Maison de maître in the country

Overview

Classic proportions give this 6 bedroom property a town house feel in the middle of the countryside.

Interior & garden

Super, stylish country house built in 1882 for the local mayor, who was clearly a man of excellent taste and with deep pockets, built to an exacting standard, regardless of cost and using the best possible materials.  The result being a truly exceptional property.

The subject of a huge renovation project over a number of years by its current owners, the house is now presented in immaculate condition, ready to be enjoyed as a luxury family home or the perfect upmarket bed and breakfast.

Retaining a wealth of period features, from the original plaster work to the remarkable fireplace with its bespoke tiled surround with the original owners’ monogram, double doorways, built in cupboards and fabulous oak staircase.

Modern fitted kitchen with integral appliances and gas range cooker, original built-in cupboards and the essential wine cave, they even have a second small kitchen off the dining room.  The attention to detail throughout the whole house is most impressive, even down to the original chandeliers and curtain poles.

Charming bedrooms with balconies and en suite bathrooms all tastefully decorated and of good proportions. The house has oil fired central heating, with a pompe à chaleur heating on the ground floor and working fireplaces.

Fabulous, park-like grounds of 2.5 hectares with established trees and views of Tournon and the surrounding countryside, numerous outbuildings, garages, stables and the most sublime Lily Pond, with a 10 by 5 heated swimming pool with a stone surround, again all presented in pristine condition.
