Description
A classic maison de maitre with understated elegance and mellow outbuildings, with pigeonnier tower, forming a sheltered courtyard and enchanting atmosphere. The gardens include an unusually fine collection of cedar trees.
Set back from a quiet country lane in a peaceful, elevated position, the main building has a pleasing symmetry from every aspect. The property has been sympathetically restored (new electrics, boiler, plumbing drainage) while retaining a wealth of original features; timber floors, period windows, marble fireplaces and cast iron radiators. With high ceilings and all main rooms double aspect, the accommodation is particularly light and airy, with intriguing views over a patchwork of wooded countryside. The gardens and grounds have immense charm with magnificent stands of cedar and oak trees and an ancient tree-lined avenue to the rear.
A unique feature of the property is the atmospheric courtyard with pigeonnier tower extending from the rear. Two guest cottages have proved popular for friends and for holiday letting. Further barn space remains for development. In an area of historic villages, the property is ideal as a family home or holiday base that can sleep 16 people in comfort.
