Sweetheart House United Kingdom

This three-storey home allows guests to live in lakeside luxury incorporating flawless design, floor to ceiling windows and stunning views.  Perched on the water’s edge you and your guests can head straight off the lake from your private jetty and into the hot tub to warm up and relax with a well-deserved glass of fizz amongst the bubbles!  Pad through the decking and outdoor seating area through the property width sliding doors and settle down in front of the wood burning stove in the welcoming living area.  With retro furniture and Ercol chairs the ground floor offers the perfect space for large groups to relax and socialise, with a large dining table, seating 12 adults, for big evening meals.  A thoughtfully designed kitchen has everything you need from the dishwasher to the champagne flutes including a breakfast bar ideal for a morning coffee and catch-up.
Up to the first floor is the master bedroom with en-suite and spectacular balcony overlooking the lake accessed by large sliding doors that allow you to enjoy the morning air from the comfort of your king size bed.  Also on this floor is a twin room with en-suite and a great bunk room with additional truckle bed, the perfect nook for the kids to host a sleepover.  On the top floor you will find a further two king bedrooms with en-suite bathroom.  We particular love the rear bedroom’s en-suite with freestanding bath complete with skylight, a private spot to unwind if the hot tub is too lively!
The Silverlake countryside estate’s coastal location is all about life on the water and Sweetheart House provides every opportunity to enjoy the surrounding natural beauty.  There is something for everyone at the Silverlake activity hub from tennis courts to paddle boarding, whilst those looking to relax and unwind can head for a restorative swim and sauna at the shared pool and spa.  Surrounded by the Dorset heathlands, where in the summer wild ponies roam, the house is within reaching distance of the stunning Jurassic Coastline and its glorious beaches, the perfect spot to enjoy all the county has to offer.The Silverlake country estate offers luxury accommodation in the peace and calm of the freshwater lakes and sweeping countryside views that surround it.  Rest, revive and recharge at the Hurricane Spa by reclining in the heated infinity pool after enjoying a massage or facial in one of the treatment rooms.  Take in the surrounding beauty of the idyllic lakeside views from the spa’s own private beach or blow off steam in state-of the art gym.  
The property’s proximity to the neighbouring lakes means it will be hard to entice yourself away from the water, with kayaks, paddleboards and fishing aplenty.  For those who prefer to stay on dry land why not zip wire over the water instead?  Or grab a bike and take the family off for beautiful bike ride on the wider estate stopping off for a picnic in a tranquil spot whilst nature spotting the local birds and wildlife.The beautiful county of Dorset is a popular tourist spot, an area known for its rolling dales, protected heathlands and breath-taking UNESCO-heritage Jurassic coastline. The property is within reaching distance of fabulous beaches, including the beautiful shingle Ringsted Bay, which at low tide reveals a wide expanse of sand.  It is the perfect beach for quiet and calm surrounded by neighbouring farmlands.   For those who like to get out and explore the stunning countryside, we recommend a visit to Moreton Forest with a range of tree-filled walks amongst the towering conifers.   A trip to the Smuggler’s Inn, a historic 13th Century pub with unbeatable sea views of the Isle of Portland is an absolute must with an excellent selection of ales to sample and delicious food, the perfect spot for a pitstop after a lovely scenic stroll.
If you’re looking to take in the area’s fascinating history then you won’t be disappointed with the thousand-year-old Corfe Castle, a majestic ruin established by William the Conqueror, just a short drive away.   Fans of Thomas Hardy can visit Dorchester’s Dorset Museum which houses the largest Hardy Collection in the world, bequeathed by his wife Florence.  Just thirty minutes away, is the picturesque town of Poole, here you can hop on a ferry and visit neighbouring islands or soak up the sunrays on the near-by golden beaches at Sandbanks and Bournemouth.  A visit to the colourful Lighthouse Arts Centre offers art exhibitions, theatre and film then why not finish off the day with some locally caught fish and chips on the beach.
Other close-by towns which are well worth a visit include the charming county town of Weymouth with its recognisable Georgian seafront and the lively market towns of Bridport and Lyme Regis. The famous Durdle Door, a natural limestone arch, is just a twenty-minute car journey away and is a must-visit while in the area.At Excellence Luxury Villas, we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
