Overview
A unique country property, first time on the market in 30 years!
Interior and Garden
Substantial, stone maison de maître with second stone house, situated at the end of its own private drive, set in four hectares of gardens and woodland with no close neighbours.
The main house, which has been tastefully decorated and updated by its current owners, has new wooden double-glazed windows and doors, as well as retaining numerous period features with exposed stone and beamed ceilings, wooden panelling in the hallway and terracotta flooring throughout the ground floor. Log burning stoves in the sitting and dining rooms provide heating for the seasons when it’s not cold enough to use the gas central heating. There are also large, vaulted cellars for wine and log storage.
Second stone house in excellent structural order with double glazing, now requiring total internal renovation to create gîte or ideal extra family accommodation.
Charming gardens with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside, with ancient woodlands, home to deer, wild boar and other wildlife and also wild cepe. An 11 x 6m swimming pool with terracotta terracing, and small stone outbuilding and well, all set in a charming private location with no near neighbours, a ten-minute drive to towns and villages with all amenities.
