Living area
The layout has been switched to make the most of the view, with the fireplace the focal point. ‘I wanted this space to be light and airy in summer but cosy during the winter,’ says Samantha.

HOME NOTES
WHO LIVES THERE
Samantha Thompson, a strategy director (@themodernlakehouse), lives here with her husband Will, a managing director, and their two children, Lexi, 10, and Amelie, seven.
THE PROPERTY
A four-bedroom lakeside lodge built in 2010 in the Cotswolds, and purchased in 2020.
THE LAYOUT
As the couple couldn’t extend beyond the property’s existing footprint, the house has been re-configured to maximise the space. An open-plan kitchen, dining and living area with views across the lake occupies the ground floor, along with an office and cloakroom. Upstairs is home to the family’s four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
