House with garden and terraceChâteauneuf-Grasse (06)

Access to the property is via a wrought-iron gate that opens out onto a large parking area with the garage, a carport and greenhouse opposite. Below the house is a basement area offering 25m² of storage / work space. To the right is a short staircase leading up to the front door and kitchen terrace, with a herb garden beyond. Let’s pop up to the kitchen first, where we’re immediately greeted by the very warm atmosphere that reigns… From the colour of the units and furniture to the wooden floors and counter tops, the atmosphere is immediately one of delightful cosiness. All the necessary appliances are there and the beautifully quaint wood burner finishes things off very nicely indeed, providing for the house’s hot water needs during the cooler winter months. Just beyond is a laundry room and a back door leading out onto the western terrace.
From the kitchen we take the corridor up past the front door to the right, a shower room to the left, with four large bedrooms beyond, the first of which is currently used as a comfortable office space with a floating parquet floor. All the bedrooms are spacious, bright, welcoming and besides the office space, offer in-built cupboards. Two face east so benefit from sunshine in the morning, while the third is north-facing. To the left the corridor passes another bathroom and separate toilet and continues on towards the 25m² living room. With its south-west orientation, the room floods with natural sunlight from mid-morning to late evening in the summer months, while the open fireplace on the north wall along with the library-style bookshelves offer a wonderfully cosy corner to relax in come wintertime… The living room opens via double bay windows onto the western terrace, with its covered lounge area, a lovely spot for drinks, barbecues and games all year round.
Adjacent to this terrace and the living room is another entrance leading into a vestibule / cloakroom that communicates with the main corridor. From here we can take the staircase up to the master bedroom suite, with its 35m² of floor space (built into the attic, the habitable surface area is a comfortable 19m²). The bedroom is again bright and airy, with ample cupboard space and a lovely en suite bathroom with shower and a sunken bath.
Heating is oil fired, wood fired and electric (through reversible heating / air conditioning units), and there is double glazing throughout.
