Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to a spacious entrance hall (18 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and a limestone Charentaise fireplace. To the left a door opens to the sitting room (40 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and a limestone fireplace with a prettily carved over-mantle. To the right of the entrance hall a door opens to the kitchen (35 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, limestone fireplace and a modern, fitted kitchen.

To the rear of the entrance hall a doorway leads through to another reception room (38 sq m) with tiled floor and a door to the rear garden. To each side of this room are ensuite bedrooms (15 sq m and 13 sq m) - one with a bathroom and one with a shower room. Also off this reception room is a ground floor WC.

A wooden staircase rises from the second reception room to a first floor mezzanine overlooking the room, with useful space at either end - office space / library / informal TV area etc. A doorway from this mezzanine leads to two further bedrooms (24 sq m and 21 sq m). The smaller of the two has provision for an ensuite bathroom. Also off the mezzanine is access to an unconverted attic space (about 70 sq m), offering development potential.

To the other side of the front courtyard is a large stone barn (about 190 sq m).

The property sits on a plot of 2480 sq m. To the front of the house is lawned area with with trees, shrubs and flower borders, next to which is a generous gravelled area with plenty of parking space and space to turn a car around.
