Lower Mill Estate is a collection of private picturesque villages committed to ecological best practice, with wonderful facilities, an award-winning family spa and over 550 acres of pure Cotswold countryside. The estate is a place where families can safely live in a vibrant community. This unique 21^st century country retreat offers an idyllic rural vacation lifestyle, yet with a level of style and luxury never seen before in such a deep rural setting.

Those looking to buy at Lower Mill Estate are involved from an early stage in a bespoke design process. From the remarkable lakeside Landmark Homes to the secure, convenient, lock-up-and-go Somerford Reserve apartments, each and every property on the estate has been expertly designed to harmonize people, ecology and award-winning architecture.
