Property Description
Formerly a convent, this impressive and sympathetically restored property is set in the heart of a beautiful village with shops and restaurants and sits in a third of an acre of gardens with a large swimming pool. The house has 5 bedroom, 3 bathrooms and 3 reception rooms and a massive 355m² of habitable space.
This village house, originally a convent, has been carefully restored, retaining many of its original features. Set in the heart of a village with a good selection of shops, this property really is a gem. Presently used as one large property but with 2 staircases, the house would readily lend itself to separation into a comfortable family home with a 2 bedroom guest or letting property.
Access to the property is via an impressive front door leading to a large hallway running the length of the property with a matching door leading to a separate courtyard garden at the rear. With original terracotta tiles and grand chandeliers, this is a most impressive entrance.
To the left is the large kitchen/dining room with lots of natural light and French windows leading to a terrace. There is a central wood-burning stove which separates the kitchen from the living area which still has its very stylish, original herringbone oak parquet flooring and deep skirting boards.
On the opposite side of the hallway is a grand sitting room with the original wooden floors, fireplace and large cupboards. A couple of steps lead up to a large games room with tiled floor and separate access. This games room has been divided to provide a small storage room but could easily be reinstated to its original size, incorporating a fireplace. There is also a utility room with WC and plumbing for a washing machine. The cellar can be accessed from a door under the stairs.
The sweeping staircase leads to a spacious first floor landing with all the original floorboards. This gives access to 5 spacious bedrooms with many original features, 2 bathrooms and a shower room. There are two hot water tanks which would make it very easy to divide the property. With full oil-fired central heating supplemented by a number of wood-burning stoves, this is a real family home.
Outside, there are two lovely terraces - one covered to provide shade and the other with shade created by the house. The swimming pool has roman steps and is a good size. The barn currently provides 2 parking spaces and the rest is an earth floor. The oil-fired boiler and storage tank are situated in the barn.
