Property description

House

Ground floor

Entering into the former beating heart of this once industrious mill, it is a pleasure to see much of the mill mechanism restored, and on show in this spacious entrance hall, currently also used as a dining room (44.5 sq m). To the far side there is an anteroom (13 sq m) used by the present owners as a TV 'snug' area. To the left of the entrance hall is the sitting room (36 sq metres) with its handsome stone fireplace with wood burning stove, beamed ceilings and wide arch through to the farmhouse style dining - kitchen (37 sq m). The kitchen is comprised of a range of fitted units, including an island unit, space for free standing appliances, a wood burner and glazed doors to the rear garden. A door from the kitchen diner leads to an inner hallway, which leads back round to former mill room. Also off this inner hallway is access to the laundry room and pantry (each 10.5 sq m) and the pantry in turn leads to a boiler room.

First floor

Stairs lead from the mill room to a 1st floor landing from which all the remaining accommodation is accessed, as well as a sizeable, and as yet undeveloped area.

The master bedroom (22 sq m) looks out to the front of the property and across to the swimming pool, continuing many of the original features seen on the ground floor, the master bedroom boasts beamed ceilings, solid wood flooring and a stone fireplace. An adjoining dressing room and bathroom (15 sq m) complete the master suite.

A second en-suite bedroom (20.5 sq m) is located to the rear of the house, and is equally well appointed with its private shower room with WC (3.5 sq m).

Three further bedrooms (18, 14.5 and 12 sq m) share the recently refurbished family bathroom with separate WC.

On this floor there is also an unconverted attic area of 45 sq m with vaulted roofline, which would make a great en suite bedroom or studio.

Second and third Floors

The original mill part of the building is in fact 4 storeys high, and across both the 2nd and 3rd floors there is a total of 140 sq m available to be developed.

Outbuildings and Gardens

Directly across the lane from the house is an outbuilding of 105 sq m, which offer garaging, workshop and pump house for the pool. Behind here is a well-equipped summer kitchen and covered terrace facing on to the swimming pool (10m x 5m). The total area of land being sold with the house is over 7000 sq m, this land is made up of several different gardens, closer to the house are the more formal areas whilst further out more pastoral land including two well stocked fruit orchards. Much of the land is crisscrossed by the former millstream, which tends to have water flowing only in the winter to spring months.

The property is located in small hamlet of just two dwellings, with the village of Boisse and it's handful of shops, being and easy 1.5km away. The larger town of Surgères is around 5 minutes drive, whilst the nearest beaches are about 45 minutes away.
