detaljer
This beautiful detached, traditional stone farmhouse is set in an idyllic tranquil location. The property offers complete privacy, but is within walking distance of the local village which offers all amenities.
Most of the house was renovated to a high standard in 2010, preserving the original character. The renovations include:
> large new kitchen/dining room, with island breakfast bar, large range cooker, woodburner and doors to large outside deck
> utility room and downstairs WC
> sitting room
> upstairs bathroom and WC
> 4 bedrooms
The remaining rooms (a very large downstairs room and a large 5th bedroom and 2nd bathroom on the first floor) require finishing. The total habitable surface of the house is 163 m²; finishing the work would add a further 120 m² of living space.
The property also offers the following:
> electric heating in renovated rooms
> double-glazed windows
> new 5000L septic tank installed 2011 (sand filtration system which meets European standards)
> good broadband internet connection
> cellar beneath main house and detached barn
> mezzanine area in fifth bedroom (to be renovated)
The house is set in 1.8 hectares of land and has a detached barn. The barn of 61 m² is currently used for storage. There is a small lockable room attached to the side of the barn, with visible remains of an old bread oven, in which garden tools and the mower are stored
Within the extensive grounds, there is a maintained lawn area immediately around the house. Flowerbeds run along the edge of a paved patio and a gravel border for pots, runs alongside a spacious deck.
Large established hedges separate different sections of the land. Part of the land is divided into 2 fields and these are usually used by a local farmer for cows and producing hay in the summer. Currently, however, they are being used as horse pasture.
Also within the grounds there is:
> a large sandpit
> swings for children
> a well
> small orchard
The views from the back of the house are beautiful. They extend all the way down the garden and beyond to more fields. In spring the fields become meadows full of wild flowers and butterflies and there is a wonderful array of wildlife within them, including deer, hares, birds and buzzards.
The property itself also offers great business potential. The grounds would be perfect for a campsite; the barn could be converted into gîte or stabling for livery
