Outbuildings

The large barn (220 sq m approx.) is a fantastic space for storage and has previously received (now lapsed but could be re-visited) planning permission for conversion into a additional 3 bed gite if required.

Grounds

The house is set in a large plot with attractive garden, many trees and shrubs and an impressive drive setting the property back from the quiet road.

The heated swimming pool, 12 x 6m, is nicely located just at the rear of the house overlooking the garden.

This is a stunning and versatile property, in a beautiful location, being both an amazing home and fantastic business opportunity with the very real potential of becoming one of the leading 'venues' in the surrounding area - a great opportunity for the right buyer.
