the undeniable elegance of this home, step outside onto the terrace for sweeping views of the wetlands brought to life by the species that inhabit it (think ducks, swans and coots!), before sneaking up to the first floor balcony for even more magical scenes of the natural surroundings while you clink a glass of prosecco, play a game of cards or wind down with a spot of yoga.
