To the right of the hall a door opens to another large room (31m2 - currently used as an office) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls, exposed beam ceiling, fireplace and an original stone "evier" (sink).

From the sitting room a wide opening leads through to the huge modern extension - a living room (136m2) with sitting, dining and kitchen areas and large patio doors opening onto the terrace and the garden beyond. This room provides a fantastic everyday living space as well as being ideal for entertaining a large number guests. It also benefits from under-floor heating.

To the back of the kitchen area there is a large utility room off which is a wine cellar.

A corridor from the living room leads to an internal hall, off which are a WC and a cinema / mutli-media room (35m2). There is also a doorway back to the the study.

A second door from the mezzanine opens to a landing, off which are three more bedrooms (20m2, 17m2 and 9m2) as well as a family bathroom. A staircase descends from this area down to the sitting room

Exterior

Guest suite and attached outbuildings

A former outbuilding has been transformed into a one bedroom guest apartment (bedroom, shower room and sitting room) - in all about 30m2. Attached to this are a store room and a room which has been converted and is currently used as a games room.

Garden

To the front of the house is a terrace which leads onto the pool area, next to which is the pool house with its own covered terrace. From here the garden is left mainly to lawn with a number of mature trees, hedges and flower borders.
