Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens into the entrance hall (16 sq m) with slate tiled floor. To the right a door opens into the sitting room (32 sq m) with stone fireplace and wood-burning stove. From here a door opens to the library/office (25 sq m) with tiled floor, stone fireplace, traditional Charentaise cupboard and an exposed beam ceiling. To the rear of this room a door opens to a room (7.5 sq m) which opens to the rear courtyard garden. This room is currently used as a boot room.

To the left of the entrance hall a door opens into the dining room (32 sq m) with carved stone fireplace. To the rear of the entrance hall a service hallway (which runs the width of the house) provides access to a ground floor WC and to the kitchen / breakfast room. This room (35 sq m) has a terracotta tiled floor, fitted wooden kitchen units with island, a dining area and exposed beam ceiling. A door from the rear hallway also provides access to the rear courtyard.

First floor

A bespoke wooden staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor landing which provides access to four extremely spacious bedrooms (30 sq m, 30 sq m, 23 sq m and 21 sq m) each with its own ensuite bathrooms. The two smaller bedrooms have exposed stone feature walls and one of the larger rooms has a marble fireplace.

The stairs continue to the second floor. There are currently two bedrooms (32 and 18 sq m) and a shower room with WC. There is also sufficient unconverted attic space to completely replicated the layout f the first floor adding a further two en-suite bedrooms

There are a number of outbuildings arranged around the large courtyard: a bread oven, a small house (60 sq m at ground level), a larger house (115 sq m at ground level), an open-sided barn (110 sq m), a barn (70 sq m) and an old stable (75 sq m). All have been re-roofed.

Garden

The house sits on a plot of 13,143 sq m. To the rear is a large courtyard garden (laid to lawn) of about 2,000 sq m. To the front is an attractive cottage garden with lawn of about 1,000 sq m. Next to this is a field of 9,524 sq m. A large swimming pool (12m x 6m) was installed in 2011.

The house has been completed modernised; re-wired, re-plumbed and re-roofed. There are also two new gas boilers (one for each floor). Broadband is available.
