No floor plans are available for this property. ## About The Property With your own jetty at the bottom of the garden, and some of Dorset's best family leisure facilities just a stroll away, Silvermere offers far more than an ordinary holiday by the lake. This impressive contemporary house on Silverlake Estate sleeps up to 12 guests (when using sofa beds), with four bedrooms, generous entertaining spaces and wonderful views across the water. It's a fabulous choice for extended families and friends who want to enjoy time together without the stress of having to organise every minute of the holiday to keep people happy. Inside, the stylish living room opens onto a balcony furnished for outdoor dining. An open fire warms cooler evenings, and a beautifully equipped kitchen features a double oven, wine chiller, Quooker tap, and Nespresso machine. The dining table seats 10, while a second lounge downstairs has games, a Smart TV and a sofa bed, giving younger guests somewhere to retreat. The bedrooms are arranged across three floors, including a ground-floor superking and double bunk room, a first-floor king and a top-floor superking that can be arranged as twins. The upper suite has air conditioning and an en suite wet room. Outside, the wraparound lawn leads towards the lake and private jetty, with covered decking, a gas barbecue and an optional hot tub. The garden is unfenced, so children need supervising near the water. Silverlake's exceptional shared facilities are a major attraction. Spend an afternoon at the Firefly Spa with its heated outdoor pool and sauna, enjoy drinks at the lakeside bar or try the estate's seasonal dining options. There's tennis, a multi-use games area, paddleboarding, kayaking, cycle hire and nature trails, plus opportunities for wild swimming under estate safety rules. Some facilities require booking or additional payment, and activities can be seasonal. For days out, explore Lulworth Cove, Durdle Door, Weymouth and Dorset's Jurassic Coast.
