4 Bedroom House in Lechlade
Set on the tranquil waters of a private lake in the heart of the Cotswolds, The Glass House is a striking 6,000-square-foot floating retreat that blends award-winning design with natural beauty. Created by Mecanoo, the house features floor-to-ceiling glass, uninterrupted lake views from every principal room, and a seamless indoor-outdoor flow designed to maximise light, privacy, and calm.
Hidden within a lush green sanctuary yet located in the exclusive Lakes by Yoo development in Lechlade-on-Thames, the property offers peaceful seclusion alongside easy access to Cotswold villages, fine dining, and countryside experiences.
The house is arranged around open, light-filled living spaces with expansive lake views, creating an effortless sense of connection to the surrounding water and landscape. A large dining area and beautifully appointed kitchen form the heart of the home, ideal for entertaining or relaxed family gatherings. The property offers four luxurious bedrooms and six bathrooms, all designed with comfort, privacy, and refined finishes in mind.
Wellness and entertainment are central to the experience, with a private Harvia sauna, spacious jacuzzi, spa-style bathrooms with rainfall showers and premium Rituals and Lafco New York toiletries, and a nine-seat private cinema. A full-size snooker table, bar and themed entertainment spaces create a private, sociable atmosphere.
The Varenna kitchen, equipped with professional-grade Gaggenau appliances and marble worktops, is ideal for hosting memorable meals. Families are thoughtfully catered for with a cot, high chair, children's books and toys, board games, safety features, and access to shared playgrounds, forest adventures, and a heated indoor swimming pool within the estate.
Smart home automation, Daikin climate control, underfloor heating, feature fireplaces, and a Sonos sound system ensure year-round comfort. Outside, private gardens lead directly to the lakeside, where swans, still waters, and changing skies create an unforgettable natural backdrop.
Guests at The Glass House enjoy access to an exceptional range of on-site amenities designed for a truly elevated stay. Within the secure, 24-hour gated development you'll find a restaurant, beautiful recreational lakes for fishing, paddle boarding and swimming, and an experienced Guest Services Team offering a menu of chargeable concierge-style services tailored to discerning staycationers. Adventure and wellness are both well catered for, with zip-lining, horse riding and padel available on site (guests are welcome to play padel at £40 per hour), alongside a full-service spa featuring a stunning heated indoor pool, jacuzzi, steam room and sauna, plus an extensive menu of beauty and massage treatments—including a state-of-the-art cryotherapy chamber (all spa services are chargeable).
Back at the house, guests benefit from year-round comfort thanks to a full air-conditioning and MVHR system, while natural wood-burning fires create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
