Lower Mill Estate in the Cotswolds, was set up to introduce imaginative, modernist architecture into a rural setting, to protect and enhance the natural environment, to engineer a harmony between residents and wildlife, and to protect the local and wider ecology.

The project’s success in achieving these objectives has been acknowledged with two awards in the Daily Telegraph Your New Homes Awards in March, for Best Architectural Innovation and Best Waterside Development.

Richard Reid and his team of architects have set a new agenda for others to follow by designing a series of contemporary houses, in a landscape setting that are both contemporary and highly inspirational.

The man behind the project, Jeremy Paxton is interested in pioneering homes, which excite and inspire with new design ideas, interesting materials, and intelligent environmental thinking.

Judge Cherry Maslen of The Daily Telegraph) said, “Stunning architecture and creative use of interior space, have made the absolute most of the waterside setting; decking right over the water and glass walls positioned for sunset-over-the-lake views, ensure an absolute appreciation of the outstanding natural environment”.

Lower Mill Estate is an exclusive development in the Heart of England, of high quality lakeside second homes stunningly designed, enjoying the most magnificent views over 450 acre country estate.

There is a selection of two, three, four, five and six bedroom homes available with prices from £495,000 to a little over £1m.
