Property description

House

Ground floor

From the gravelled courtyard a set of glazed doors open into vast open-plan living room (65 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone walls and a large wood-burning stove. To the left is the kitchen (28 sq m - semi-open plan with the living room) with wooden floor, double-height ceiling, a range of modern fitted units and a pair of glazed doors to the garden.

To the left of the kitchen is a WC and a doorway to a sitting room (31 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed stone walls, stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and a part-glazed door to the garden. To one side of the room a flight of stairs lead up to a mezzanine area (12 sq m) which currently serves as a library. To the far side of this sitting room a door opens to a large bedroom (23 sq m) with double-height ceiling, walk-in wardrobe, an ensuite bathroom (bath, wash basin and WC) and two pairs of glazed doors opening onto the garden.

To the right of the open-plan living room a door opens to another sitting room (33 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone walls, stone fireplace with wood-burning stove and a part-glazed door to the side of the house. From here a door leads into a room (9 sq m - with a door opening t the side of the house) which in turn opens to a second kitchen (13 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and a range of fitted units. From this kitchen another doors opens into a second living room (28 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone wall and fireplace.

First floor

There are three staircases to the first floor rooms. From the main living room a stairs rise to a mezzanine area (overlooking the kitchen) which in turn opens into a vast bedroom (42 sq m) with wooden floor and exposed stone walls. This room could easily be divided to create two bedrooms and a bathroom. From this bedroom a door opens to another bedroom (32 sq m) with wooden floor and ensuite shower room. A staircase descends from this room to the second sitting room.

A staircase from the second living room rises to a bedroom (20 sq m with ensuite bathroom). Off this room is another room (9 sq m) - child's bedroom or large dressing room?

Outbuildings

Attached to the house (and accessible from it) is a large barn. In addition to this there is a smaller detached outbuilding and a vaulted wine cellar.

Gardens

From the main living room and the ground floor bedroom, doors open onto a lovely gravelled area, in which is a large covered dining area. From here a few steps rise to the walled pool area with plenty of terracing around the 8m x 4m pool. In addition to this there is a vegetable garden (480 sq m) and a large area mainly left to lawn with a number of trees and shrubs (about 6800 sq m). In total the property sits on 9495 sq m (just under 2.5 acres).

With its extremely flexible layout this property could easily be divided into two houses with very little work involved.
