Wakeling Island 10 is a stunning new property at Silverlake and an ideal place for a relaxing break away in the Dorset countryside. The five bedroom lakeside perfectly combines modern architecture with nature and it’s most notable feature is a living eco-roof, which complements the surrounding landscape and also provides habitats for invertebrates. The accommodation provides spacious open-plan living on the ground level complete with a log fire; and five bedrooms and four bathrooms across other levels means there’s plenty of space for all the family.

Most notably the group has recorded their 145th bird species, a short-eared owl, in November, and there have also been sightings of a long-tailed duck in November and early December, which is very rare to find inland as it’s a duck.
