Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (9 sq m) with tiled floor and exposed beam ceiling. To the right of the hall a door opens to a corridor that provides access to the most recently occupied part of the building. To the right of the corridor a door opens to a large room (24 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling and an intricately carved stone fireplace. This room was originally accessible directly from the entrance hall. To the end of the corridor a door opens to a room (25 sq m - used as a kitchen) which in turn opens into a small conservatory. To the left of the corridor is a bathroom with WC.

To the left of the entrance hall a door opens to a room (29 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and a large Charentaise stone fireplace with carved mantle and over-mantle. To the left of this room a door opens to another large room (34 sq m) with exposed beam ceiling. To the left of this room a door opens to a further room (25 sq m).

To the rear of these three rooms are two further rooms. The first, a bedroom (25 sq m) has a wooden floor, marble fireplace and exposed beam ceiling. The second, the sitting room (26 sq m) has a wooden floor, part-panelled walls, a marble fireplace and a superb moulded plaster ceiling - this is an extremely elegant room.

Attic

There is a large attic running the entire length of the building. There are some low beams but it may be possible to convert some of this space to habitable accommodation.

Outbuildings

Attached to the house are a number of outbuildings which could be incorporated into the house if desired. Opposite the house is a large outbuilding comprising a barn, an open-sided barn and the bake house with bread oven.

Garden

The house sits in its plot of just over three-quarters of an acre with garden on all sides. The garden is mostly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees.

The roofs to the house and barn were overhauled in 2000. This is a large property with great potential for a wonderful family home or a bed and breakfast business.
