Property Description

This impressive and substantial country property has been stylishly renovated and is located on the edge of a hamlet amidst glorious open countryside, surrounded by its own fully enclosed grounds. A driveway leads from a quiet lane through electric gates to a large gravelled forecourt, flanked on both sides by a number of very useful outbuildings, including a yoga studio, stables, and a garage. Stepping through the front door, you enter a spectacular open-plan ground floor divided by the original central wooden staircase. On one side of this staircase is a spacious 90m² triple-aspect living/dining area with an insert wood burner and sliding doors to a large hanger, perfect for outdoor entertaining. On the other side is the superb 37m² fitted kitchen with a large central island unit. At the rear of the kitchen, a short corridor leads to a large (14m²) bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in Italian-style shower, and double sink unit, plus a separate W.C. Another door leads to a large (25m²) utility/boot room with a door to the courtyard, from which original stone steps lead down to the vaulted wine cellar.

On the first floor, a large central landing with an attractive wooden floor provides access to two very large double bedrooms (one with a dressing room), a shower room with a W.C., and a magnificent 61m² triple-aspect master bedroom suite with twin reversible air conditioning units, fitted wardrobes, and a partitioned en-suite with a roll-top bath, Italian-style shower, basin, and W.C. A further door from the landing opens to stairs leading up to the vast 150m² attic, which is ripe for conversion if you require more than the current 300m² of accommodation (subject to the necessary permissions).

The whole renovation has been carried out to a very high standard with recent plumbing and electrics, and the property enjoys an excellent “C” energy rating as a result of heating via ultra-efficient infrared wall panels, double glazing, a VMC system, and high levels of insulation.

Immediately opposite the main house, the range of very useful outbuildings includes the fully renovated yoga studio, a garage, a hay barn, and stabling for 2-3 horses, as well as a partially enclosed sheltered courtyard that houses the 7.3 x 3.7m above-ground pool. A field gate leads to the large paddock (approximately 6500m²/1.6 acres), which is fully enclosed, making it ideal for grazing horses or other livestock.
