Full Details
HouseGround floorThe original front door is reached via an enclosed courtyard at the front of the house that now houses the swimming pool.The current owners currently use a door from the larger courtyard that opens into the kitchen (20m2), with tiled floor and a range of fitted units. The kitchen is large enough to accommodate a dining table.At the back of the kitchen, a door opens into a corridor leading to a shower room (7m2) with an Italian walk-in shower, twin wash-basins and a WC. Also off the kitchen is a summer kitchen/boiler room (31m2), with a storage area and a French door that opens into the garden at the back of the house.In the corridor off the main kitchen, there is a door that opens into the main entrance hall (9m2) with a beautiful wooden staircase and the front door that opens at the front of the house to the pool and terrace.To the right of the hall, a door opens into the dining room (28m2) with an attractive wooden floor.To the left of the hall is a door that opens into the living room (28m2) with a beautiful fireplace and a large opening that opens back into the kitchen.First floorThe wooden staircase rises from the hall directly to the first floor landing which serves three bedrooms (22m2, 14m2 and 13m2). The largest of the bedrooms has a dressing room and an ensuite bathroom (6m2) with a bath and a WC. From the landing there is also a door that opens onto a staircase that leads to the attic.From the landing a corridor then leads to three further bedrooms (14.5m2, 11m2 and 21.6m2) and a bathroom (7m2).
GîteIndependent of the house, on the other side of the larger courtyard, there is a second house which is arranged as a gîte.The front door opens in the fitted kitchen (18m2), from where a door leads to a bathroom (8m2) with bath and WC. On the other side of the kitchen, an opening leads through to the living room (35m2) with a French door that opens onto a terrace.In the living room a wooden staircase leads upstairs to two bedrooms (16.6mm2 and 14.5m2).The cottage appears in good condition and benefits from double-glazing and electric heating.It is totally independent from the main house and has its own private courtyard that is completely enclosed.
OutbuildingsAround the main courtyard there are several stone buildings, a very pretty a covered terrace and a barn that is used as a garage. On the other side of the courtyard there is a former stable with an open area that also allows parking for cars. Another part of this building is used as a playroom and workshop. The outbuildings appear in good condition and offer a lot of potential.
ExteriorThe house is on a plot of about 2440m2. To the side of the house the main courtyard is mainly gravelled and has a number of trees, shrubs and flower beds. To the front of the house there is a smaller walled courtyard which houses the pool and its terracing.On the other side of the lane there is a pretty garden (about 2040m2) with many trees. This land did have planning permission, but this has now lapsed and would need to be reapplied for.
