Waters Edge has been our home for the past 34 years. What first drew us here was its incredible location, right beside the lake, along with the huge potential. Over the years, we extended the property and trebled its size, creating a home that has truly been designed around the way we live, relax and spend time together. Since living here, we have transformed almost every part of the property. We added a swimming pool, completely landscaped the gardens and created a wonderful outdoor living and kitchen area. One of the things we have always loved most is how light the house feels. The design is full of character. From the quirky hexagonal lounge and master bedroom, which are always a talking point, to the gallery hallway, there is a real sense of individuality throughout. It's perfect for open-plan family living and entertaining, while still offering quieter, tucked-away spaces.
We have particularly loved the convenience of having two kitchens, which has been invaluable when hosting. There is a wonderful flow between indoors and out, and every part of the house has been carefully considered, with plenty of storage and practical touches to make family life easier. Perhaps surprisingly, one of our favourite rooms in the house is the hallway. It is such a large, welcoming space and has truly become the hub of our home. With the wood burner going, we have spent so much time there together as a family. It connects all of the rooms and creates such a sociable atmosphere. The garden is also one of the things I will miss most. Looking out over the lake, with the garden wrapping around the house, we are lucky enough to enjoy both beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The house and garden are filled with sunshine throughout the day, and there is something very special about hearing the geese on the lake. We have hosted countless celebrations here, including our daughter's 30th birthday, complete with live music and food vans. The house and grounds lend themselves so beautifully to entertaining. More importantly, though, this has been a real family home. It has always been somewhere our children's friends have always felt welcome which we have loved to witness over the years. The community here is also something very special. The pavilion is a wonderful asset, the Greyhouse is fantastic and has everything you could need on your doorstep and the annual regatta is such a brilliant event. Being beside the lake brings so many opportunities for beautiful walks. What I think I will miss most is the sunshine. There is always a feeling of light and warmth in this home, and that is something that has meant so much to us. It has been the backdrop to 34 wonderful years of family life and we can only hope its next family will love it and make it their own just as much as we have. Village Information
