Summary

This large modern house has been built in a traditional style and offers many possibilities - large family home, two homes or hotel.

Property description

Set on the edge of a small village, this modern house has been built in the style of the traditional local architecture. The property is, in fact, currently laid out as two houses that mirror each other, but it could equally be used as a very large family home or as a hotel.

The front door opens into a large (25 sq m) tiled entrance hall that runs the depth of the house. This hallway provides access to both halves of the property - each side is identical so for brevity's sake, the description relates to just one half.

There is about 500 sq m (over 5,300 square feet) of habitable accommodation comprising two large living areas and 8 bedrooms each with its own bath or shower room.

HOUSE 1 (LEFT HAND SIDE)

Ground Floor

To the left the door opens into a very large open plan living space with tiled floor and six wooden double glazed windows. There is a spacious sitting / dining area (58 sq m) with a traditional stone fireplace. The fitted kitchen area (28 sq m) includes a range of fitted cupboards as well as double sink, microwave, oven, hob, extractor hood, fridge/freezer and dishwasher. To the side of the kitchen is an office space together with a separate laundry room (with sink, washing machine and dryer) and separate WC. A staircase descends from the office space to a room which would make a good TV orgames room.

First floor

Two staircases rise from the living room. One rises to a half landing with acces to the vast triple-aspect master suite with bedroom (38 sq m) with stone fireplace, separate wc and tiled bathroom. The stairs then continues to a landing with large large bedroom (26 sq m) with its own tiled shower room and wc.

The second staircase rises to a landing with a separate cloakroom/wc. Off the landing are two very spacious bedrooms (26 sq m and 28 sq m) both with their own tiled shower rooms.

Outside

To each side of the house is an extended wing (the first floor of which houses the master bedrooms). The ground floor of each wing could be used as summer rooms, games rooms or even additional accommodation. One of these wings also houses the oil-fired central heating boiler.

Grounds

The house sits on a plot of 12,190 sq m (3 acres). Extending from each wing are large covered terraces and to one side of the house is the swimming pool (15m x 7m). The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a number of trees.

This house is only about 5 years old and has therefore been built to modern standards - the walls and roof are insulated and the windows are all modern wooden double-glazed units.

This is a very substantial property in a rural setting yet only about 10 minutes' drive from two local towns and about 35km from Royan.
