GROW YOUR FAMILY, AND YOUR PORTFOLIO, IN THE COTSWOLDS AT LOWER MILL ESTATE

Situated just 90 minutes by car from London, buyers at Lower Mill Estate can select their own plot of land, a house design that suits their needs, and then complete the package with bespoke interiors. Buyers who then choose to rent out their home can expect possible rental yields of up to 5% net based on a four bed property at 70% occupancy.

With planning permission for good land increasingly difficult to find in the Cotswolds, never has there been a better time to purchase at Lower Mill Estate. Award-winning property designs unique to the Estate include the Sun House, featuring a pitched roof, gable ends and an almost entirely glass frontage, which is priced from £595,000.

Founded in 1999 by the Paxton family, Lower Mill Estate is surrounded by acres of unspoilt nature reserve, eight lakes and two rivers. It is a showcase of some of the finest, pioneering and sustainable architecture – with each property designed to harmonise people, ecology and architecture.

An array of outdoor activities including tennis, kayaking, paddle-boarding, fishing, cycling and wildlife walks can be enjoyed throughout the year within the Estate and owners can also unwind and recharge at the Lower Mill Estate Spa. Home to both heated indoor and outdoor pools plus the UK’s first eco-pool, other facilities include a sauna, steam room and treatment rooms offering a diverse range of therapies designed to relax and rejuvenate body and mind, using soothing, harmonious and natural Pevonia Botanica ingredients.

Ruby Paxton, Owner of Lower Mill Estate, says: “We provide a real alternative for those wanting to invest in future generations, as well as build their own portfolio. Good rental yields are possible, alongside having a wonderful location to stay 11 months of the year. One of our biggest selling points is that it is so secure here. As a gated community, we have in-built security meaning kids can wander freely around on their own. We also provide superb maintenance, meaning owners can benefit from knowing someone will check on their house regularly when not in residence. As a family run Estate, legacy for future generations is in our ethos.”

Other recent developments to have launched within the Estate include The Water Garden – a unique retreat of just 10 properties linked via a connecting body of water, and Lakeshore Reserve – an exclusive collection of just nine plots ranging from 1,700^m2 up to 8,600^m2  on which a masterpiece home can be designed and built within splendid isolation. Just five of the Water Garden properties remain and are priced from £525,000. Lakeshore Reserve plots are available from £550,000.
