Lake Cottage is a charming retreat situated in the heart of Swindon, Wiltshire.

Boasting 14th-century beams, a warm woodburning stove, and a vast garden with a barbecue, this family-friendly haven offers ample private parking, making it an ideal escape for families or groups of friends seeking a historical getaway.

Step inside this impressive property and you’re welcomed into the main sitting room, a generous space where two sofas, an armchair, and a woodburning stove set the scene for memorable evenings.

Whether gathering to watch a favourite show on the TV or enjoying quiet moments with a good book, it’s a room that invites everyone to come together.

A second sitting room, equally well-furnished with two sofas and an armchair, offers even more space to spread out, making this home especially well-suited to larger groups and families.

Beyond the sitting rooms lies the spacious kitchen/diner, fully equipped for preparing feasts to share.

A large dining table with seating for eight takes centre stage, framed by original beams that highlight the character of the building.

Across three floors, five beautifully presented bedrooms provide restful retreats.

Exposed beams continue the charm into these private spaces.

The top floor holds a twin bedroom, primarily for younger guests to make their own little fort.

A sleek bathroom with a freestanding bath, basin, and WC completes the accommodation, offering the chance for a long, indulgent soak after busy days exploring.
