Property description

House

A door from the courtyard garden opens to a large kitchen (26 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, a wood-burning stove and a range of fitted kitchen units. To the left a door opens to very large reception room (44 sq m) with wooden and tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, a very handsome Charentaise fireplace and two pairs of French doors to the exterior. This room is naturally divided into to sections by an open-tread staircase.

To the rear of the living a doorway leads through to another room (12 sq m - possible second living room or office) with tiled floor, high ceiling, exposed stone walls and a glazed door to an enclosed terrace.

From here a corridor leads off to the right to another room (about 10 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls and a glazed door to the exterior. To one side of this room is a space designed to be a utility room or shower room and next to this a door opens back into the kitchen.

First floor

A staircase from the kitchen rises to a landing, off which are two bedrooms (18 sq m and 14 sq m) both of which have wooden floors and exposed stone walls. Also off the landing is a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC).

The staircase from the living room rises to a landing, off which are two more bedrooms (22 sq m and 11 sq m) both of which have wooden floors and exposed stone walls. Also off the landing is a bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC).

Exterior

To the front of the house is the south-facing courtyard garden - mainly laid to gravel. To the far side, facing the house, is a range of outbuildings providing useful storage, parking and workshop space as well as offering potential for further development (subject to any relevant planning permissions).

To the side of the house is an open-sided barn, large enough to take a camper van or caravan. To the side of the house there is an enclosed terrace - formerly an outbuilding but now a private open-air space.
