Elegant 5 bed manoir with turret..

This impressive manoir with turret is probably the best renovation project I've seen. Attention to detail and quality of materials and workmanship are a delight to the eye. The outbuildings offer many options for further development into gites and or stabling ( with the right permissions). It is in a lovely location, set on a quiet country lane, not far from the town of Corlay in a small hamlet with a few neighbours. Corlay is a pretty place with a boulangerie, bar, banks, restaurants, supermarket and a lake.

The property is approached by ornate wrought iron gates which invite you into the courtyard. The oak front door leads you into the kitchen / dining room (30m2) which boasts a large granite stone fireplace, travertine floors, beams and granite keystones around the doors. It is beautifully fitted out with bespoke oak cupboards and granite worktops. To the side of this room is a summer kitchen with gas/ electric cooking range and plumbing for utilities, again no expense spared on the fittings. Double doors lead into a cosy sitting room with wood burning stove, beams and feature stones. The travertine floor continues throughout the whole of the ground level and benefits from electric under floor heating.To the rear of the kitchen is a w.c. and then there is the original turret which swirls up, linking the first and second floors.

On the first floor the original oak floor has been refurbished throughout, from a delightful landing area there are doors off to:-

three bedrooms (20m2, 20m2 and 8m2) the two larger ones benefit from travertine tiled ensuites (one to be completed) exposed beams, fitted wardrobes and double glazed oak windows.

On the second floor; bedroom 4 (20m2) with impressive exposed 'A' frame beams and built in wardrobe, a bathroom with travertine wall tiles and a Jacuzzi bath and travertine walk in shower. Bedroom 5 (20m2) is to be finished and mirrors the other room with exposed A frames and velux windows to the front and rear.

Outside, at the front of the house is the sunny south facing courtyard with the afore mentioned out buildings and large open barn which houses an original bread oven. To the rear of the property are the lawned gardens with an orchard and many mature trees and shrubs.

This property further benefits a good roof, double glazing, under floor electric heating on the ground floor, broadband and a beautiful finish throughout. The septic tank will need upgrading and this is reflected in the price.
