Langmere Lakes - Style by the water

f341e012-0aaa-44e5-a1a4-2775894716d0
PRIVATE and exclusive and situated on the edge of the Norfolk Broads National Park, Langmere Lakes comprises 21 acres of tranquil countryside nestled amid open farmland and accessed via automated security gates.

The lodges are masterpieces of Scandinavian design each with a large decking overlooking the lakes. Six lodges have been completed so far with a further 14 yet to be built.

Lodges can also be built to your own design and specification, subject to planning permission. They are suitable for buy-to-let or joint ownership schemes. Grebe and Heron Lodges can sleep six whilst the remaining lodges have two double bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The lodges are also available to hire at www.langmerelakes.co.uk and from October 2010 will feature on the Hoseasons website and in their 2011 brochure.


FOR SALE


Six new lodges have just been completed and are available from £135,000 to £165,000.
