Now this is tasty - a 4-bedroom seventeenth-century Maison de Maître, with a separate apartment for guests (or letting), mature private gardens of a third of an acre, a large barn and a swimming pool. This elegant, detached property has been beautifully renovated and lies in the heart of a very pretty village with schools and shops.
The main house has two reception rooms - a sitting room (20m2) and dining room (18m2). There is a well-fitted kitchen (16m2) with a fireplace just the right size for a range cooker and a large study (16m2). There are four very good sized double bedrooms (22m2, 20m2, 20m2, 20m2) three of which have en suite bathrooms and then there is a further family bathroom. The top floor is currently used as a large office/den but could easily be converted to provide further accommodation.
The spacious, separate ground-floor apartment provides a sitting/dining room (20m2), a large double bedroom (25m2), kitchen (16m2) and shower room. It enjoys its own private terrace and gardens.
The attractive grounds include a terrace, swimming pool, garage and a substantial 100m2 barn, brimming (if barns can brim) with possibilities.
