Property description

Located in a pretty countryside setting, this property is just 6km from the market town of Aigre which offers a full range of amenities including schools, shops and restaurants.

House

Ground floor

The property fronts on to the mill stream and countryside beyond where a terrace has been created to make the most of this view, an ideal place for morning coffee. From here the front door opens to a tiled hallway, where a useful pantry has been created, and to the right you enter the dining-kitchen (26 sq m) that runs the full depth if the house. The kitchen is fully fitted with the units used to create an island and a natural divide between food preparation and dining space. (The traditional cooking range shown in the photos is available to purchase by separate negotiation with the owners.) The dining area also benefits from a glazed door leading out to the rear garden.

The sitting room (58 sq m) can be accessed to the left of the entrance hall, or by an interconnecting door at the dining end of the kitchen. The spacious open plan nature of the sitting room allows for separate areas for relaxing, formal dining and also a library and office. The room features wood burning stove, beamed ceiling and exposed stonewalls. A door leads to the conservatory (22 sq m) that runs along the rear of the sitting room, and gives access to both the garden and the annex.

First floor

The stairs rise from the sitting room to a mezzanine and gallery landing (36 sq m) from which all four en-suite bedrooms are accessed. (The property has previously been used as a Bed & Breakfast and is well suited to this purpose.) The master bedroom (10.5 sq m) has views looking out to the front of the property and over the millstream and offer en-suite bathroom with WC (6 sq m) and a separate dressing room or office (6 sq m). Three further bedrooms (1.5, 12.5 and 10 sq m) each enjoy front or rear garden views and en-suite shower rooms each with WC.

There is also an interconnecting door to the self-contained apartment.

Apartment

A ground floor entrance hall offers the apartment a lockable access completely independent from the main house, from here stair ride to the first floor accommodation. The sitting room (27 sq m) is also equipped with an open plan kitchen, and gives access to the two bedrooms (10 and 9 sq m) and the shower room with WC. The apartment has successfully been rented out as a holiday let for some years.

Annexe

On the ground floor (beneath the apartment) an annex has been created, but not yet finished, and comprises: L shaped living space/bedroom (34 sq m) with glazed doors to the garden, kitchen (7 sq m) and a shower room with WC (4.5 sq m). This area can connect to the main house via the conservatory.
There is also an integral garage, which could be converted to provide yet more living accommodation.

Outside

The grounds surround the property on all sides offering many diverse garden areas; there are a collection of outbuildings in the rear garden offering workshops and storage (an area of which requires re-roofing). The 10 x 5 m salt-water swimming pool is located in the rear garden and has an attractive sunken dining terrace bedside it.
