Spacious and luxurious stone house with pool and tennis court

This renovated stone house offers over 200m� of habitable space, large outbuildings ripe for conversion, a large swimming pool and a tennis court set in prettily landscaped gardens.

A handsome stone arch opens to a gravelled courtyard to the front of the house where the pillar box red front door opens to the marble floored, open plan reception room.

Ground floor

The reception room is split into distinct areas (air-conditioned throughout); a double height entrance hall with feature sweeping spiral staircase. The sitting room (4.9m x 11.2m = 55 sq m) with a sunken TV 'snug' area and limestone fireplace. The dining room (3.9m x 5.2m = 20 sq m) with an open fire, stone fireplace and original feature 'potager'. And the summer room (3.8m x 4.5 = 17 sq m) with a stunning, stone vaulted ceiling, and sliding door to reveal a panoramic view looking out to the landscaped gardens and pool beyond.

A small inner hallway off which there is a cloakroom with WC and washbasin, leads to the kitchen (3.7m x 5m = 18.5 sq m). The kitchen is bright and modern and has a 'wall' of fitted units and appliances and an island unit with hob and sink. The kitchen leads through to a games room/ gym (6.7 x 2.8m = 18.5 sq m) with a Jacuzzi-style hot-tub.

First floor

From here stairs rise to a landing area (17 sq m) completed fitted with cupboards, which in-turn leads to a bedroom suite. The double bedroom (3.8m x 3.9m = 15 sq m) is set into the rafters and has exposed beams and wood panelled walls all painted in fresh, white giving a pleasant sea-side feel to the room. The bedroom has an en-suite with sunken bath and over shower, WC and washbasin.

The main staircase, rising from the entrance hall, leads to a galleried landing, off which two more bedroom suites are located.

The master bedroom (4.3m x 4.1m = 17.5 sq m) continues the nautical decorative theme with an attractive teak flooring also fitted wardrobes and a large en-suite bathroom (14.5 sq m) with sunken spa bath, separate shower, WC and double vanity unit.

The third bedroom (3m x 3.3m = 10 sq m), also a double, has been recently decorated in a calm, light colour palette, its en-suite bathroom offers sunken bath and wash basin, with a separate WC located off the landing.

Outbuildings and Exterior

A door from the summer room leads to a tiled store room off which the wine cellar is located, and also access to the large adjoining barn (132 sq m) which has character stone walls and an attractive arched window out to the garden.

A glass-house / winter-garden (50m�) houses the original still (alembic), and a large open-sided hangar of 75m� offers shaded parking for several cars, and also a shaded area for a games area.

Additionally, there is a covered dining-terrace close to house, with a 'room' ideal for conversion to a full summer kitchen, and also shady BBQ area up by the heated pool. The furniture shown around the pool is available to purchase along with the house. The pool is located beside the fully enclosed tennis court and low maintenance floral borders and gravelled pathways interlink the varied areas of the garden.

A second entrance to the property is served by a long, hedge lined driveway, leading directly to the hangar, for shaded parking.

This property is both spacious and exceptionally well equipped, equally well suited to use as a permanent home of second home thanks to its combination of space and low maintenance requirements. I cannot imagine anyone not enjoying being here.
