Boutique-hotel styling on a front lakeside plot

The Willerby New Holland feels less like a holiday home and more like a boutique hotel suite. Open-plan living, bold blue and graphite tones, warm oak furniture and a stylish Welsh dresser anchor the space. Two large sofas, a freestanding dining table and an American-style fridge freezer make it as easy to host as it is to settle in.

The master bedroom is built around a king-size lift-up storage bed with two large flanking windows and lots of wardrobe space. A walk-in dressing closet and en-suite shower room sit off the master. The second bedroom takes full-size single beds.

A front lakeside decking area is the headline view: a clear blue lake stretching out from your steps.
