Watermark, in the Cotswolds, is not age-exclusive but in all respects the facilities the development offers make it the perfect place for a growing number of active retirees looking for a second home without having to fly abroad.

Situated in the 40 sq mile lake area of the Cotswold Water Park, this beautifully created collection of New England-style holiday homes offers a great choice of leisure activities and watersports.

Residents have free access to a gym and spa as well as membership of two golf clubs at Wrag Barn and South Cerney Golf Course.
The lakes were created from disused gravel pits which were flooded and now attract a growing number of water fowl and other wildlife. Boating, canoeing and fishing are all permitted.

On the market at Watermark is The Super Grand Hampton. An Impressive 5 bedroom detached New-England style lakeside vacation property with outstanding views across the lake. and features open-plan living spaces leading to a massive lakeside deck. As is standard in the development, the kitchens are fitted with granite worktops and the houses have oak flooring throughout, as well as underfloor heating.
