Property description

House

Ground floor

The entrance porch opens into a hallway (8.5 sq metres) filled with original 1850’s features, including exposed stone walls, beamed ceilings and a stone sink with feature oeil de boeuf window. There is a cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin located under the stairs. To the left is the sitting room (28 sq metres), running the full depth of the house, with limestone charentaise fireplace and wood burner, potager (ancient stone cooker) and glazed door to the covered terrace.

To the right of the entrance hall is the dining room, once again with beamed ceilings and an attractive triple pane window with seat below. A door leads to the storeroom with central heating boiler (installed 1991). A second door leads through to the kitchen (20 sq metres) with a range of fitted units and appliances, and a useful pantry area to one side, there is room for a table and chairs for informal dining. From the kitchen is access to the side conservatory (11 sq metres), a lovely space to relax and enjoy the pretty courtyard whatever the weather!

First floor

Stairs rising from the hall way lead to a landing / office area (8 sq metres) with ADSL broadband connection, off this first landing area are two bedrooms (14.5 and 9 sq metres). Both doubles, decorated in a French country style and both with views over either the side or front gardens. A second landing area (8 sq metres) gives access to the luxurious bathroom, with generous bath, WC, wash hand basin, cupboard and towel store. The master bedroom (29 sq metres) boasts varnished chestnut flooring, stone fire surround and en-suite shower room (5 sq metres) with double shower cubicle, hand basin and WC.

Second floor

Recently converted from the attic space, this large bedroom (36 sq metres) makes the most of the attractive roof architecture by exposing the beams throughout - don’t forget to duck! With added skylights, spot lights and chestnut flooring, it demonstrates that ancient and modern styles compliment each other well. There is also a dressing room (11 sq metres).

Exterior

A large barn (135 sq metres) currently accommodates, garage, workshop and storage, but could easily be converted to further accommodation, should you wish. The herb garden links the front courtyard to the side garden where the swimming pool, sun deck and covered terrace are located for maximum privacy. These in turn lead to the rear garden and orchard where there is a small rural lane giving vehicular access.
