Accommodation

This lovely old stone country house has lots of character with period features such as beams, colombages (half-timbering), exposed stonework, fireplaces, tomettes (terracotta tiles) and impressive charpente (woodwork). The house has been renovated to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings, providing the type of comfort suitable for permanent use as well as for holidays. There are many different levels in the house, as well as various unexpected nooks and crannies, all of which add to the interest. The main entrance has a large open fireplace with a sort of 'snug' or study area behind. To the left, through open colombages, is a large, combined sitting room and dining room, also with fireplace. Beyond is a vestibule with a utility room, then, down a corridor, a shower room with WC. A door leads to the games room. The fitted kitchen is also off the vestibule, and leads to a sunny breakfast room. Another corridor leads to a spacious luxury bathroom with WC, and to three large bedrooms. Stairs from the sitting room lead to a landing area suitable for a study or quiet reading area, and to the master bedroom which has an en suite bathroom with WC, beyond which is a dressing room and ironing room. There is yet another fireplace, this one with Toulouse brick. There is access to a balcony, giving some lovely views of the garden and countryside.

Outside

The property is in private parkland of 2 hectares with handsome oak trees, fruit trees and nut trees, and a swimming pool, 10m x 4.5m. Wrought iron gates lead to a gravelled courtyard. There are substantial outbuildings - barns and stables - should you wish to convert them to add to the already generous amount of accommodation. The one immediately adjoining the house, a sort of orangerie style building, has already been made into a large party cum games room, suitable as a grand summer salon. The other buildings form a U shape around part of the garden.
