Villa in a stunning riverside setting

Villa in a stunning riverside setting

Originally designed and built as a holiday home for a celebrated Parisian hairdresser, this villa with walled garden is in a fantastic setting with direct river access and fine views.

House

Main level

A flight of stairs rises from the courtyard to the front of the house to the front door, which in turn opens to the entrance hall. To the left a pair of glazed doors opens to a sitting room (4m x 3.4m = 13.5 sq m) with wooden floor, a marble fireplace and views over the park-like square.

To the right of the hall a door opens to a room (3.9m x 3.3m = 13 sq m - currently used as a bedroom) with wooden floor and views over the square. Also off the hall, next to this room, is a bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC).

To the rear of the hall, to the left, a door opens to the kitchen (4.5m x 3m = 13.5 sq m) with tiled floor, a range of fitted kitchen units and a door opening to a balcony with wonderful views over the river and the countryside beyond. To the rear of the kitchen a doorway opens to a utility area.

To the rear of the hall, to the right, a door opens to the dining room (3.5m x 3m = 10 sq m) with wooden floor and a pair of glazed doors to the balcony.

Upper level

A wooden staircase rises from the hall to the upper level landing. Off this there are two bedrooms (both about 11.5 sq m) with wooden floors as well as a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC). Also off the landing is a large room (7.8m x 4.3m = 33.5 sq m) with wooden floor. This room is currently used as an office / sitting room but would equally make a large fifth bedroom.

Lower ground level

To the rear of the entrance hall a flight of stairs leads down to what is, in effect, an independent 1-bedroom apartment. The stairs lead down into a good-size kitchen (4.4m 3.2m = 14 sq m) with tiled floor, a range of kitchen units and a glazed door to a delightful riverside terrace garden. A corridor from the kitchen leads to a room (3.2m x 2.8m = 9 sq m - currently used as a sitting room) with tiled floor and a glazed door to the terrace garden. Also off the corridor are a bedroom (10 sq m) and a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC).

To the rear of the lower level kitchen a door opens to the garage (about 18 sq m) with garage door that opens to the courtyard to the front of the house.

Exterior

The terrace garden to the rear of the house has been beautifully planted with flower borders, shrubs and a pretty magnolia. There are wonderful views both up and down the river as well as across the farmland on the far bank. There is direct access to the river via a flight of steps.

To the side of the house is a very pretty, private walled garden - mainly laid to grass with a number of trees - in which there is a small outbuilding, ideal for storing canoes, garden furniture etc. A gate from the garden opens onto a second terrace, again with wonderful views both up and down the river and with direct river access.

This is a great detached property in a wonderful setting just a few minutes' walk from the centre of this popular little town and all of its amenities.
