3-bedroom Terraced for rent at Windrush Lake, South Cerney, Cirencester, GL7

This is truly somewhere very special. "Halcyon" lives up to it's name; a stunning, fully-furnished, New England style lakeside house, located in 41 acres of picturesque natural bliss.

The sumptuously appointed, three-bedroom property is nestled on the edge of glorious Windrush Lake, in the ideal position for both sun and privacy. Almost every room has a breath-taking view, and the feeling of peace and serenity from being right on the water's edge is felt throughout the beautifully light, airy and immaculately furnished home.  

With this home comes a wonderful, luxury lifestyle also. Complimentary gym and golf club membership are included, as are two fishing licences. Enjoy many activities right on your doorstep, including 3 tennis courts, kayaking, wind surfing, paddle boarding, walking and cycling trails, and much more. Wild swimming is available at a neighbouring lake. 

The perfect property if you want to marvel at the morning sunrise across the lake and relax as you watch nature unfold on your own south-facing sun deck. With a non-motorised policy on the lake, you can enjoy your morning coffee or read on the terrace in tranquil, uninterrupted bliss. 

Set on two floors with glorious views across the lake throughout the house, there are three, double bedrooms (one king, two double beds), perfect for up to six people. The master suite features an ensuite shower room and walk-in wardrobe. The huge balcony-style windows invite the outside in, with gorgeous lake views right from your bed. 

In addition to two more beautifully furnished, luxury double bedrooms, there is a fully fitted dressing room, complete with built-in floor to ceiling wardrobes, lots of drawer space for clothes, accessories and jewellery, and a dressing table, perfectly positioned for natural light from the window. Storage will not be an issue, with large, concealed cupboards throughout the 2 floors.  

Downstairs, the bright ground floor with its white, wood panelled walls and low maintenance flooring, features a fully-equipped kitchen and stunning open plan dining/living area, the central feature being a huge, comfy corner sofa looking directly onto the magnificent lake through patio doors the length of the wall. On summer days these are left wide open, bringing the outside in and a beautiful breeze throughout. Halcyon benefits from one of the best views on the lake, and the unique roofline ensures maximum sunlight at the front and back.  

To complete the perfectly appointed inside, there is a stylish downstairs cloakroom and a standalone utility room with plenty more storage space. Literally everything is at your fingertips and the little touches are certainly to be appreciated. 

The beautiful furniture and accessories (included with the rental), and decorating throughout, follow a stunning whitewashed theme which evokes the luxury homes of 'The Hamptons'. However Halcyon is not a 'show home' - all furniture is high quality yet practical enough to have been well-loved by a growing family over the years, and still look sensational. From the beloved ex-convent dining table, to the huge, shabby chic style coffee table, and the comfy family corner sofa with it's fully washable covers, you can relax and enjoy it all with ease of mind.

Outside, there is private decking at the front of the house with quality patio furniture, and, at the back, a larger, 'show-stopping' lakeside decking area overlooking the lake with top-of-the-range gas BBQ. This creates a unique concept of private, sunny, outdoor space for most of the day. Both front and back decks are real sun traps and the positioning of the private front area means that even on winter days it can be possible to sit out and enjoy the sun. 

Extremely well maintained, the house has recently had new windows throughout with excellent insulation, and the electrics, gas central heating and plumbing all come with the necessary certification and assurances, having been recently serviced. The bathrooms have been upgraded with new taps and sink hardware. You will find high quality fixtures and fittings throughout the home. The rental will be professionally managed and you can rest assured any maintenance issues will be handled quickly and efficiently for a stress-free tenancy.

The lake itself and it's small, friendly community has a lovely safe, private and exclusive feel thanks to 24 hour manned security gates with regular patrols. Parking will never be an issue with several spaces right outside the property, and many more closely surrounding for your visitors. The Lake never feels particularly busy, but offers everything you could want in terms of leisure and relaxation.  

Along with couples and families, Halcyon is also ideal for the more discerning corporate resident. Senior colleagues of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire's many international companies can work, meet or simply relax in a safe, private environment. Enjoy the best of both worlds with the beautiful Cotswolds on your doorstep, and easy access to major, road, rail and air travel nearby. A bespoke, fully serviced option is available for an additional cost, details on request.
