Please don’t be deceived by the main photo: this is a seriously large property which boasts no less than five living rooms and a darkroom! It has been beautifully renovated and there are three extra rooms upstairs which could be converted to form additional bedrooms if you really wanted more accommodation. Even the approach – up a private driveway – has a wow factor to it.
Entrance is into a large, tiled conservatory which the owners often use to breakfast in. The modern, fitted kitchen is open-plan with the dining room and there is a handy utility room for the white goods. The downstairs double bedroom has its own bathroom (with separate shower) and dressing room. Two of the living rooms have flagstone floors, one has the original tiles and a fourth is carpeted. Upstairs, a second double bedroom has its own en-suite and dressing room. A third double bedroom adjoins a darkroom, which could become a bathroom. There is a large double-height living room on this floor, in addition to three unused rooms and a mezzanine. There is a huge wine cellar.
The gardens are mostly walled and the land leads downhill towards the river. Outbuildings include a former pigeon house, a disused cottage, an enormous garage, a workshop and a semi-detached barn.
Nearby Couhé (a large village in UK terms) has a range of bars, restaurants, supermarkets, builders’ merchants, public swimming baths, riverside walks and a pavement café culture in the summer. © |
