We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Occupying one of Clearwater's most sought-after waterfront positions, Dawn Chorus, 99 Clearwater is a beautifully presented four-bedroom detached holiday home overlooking Somerford Lagoon, the largest recreational lake within the exclusive Lower Mill Estate.
Set within a secure, gated 550-acre private nature reserve in the heart of the Cotswold Water Park, owners enjoy access to 24-hour security, the award-winning on-site spa, tennis courts, children's play areas and miles of scenic lakeside walks.
One of the largest detached homes on Somerford Lagoon, Dawn Chorus has been thoughtfully designed to make the very best of its exceptional setting.
The distinctive angled design is complemented by a generous ground floor sun deck that wraps around both the front (east-facing) and side (south-facing) of the property, allowing it to enjoy sunshine throughout the day whilst taking full advantage of the beautiful lake views.
Just a few steps from the water's edge, with direct access for launching non-motorised watercraft and fishing, the property offers a combination of privacy, outstanding waterfront living and easy access to the estate's superb facilities.
THE PROPERTY: Accessed via a private footpath from the property's designated parking space, Dawn Chorus is entered through a covered porch into a bright entrance hall, complete with attractive oak flooring.
From here, two separate doorways lead into the impressive open-plan living space, one opening into the kitchen and the other into the sitting area.
Whichever route you take, your attention is immediately drawn to the breathtaking outlook across Somerford Lagoon, one of the Lower Mill Estate's largest and most popular lakes, abundant with wildlife throughout the year.
Also leading from the hallway is a useful ground floor cloakroom, fitted with a WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail. The main living space is undoubtedly the heart of the home.
Thanks to the property's distinctive angled design and extensive glazing, natural light floods in from multiple aspects, whilst the carefully considered layout ensures the spectacular lake views remain the focal point from almost every position within the room.
The contemporary kitchen is both stylish and practical, offering an excellent range of gloss white cabinets, contrasting speckled splashbacks and stone worktops, together with a central island providing additional preparation and entertaining space.
Integrated appliances include a full-height fridge freezer, double oven, washer dryer and five-ring gas hob.
Beyond the kitchen sits the dining area, positioned within the striking angled section of the property and framed by two full-height sliding doors, opening directly onto the south-facing section of the sun deck to create a seamless connection between inside and out.
The sitting area comfortably accommodates two distinct seating spaces.
One is centred around the inset gas fireplace, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere during the cooler months, whilst the second is perfectly positioned to make the most of the uninterrupted views across Somerford Lagoon, providing a wonderful place to relax and watch the ever-changing scenery whatever the season.
Wrapping around both the front and side of the property, the generous sun deck is one of Dawn Chorus' standout features.
Offering 180-degree views across the lake, it provides ample space for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply unwinding in the sunshine.
Glass balustrades maximise the outlook whilst providing safety for children and pets, and a gated access leads directly onto the communal lakeside gardens, reserved for residents of this row, with immediate access to the water for fishing, paddleboarding, kayaking and other non-motorised water sports.
Stairs rise to a spacious first-floor landing providing access to all four bedrooms and the family bathroom. The Master bedroom is another exceptional feature of the home.
Generous in size and benefitting once again from the property's distinctive angled design, it enjoys a private covered balcony with spectacular elevated views across Somerford Lagoon - the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or unwind with an evening drink.
The bedroom also benefits from fitted wardrobes and a modern en-suite shower room comprising a shower, WC, wash hand basin and heated towel rail, whilst still offering ample space for additional furniture or a reading corner.
Bedroom two is another generous double, positioned to the front of the property, and also benefits from its own en-suite shower room.
Bedroom three is currently arranged as a twin room but can accommodate a double bed if preferred.
Like the principal bedroom, it enjoys access to a private, covered balcony overlooking the lake, providing yet another wonderful vantage point from which to appreciate the setting.
Bedroom four is another well-proportioned double bedroom, currently arranged as a twin, and overlooks the front of the property.
Completing the first floor is the family bathroom, fitted with a bath with shower over, WC and wash hand basin, together with a side window providing natural light and ventilation.
An exceptional example of a Clearwater detached holiday home, occupying one of the finest positions on Somerford Lagoon.
Beautifully presented throughout and successfully operated as a holiday let, Dawn Chorus is offered on a true turnkey basis, equally suited as a luxurious family retreat or an outstanding investment opportunity.
