Stone, renovated farm house with its own lake

An Utterly Enchanting Stone Farmhouse with Koi, Character, and Country Views – All the Good Stuff if you fancy a lifestyle change

Tucked away in a peaceful hamlet, this 19th-century stone farmhouse is the sort of place that makes you wonder why you didn’t move to the French countryside years ago. Set in beautifully established gardens of just over a hectare (yes, that’s more than enough space for everything you can dream of), the real showstopper here is a jaw-dropping 600m² koi lake – complete with a hefty collection of enormous, pampered fish and two very laid-back turtles and moor hens. It’s basically your own private water feature on steroids.

From the moment you arrive through the gated entrance, it’s clear this home is something special. The farmhouse has been lovingly restored and maintained, with stylish rustic interiors, original features, and a healthy dose of countryside chic.

Highlights include:

• A grand entrance hall with beamed ceilings and tiled floors, setting the tone from the first step.
• A cosy sitting room with underfloor heating, log-burning stove, wooden floors, and exposed beams – the perfect winter hideaway.
• A spectacular dining room with soaring cathedral ceilings, stained glass windows, another log burner (because one is never enough), and a mezzanine for dramatic toasts or quiet retreats.
• A light-filled garden room with electric shutters, air-conditioning, and travertine flooring, opening onto a sprawling travertine sun terrace with jacuzzi, beautifully framed by a pebble stone wall worthy of an interiors magazine spread.

There are two staircases leading to the upstairs bedrooms – all of which are cosy and comfortable, with wooden floorboards, exposed stone, and built-in storage. The views from the upper levels? Nothing short of spectacular.

The kitchen is ready for serious cooking sessions, featuring a Falcon gas range cooker, fitted cabinets, tiled floors, and those ever-charming beamed ceilings.

Outside, a large barn, wooden workshop, and various outbuildings provide endless potential – artist’s studio? Yoga retreat? Koi fan club HQ? You decide.

With electric heating, double glazing, and plenty of peace and quiet, this home offers the best of both worlds – rustic charm with modern comfort, all in an idyllic setting that’s frankly hard to beat.
