PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Large 17th century 'Corps de Ferme' set in pastureland with barns, ideal for equestrian use. Potential for B&B or gites.
A classic Normandy stone farmhouse with outbuildings dating back to the 17th century, but with many 21st century features - double glazed windows, fast internet connection. Rooms with revealed stone walls and original tiles give a medieval feel to them. With over 6 acres including grassland and good outbuildings, equestrian property seekers need look no further.
Approached by a poplar lined driveway, the accommodation provides a really spacious family home and has been sympathetically restored over the last 4 years. Configured in an L-shape, it could easily be divided to form two individual dwellings if required - most of the barns are attached to the main farmhouse.

The kitchen is in traditional farmhouse style with original tiled floor and beamed ceiling. Doors lead to the courtyard and to the garden, there is a fireplace with log-burning stove. Fitted units with tiled surfaces, wine racks and deep butler sink - also stainless steel range with 5 gas hob and electric oven with extractor. The huge formal dining room (nearly 25ft long) leads off the kitchen and features exposed stone walls, tiled floor and french windows to the courtyard. A breakfast room also leads off the kitchen which has a door to the garden, original slate floor and a wonderful rustic stone staircase leading up to the first floor.

The sitting room has the original tiled floor, beamed ceiling and a cosy fireplace with an open woodburning stove. A traditional half-glazed door with decorative ironwork looks out onto the courtyard. A door leads to a study with bookshelves, a marble fireplace, beamed ceiling and original tiled floor.

A garden room, or “boot room” leads to the rear of the property via a stable door, it has an old tiled floor and beamed ceiling. From this, a service corridor with storage for utility items leads to a laundry room, or second kitchen, with fitted units & worktops, a sink and washing machine / tumble drier plumbing. A sliding door gives access to a shower & WC. Stairs lead up from the laundry room to large (120 square metres), full-height, loft spaces which would convert easily to extra accommodation.

The original staircase leads to the first floor from the sitting room, where the spacious landing gives access to 2 bedrooms and a family sized bathroom. Both bedrooms overlook the courtyard and have wooden floors, one has a working, marble fireplace. The bathroom has bath with shower over, basin & WC, and a modern multi-jet shower cubicle.

Stairs lead up to the second floor to a large landing area / playroom / study, with a spacious airing cupboard. Two bedrooms lead off, both are attic style with beams and each has an en-suite shower, basin and WC.

The stone staircase leading from the breakfast room takes you up to a library/study, landing area with beams and exposed stone walls. An archway takes you through to the large master bedroom which has a wood floor and beamed, open, insulated ceiling. There is an en-suite shower room with multi-jet shower, basin & WC. There is also an en-suite bathroom with free-standing roll-top bath, WC and table mounted basin.

There are 10 barns of varying sizes surrounding the courtyard, 8 are lockable and 2 are open. Three of these would suit for use as loose boxes.

The paddocks are cut and fertilised annually, the bordering hedges are cut and maintained twice yearly. The garden areas are mainly shrubs with a quarter acre of lavender in rows (about 900 plants), also a small orchard of 11 fruit trees comprising apple, pear and plum and cherry.
