Description
House, pool, outbuildings, barn, land. The quintessential, French, stone country house, dating from the 1850s set in 2.8 hectares of charming gardens. Situated at the end of a quiet lane with no close neighbours in the most idyllic setting with fabulous views over the surrounding countryside. Purchased by the current owners almost twenty years ago and having been a much-loved family home. I think to say it's been a labour of love does not really do it justice, having been restored with great taste and style and regardless of cost, with the most spectacular results. Comprising main house with stone staircase and a wealth of period features, hallway with log burning stove, stylish country kitchen with handmade oak units, built in appliances, walk-in larder, granite worktops, Falcon gas range cooker and exposed stone work. Open-plan sitting and dining room with cathedral ceilings, oak flooring, log burning stove and sliding doors onto a beautiful covered terrace. Upstairs, the master bedroom with ensuite bathroom and air conditioning, dressing area and home office with the most incredible beamed ceiling. Three further bedrooms, (two on the ground floor) all with their own bathrooms. The property is beautifully presented, in pristine condition, with the essential wine cave for entertaining with a vaulted ceiling retaining a consistent temperature, with a utility room, workshop and boiler room. The property is double glazed throughout with pompe ? chaleur and oil heating and even the septic tank conforms! Set in immaculate gardens, a large, open cart barn with garaging, store rooms, toilet and summer kitchen with covered terrace and stone worktops - the perfect spot for entertaining by the swimming pool. Hot tub covered with an iron pergola, and a charming, oak beamed pavilion for ap?ros and making the most of the fabulous views. A further substantial stone barn, with huge potential, or somewhere to keep your classic car collection, all set in the most beautiful gardens with established trees and an open field planted with conifers, and numerous outdoor relaxing and entertains areas.
