Le Mirage

Step into your holiday oasis tucked amongst the reeds in the heart of Lower Mill’s water garden. This RIBA award-winning property with ground source heating was designed by architect Andy Ramus and forms part of a small cluster of ten eco-friendly homes surrounding a beautiful water garden teaming with wildlife.

Le Mirage showcases a beautiful and functional open-plan living space downstairs that opens onto a wrap-around terrace complete with lounges, a fire pit, and a BBQ. Also on the ground floor, you will find a utility room, toilet, and twin bedroom. The first floor boasts additional bedrooms and bathrooms leading to an expansive rooftop terrace with views over the water garden and across toward Spinney Lake.

Ground Floor: From the moment you enter Le Mirage, you will feel instantly welcomed. The owners have provided all the little touches to make this property feel like a true home away from home. Timber laminate floors feature downstairs for easy living with brochures on entry providing ideas abound should you find time to venture outside the estate. A light-filled twin bedroom is positioned downstairs along with a well-equipped utility room with a washing machine, storage space, and adjoining toilet. The kitchen features an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and boiling hot water tap handy for a cosy hot cup of tea in front of the wood burner in the evening. A large dining table for ten connects the kitchen to the lounge and features a wall-mounted smart TV. The table and chairs seat 10, there are also 3 island bar stools. The open-plan living area is perfect for families, gathering after an adventurous day on the lakes, or exploring our 450-acre nature reserve.

There is also a good collection of books and board games to keep everyone entertained on a rainy day.
