Description

23 Newfound Reach occupies a jaw-dropping position within the award-winning Lakes by Yoo development, situated at the heart of the Cotswolds. The property has a truly outstanding setting with no other houses in view and completely uninterrupted views to the rear over the water; it feels very private and secluded. The house was built in 2022 and was purchased by the vendor during construction, therefore it has been fitted to an exacting specification with extra attention to detail paid to the finish. As with the exterior, the internal décor is extremely modern featuring whitewashed walls complemented by feature lighting, marble-effect floors, Mirorstone work surfaces in the kitchen and striking, complementary cabinetry. Large glass doors to the rear frame the beautiful views and provide excellent natural light to the living spaces and the three bedrooms at the back of the house. The house benefits from zoned underfloor heating and there is air conditioning in the principal bedroom.

The substantial residence offers about 3800 sq ft of space over two floors, comprising an inviting entrance hall with lift and cloakroom, a cinema room and an impressive open plan living space which includes a seating area, dining area and kitchen. The latter has an adjoining utility room, walk-in pantry and boiler room all providing additional storage. Upstairs is accessed either via lift or the attractive staircase, and has a principal bedroom with dressing room and en suite bath/shower room, four further en suite bedrooms and a lovely terrace to the rear for a spectacular view over the lake beyond.

Outside
The house is situated on Newfound Lake in a quiet, private position that still allows easy access to the estate's popular amenities, including a café, The Lakes Bar & Kitchen, and a spa and wellness centre with first-class gym with Peloton and Technogym equipment. The house is approached via a private path lined with newly planted trees, with lawn all around the front and two gravel parking spaces. To the rear, an elevated terrace is raised over the water with steps providing direct access to the lake with no other properties in view. The views are truly exceptional and mature greenery to either side of the home creates a high degree of privacy.
