The Details

Welcome to The Lookout, a calm and contemporary lakeside escape in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park. Overlooking the Cotswold Sailing Club from its elevated position on the Waters Edge estate, this beautifully designed lodge brings together understated luxury, beautiful views and everything you need for a laid-back group getaway. Whether you're gathering with friends, escaping with family or just looking for a peaceful spot to recharge, The Lookout makes it easy to slow down and settle in.

Inside, the home features four spacious bedrooms – two with sleek ensuite bathrooms – making it ideal for sharing without compromising on comfort. The upside-down layout is cleverly designed to maximise the stunning lake views, with the main living space on the upper floor. Here you’ll find a bright and airy open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen, opening directly onto a large sundeck – perfect for morning coffees or sunset drinks overlooking the water. The fully-equipped kitchen is perfect for preparing group feasts and the sleek dining table sits next to huge windows offering you the chance to dine with a view.

Thoughtful touches are everywhere, from the smart lighting and integrated speakers to the high-end finishes and curated interiors. Downstairs, two additional terraces offer further space to relax, including a private balcony off the master bedroom and a bubbling hot tub for indulgent soaks as the sun begins to set over the lake. Then, when the stars come out, sit around the firepit and share stories as you enjoy a delicious drink in peace. And, when it’s time to head out, you’ve got lake access, a kayak and life jackets waiting by the door.

The Lookout is part of a quiet, private collection of 18 homes on Waters Edge lake in South Cerney – a peaceful spot surrounded by nature and well connected to the best of the Cotswolds. You’re just steps from walking trails, swimming spots and morning paddles and a short drive from pretty villages, cosy pubs and the market town of Cirencester. Fancy going further afield? Spend the day exploring iconic spots like Bibury, Bourton-on-the-Water and Sudeley Castle – all of which are within easy reach.
