Not only the setting, a house of superlatives. Suprisingly spacious accommodation sympathetically converted managing the mix of retained character and modern comfort. I always fancied a house with a sweeping drive round a courtyard flanked by stone outbuildings – here it is.
Enter the property via a tree-lined drive, through wrought iron gates. The covered terrace allows entrance directly into the large light filled living room, with fireplace and wood-burning stove; or via the back door and boot room. There is a fitted “back kitchen” (utility room); downstairs shower-room and toilet; fully fitted and equipped kitchen; intimate dining room with sweeping oak staircase; and upstairs four double bedrooms, central landing and office, plus spacious bathroom with bath and shower. Throughout the house the standard of fitments and décor is high. All you need to do is move in your furniture.
There are two large barns, both with good roofs (one new) and in excellent condition. It would be possible to convert part of one simply to create further accommodation if desired. In addition there is also a ruined cottage. The land surrounds and extends behind the house and barns, including the garden and orchard; creating an ideal property set within an attractive plot. At one time the land was used as a camping/caravan site.
Surrounded by the countryside yet within a few minutes drive of the pretty riverside town of L’Isle Jourdain with a range of shops, bars, restaurants, banks etc. you have the best of both worlds.
