HouseChavagne (35)

This property is secluded in the middle of its estate of more than 2 hectares, entirely enclosed by hedging. This prestigious property has bags of charm. The pond with its beautiful willows, contemplating their own reflection in the water, is a serenely ever-changing spectacle of nature. The gardens are mature and there are many landscaped walks, which will take you on a tour around the lake, through the woods or the orchards? a walk where you may also come across the baker's oven, or the well? that is, unless you prefer to bask in the full sun on the south facing terrace which overlooks the grounds, and where preparation has already been made for a swimming pool. There is also for those sporting types, a tennis court (which needs some restoration), possibility for a swim in the lake, or a track around the estate for a gentle morning jog. The lake of 1 hectare (not subject to any fishing laws) is stocked with pike and carp amongst other species, enough to satisfy any devotee of fishing.
Description :
The property was renovated with comfort, space and light in mind. (It also has thermo-insulation.) The property is separated into 3 distinct, yet inter-connected living spaces.
The main part of the house has a hall which opens into a lounge of more than 60m2; its grandiose proportions are increased further by the vaulted ceilings at one end, and whose character is retained by the exposed and original beams and fireplace. There is an open plan dining room at one end which extends into a kitchen around the corner. On the other side of the lounge is a large bedroom (more than 45 m ²) which has its own dressing room and an unusual open ensuite bathroom, this room overlooks the south facing terrace. A staircase rises from the lounge up to a study on the mezzanine floor. Leading from this is a corridor with fitted wardrobes/storage along one side. From this corridor you can access each of the three bedrooms and the main bathroom. A door makes it possible to communicate with the 2nd part of house.
Annex - On the ground floor of this part of the house is an open plan kitchen/living room, currently being used as a utility room, and upstairs 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. The rest of this floor is attic space.
There is also a double garage, a workshop, a utility room and a wine cellar in the main building. In the grounds, a garden shed, two garages, the tennis court and a cleared space for a pool.
