Why lakeside homes at Cotswolds Waters are exceptional investment opportunities?
Cotswolds Waters by YOO is an exciting new high-quality Lakeside development set within the glorious Cotswolds landscape. The team behind it discusses why they believe they have created something quite special.
Tell us about luxury lakeside living in the Cotswolds.
Our special site is nestled in the idyllic heart of the Cotswolds, just 90 minutes from London. The Lakes at Cotswolds Waters is a rural luxury estate offering freshwater lakes, meadows, and woodland in the Gloucestershire countryside. Our spaces are created for those seeking a family-friendly community and luxury sanctuary with a unique connection to nature. There are 72 lakeside homes and lakeside apartments in a luxurious, secluded, and secure estate with breathtaking lake views and tranquil spaces.
What does the estate offer those who love the great outdoors?
The core concept is: life at your pace. There are countless ways to take to the water at the lakes. There’s something for everyone: freshwater lakes for swimming, canoeing, kayaking, or paddleboarding, plus cycling, riverside and meadow walks. Combining with our neighbouring estate, The Lakes by YOO, you can enjoy an early morning swim, lunch at The Bar and Kitchen restaurant, an afternoon at the Spa, or an evening barbecue.
Tell us more about the homes.
All our homes combine sustainable design with countryside luxury. Utilising a beautiful blend of materials that feel right at home in the Cotswolds, uniting natural stone with timber shingles and gorgeous feature profiling, each of these stunning homes has been designed specifically for a certain solar orientation type, so each building will always make the most of its positioning from the sun.
Are there any advantages to selecting your own plot and building rather than buying an existing second home?
There are some considerable advantages. Following recent increases and changes, Stamp Duty Land Tax (STLD) is only 5% on one of our plots and there is no STLD or VAT on the new build construction. This, compared to circa 15% STLD on the whole value of an existing second home, makes Cotswolds Waters a very attractive investment.
So, if I chose my very own perfect plot how does the build process work?
With over 30 years’ of premium property and design experience, we are all committed to ensuring that our builds and your individual projects are handled with the right expertise and complete care so we can deliver the lakeside property that meets your exacting standards. Our team includes architects, surveyors, interior designers, project managers, and a dedicated aftersales team. We are all committed to ensuring that our builds and your individual projects are handled with the right expertise, complete care, and total commitment, to ensure we deliver the lakeside property you envision, creating an extraordinary family home and an exceptional financial investment.
How well connected is the Estate to neighbouring villages?

Having the great outdoors right on your doorstep is what makes the Cotswolds Waters the most incredible place to spend time.
