Logis

Ground floor

The front door opens to a large entrance hall (27m2) with exposed stone wall, ancient and impressive staircase and an original stone floor in "coeur de demoiselle". To the right a pair of doors opens to the dual-aspect sitting room (54m2) with slate tiled floor, exposed stone wall and fireplace.

To the left of the hall a pair of doors opens to a the grand dining room (40m2) with wood-panelled walls, exposed beam ceiling, fireplace and a wonderful stone floor in "coeur de demoiselle" with repeating heart and circle motifs.

From the dining room a door opens to a vast kitchen (about 45m2) with slate tiled floor, a very large fireplace and doors to the front and back gardens. Off the kitchen is the utility / boot room (with WC). A flight of steps leads down from the kitchen to a large vaulted cellar.

First floor

The staircase in the entrance hall rises to a large first floor landing. To the left a door opens to a suite of rooms comprising an ante-room (11m2), the "marquis' bedroom" (16m2 with fireplace), another bedroom (11m2) and a room destined to be a "jack and jill" bathroom.

To the right of the landing a door opens to a corridor which provides access to a very large bedroom (30m2) with fireplace. A door at the end of the corridor opens to another large bedroom (32m2) with an ensuite shower room (built into the tower) and a fireplace. From this bedroom a door opens to another large landing (19m2) off which are a bedroom (13m2) and a huge family bathroom (16m2) with free-standing bath, shower, wash-basin, WC and a fireplace.

Stairs from the second landing lead back down to the kitchen and up to the extensive attics.

Attic

Divided into two sections, the attics cover about 180m2.

Part-converted barn

Attached to the logis is a very attractive barn which has been partly converted and is currently used as a successful restaurant. The ground floor comprises a very spacious dining area totalling about 160m2 with exposed stone feature walls, fireplace, exposed stone beams and a polished concrete floor. To one side of the dining area is large cloakroom with disabled access. To the other end is a bar area. From here a door leads through to the kitchens and store rooms.

A flight of stairs leads up to a landing off which is a staff room with WC. From the landing a door opens to a huge unconverted first floor space (about 180m2) - with plenty of head-height and huge potential (subject to any relevant planning permissions).

Exterior

To the front of the logis is an attractive garden which overlooks the lake and which has a lawn, plenty of space for parking and a large terrace next to the lake. Opposite the logis s an impressive stone building (formerly an iron forge producing, amongst other things, canon balls!) There is a mill stream running next to this which used to provide power to the mill. In addition to this there is a further barn, gardens and fields. The whole plot covers about 8.5 hectares including the 3 hectare lake.

This is a very impressive property that offers huge potential - luxury B&B, boutique hotel, wedding venue etc etc.
