A discreet country lane leads to the entrance of the estate which is accessed by a long and private driveway flanked with trees. The air of complete seclusion is yet further enhanced by the ancient stone walls of a private courtyard to the front of the property with parking outside the main walls. The courtyard is dotted with mulberry trees, between the main body of the house to one side, and the guest wing on the other. An opening in the far way leads the eye on a tantalising journey through a leafy doorway to a bright blue fleck of light and water and the swimming pool beyond. This dash of modernity is carefully hidden from view, so that on our initial entry to the property, there is the timeless feel one would expect from a period property on a site occupied since Roman times. We enter the main house via an entrance hall with an ancient fireplace in super working order. The pleasingly chunky stone floor flags are suitable for muddy boots, and this welcoming area is the perfect cloakroom, but also a spot in the house where the owner would light a fire and sit and read a book. To the side there is a useful laundry and utility room, kingdom of the resident cats at feeding time, with a shower and guest cloakroom in the hallway. The formal entrance hall to the property is currently dressed as a dining-room. From here, we access a comfortable sitting-room with a splendid working fireplace style directoire. Nothing rivals the charm of a crackling log fire, and here the current owner has dressed the room with comfortable sofas and armchairs; a delightful place to read with an undeniably cosy ambience. The sitting-room might easily be used as a formal dining-room (allowing the main hallway its original purpose). From here, there is a view and doorway to the splendid raised terraces; the room bathed with southerly light and a glimpse of the Pyrenées sketched on the horizon on certain days of the year. There are three main reception rooms in this property. We turn our attention now to the second; a grand reception room, with its superb wooden floor. This room also has a large fireplace and is spacious enough to comprise a formal seating area, and over 55m² of space for formal entertainment. Off the grand salon, there is a small area which currently houses a dresser, and allows for the preparation of food between the kitchen and the main reception room of the house. The last of the three main rooms is a wonderful library room at the far end of the main house, with fitted bookshelves. This room is also used a music room, with space for a grand piano, and another fine fireplace. The fitted main kitchen is a glorious and spacious room. With space for a breakfast table and doors into the garden, an open fireplace for grilling meat, and a terra cotta stone floor this room is also an aesthetically pleasing reception room for an informal lunch between friends. We complete our tour of the ground floor of the main house, with a look at the laundry room. A staircase from a second hallway leads to the first floor, where a spacious landing (a room in its own right) house a large dresser, and with space for a bureau at the far end. On the first floor there are two main ensuite bedrooms, which have the feel of private apartments. In particular the master bedroom, with its own dressing-room, and vast ensuite bathroom, leading to the bedroom at the far end. The third bedroom may be used as a single bedroom or a study and shares the ensuite in the second bedroom (which has two doors to ensure complete privacy). The Guest Suite This property is a delight for anyone wishing to entertain family and friends and to provide each guest with a sense of complete independence. The main house can very much remain the private domain of the owners. In the stone buildings on the other side of the mulberry shaded courtyard, there is a long stone building which has been divided into three sections. The first boasts a fabulous main reception room with arched gates to the panoramic pool beyond the sitting room and kitchen, and has its own private guest or garden kitchen and sitting room, and a separate room housing the pool machinery. On the first floor above there are two double bedrooms each with their own ensuite bathrooms. The next guest apartment is a one level building with a vast bedroom with an ensuite bathroom. The final guest apartment is a two-level building with a reception/kitchen, a terrace, and upstairs a double bedroom with an ensuite shower-room. In each of the garden folies there is a sleeping area and a bathroom. The Pool & Gardens This property undoubtedly has one of the most architecturally spectacular gardens we have seen at BLISS. The views combined with neatly tended walls, stretching to an ancient stone wall, with stone steps down to the lower gardens, and two “folies” at each end of the wall are impossible to rival for pure symmetry and beauty. The poolside is delightful. Utterly tranquil, and with gorgeous views over the surrounding countryside. There is an undeniable sense of having found a “Secret Garden” with this property; its shaded terraces providing the perfect place to dine, on the other side of the courtyard wall. You will find more photographs and additional information on our BLISS IMMOBILIER website.

This lovely stone property, with its elegant facade, sits in the heart of Condom, a couple of minutes walk from the many local restaurants, shops, schools and weekly market. With 4 bedrooms, 2 reception-rooms, a dining-room and a study, this property is an ideal family home. The property is located in the heart of historical Condom, in an elevated position, from which a good number of lengthly walks around the glorious park, the river, or the 33 KM converted railway line « le chemin vert » are easily accessible, making the property the perfect balance between town and country. The property is representative of the grand 18th century homes found in Gascony, with high ceilings and tall windows. The property has been fully restored over the last ten years and has good double-glazing. The roof has undergone work in the last couple of years, and there is gas central-heating throughout, all of which combine to provide a comfortable, spacious and extremely elegant home. Let’s take a look in more detail: The main front door opens directly from the street. On the other side, a long entrance hallway divides the property into two sections. The first section has hooks on the wall for coats and a glass door into the front reception where there is a downstairs cloakroom (WC and sink) and a view onto the fabulous original turning staircase, one of the most impressive features of this property. The stair case is spacious and grand, rising elegantly to the first and second floor. To the left of the entrance hallway, there is a spacious study overlooking the street, with a decorative fireplace, no-longer in use and a wooden floor. On the other side of the hallway, also overlooking the street, there is an elegant dining-room, with a large cupboard for the crockery, and a terra-cotta style floor. This room has plenty of space for a large dining-room table. At the far end of the hallway, beyond the central lobby and staircase, there is a cosy downstairs sitting-room with both a window and French doors to the rear courtyard. Approximate measurements Ground floor Entrance: 6.25 m² Clearance: 10 m² Office: 18.25 m² WC: 2 m² Living room: 19.40 m² Kitchen: 21.95 m² Laundry room: 8.70 m² Corridor: 1.50 m² Dining room: 16.15 m² 1st floor Landing: 4.50 m² Bedroom 1: 20.25 m² Clearance: 1.75 m² Bedroom 2: 23.60 m² Bathroom: 8.05 m² WC: 2.15 m² Corridor: 2.95 m² Living room: 38.95 m² Dressing room: 6.85 m² Second floor Landing: 4.20 m² Bathroom: 10.35 m² Bedroom 3: 22.35 m² Bedroom 4: 26.75 m² --- Attic: 27.30 m² Garage

The main house: The hallway The front door opens onto a neat hallway with storage for coats and shoes. The downstairs double bedroom To the right of the hallway there is a downstairs double bedroom overlooking the front garden. The room has been decorated in calm and neutral colours in keeping with the tasteful decor throughout the entire property. There is ample space for a double bed, and behind the bed, a plaster-board wall which has been added to cleverly concealed a wash-basin to one side and a shower on the other. The « middle » reception room with wood burning stove This room sits in a central position between the front hallway and the rear door to the garden. The wooden staircase to the first floor is housed in the corner. This is a lovely spot to sit, at the heart of the property, beside the wood-pellet burner and the original old fireplace. Two cosy arm-chairs are carefully positioned with two reading lights, providing the perfect place to work or to read. The pellet burner is a recent addition, its flames casting a rich red hue to the white stone walls. We traverse this room to reach a second inner hallway, the kitchen, downstairs laundry room, bathroom and cloakroom (WC). The Petit Salon The original reception room is a picturesque bijou of a room. With exposed stone walls and original beams, this room has all the delicacy of a drawing room in a parsonage. It is a « delicate » room, its décor pure and uncluttered with two simple sofas in muted tones and a view (which increases the sense of its size) onto the wood burning stove and « middle » reception room. The Petit Salon and Middle Reception Room work together in many ways, to create one large entertainment space at the heart of the property - with the Petit Salon providing a more intimate setting into which one could escape with a book. The laundry room This is not so much a laundry room as a cleverly designed cupboard with all the requisite depth for a washing machine and dryer. The downstairs cloakroom, WC, Bathroom The WC is separate from the main bathroom, and has a small vanity unit and sink just outside its door. A large and spacious bathroom is situated on the ground floor of the property. The Kitchen Currently this is one of our favourite kitchens here at Bliss and one which would easily find its way into any lifestyle magazine for country homes in Gascony. It is more than just a kitchen but rather more a vast reception room in its own right, where the current owners spend much of their time at the large dining table, eating, preparing food, or enjoying the views to the garden. With French doors to the terrace and a window over a characterful sink area, the kitchen is styled with a light touch, with natural materials, textures and tones. A simplicity which looks easy but is hard to achieve. The First Floor and « occasional » bedroom A wooden staircase leads up to a spacious central landing with a day bed. This space can be used as an additional bedroom for guests but is very much an open-plan room which sits between the two upstairs bedrooms. The two main upstairs bedrooms Both in neutral tones, of creams and whites with a beautiful wooden floor running across the entire length of the first floor, both rooms are zen and restful providing generous space light. The guest house At a short distance from the main house across the lawn, there is a cute cottage-style guest house, comprising a bedroom and ensuite shower room. The guest cottage has been designed with the same inimitable style and flair, in identical matching muted tones. This is a delightful abode for guests wishing to retreat to the countryside How many buildings are there - and how would you describe these? The property comprises four buildings : The main house- which is a pretty stone property with white stone walls. A guest-house across the lawn from the main house, in matching stone. A vast enclosed barn, of approximately 120 m², ideal as a workshop or for a collection of vehicles, with an upper floor providing space for a multitude of activities - and with an attached car port. The vestiges of a ruined house, without a roof and with crumbling walls. The ruin sits to the rear of the property but has the merit of existing on the cadastral plan - meaning it could perhaps one day be restored - planning permission permitting.

We leave the lively town of Condom, and head for the countryside. The drive to the property is peaceful, and we soon leave the main roads behind, traversing farmland, fields of wheat, sunflower and corn. On arrival, we pull into a smart driveway beside a neat looking garden, where from the outset everything appears to be in immaculate order. The property has recently been rendered, and has a smart and attractive appeal from the outside. The windows have all been recently changed to aluminium their frames contrasting nicely with the stone façade. The land slopes down to a row of vines in neat rows, lending a feel of Provence to the landscape which is lush and emerald green. This is a peaceful location, the one neigbouring property turned to face the other way and at a discreet distance. The house looks towards the views and over its own garden. There is nothing to spoil the landscape for miles around. On the far side of the property, there is a fabulous covered terrace which has been designed as an outdoor reception room, with a summer kitchen, an ideal spot for a large dining-table, and views both to the pool and orchard. This sheltered spot provides a perfect place for alfresco dining both in summer rain or scorching hot days when it is impossible to sit outside without shade. We enter a light-filled open-plan kitchen/reception-room with large bay windows on two sides, one opening directly onto the recently fitted pool and the other to the terrace where the owners like to sit in the evenings for a drink. The view of the poolside, when the windows are pulled open, is particularly inviting; lending the impression that one could step from the living room directly to the waters edge. Our impression that this is one continuous space is accentuated by the stone terrace which flows nicely from the house to the pool in one continuous stretch. In the living room there is a fireplace which houses a log-burning glass insert, for snug winter evenings by the fire. The walls and floors are all in neutral tones, with a clean white ceiling, which gives the impression the property has only just been built, despite the old stone walls. The kitchen is immaculate, with a number of useful contemporary white storage units, a central island, and a view directly onto the reception room, and to the pool. There is a walk in cupboard for additional storage. The splash-back is tiles with white ceramic tiles, the oven inserted into a wall unit and the extractor fan in slick black : all of white contribute to the kitchen’s crisp, smart appeal. To the rear of the kitchen a small inner corridor leads to an additional pantry area, where the freezer and fridge are kept, with additional storage cupboards. At the end of the corridor there is a downstairs cloakroom, with WC and wash basin and next to it, a lovely clean white laundry room with a downstairs shower. At the end of the hallway, there is a downstairs double bedroom, which in turn has its own private entrance/exit, opening onto a covered porch area with a concrete floor, where the family car is parked, and where a door leads to a spacious barn with a new wooden doors, an ideal space to house the logs for the fire, or the garden tools. This workshop area has a concrete floor and a new pine ceiling with electricity, water and a sink. The ground floor double bedroom is ideal for guests or older children having a private door to the garden, and with the downstairs bathroom and shower room next door this enables perfect guest accommodation. This completes our tour of the ground floor. Now let’s take a look upstairs. We ascend to the first floor via a contemporary black metal staircase which leads to a spacious landing area, which is more than just a landing but an upstairs reception room, with lovely windows running the length of the room, and overlooking the front garden. There is a bookshelf, a guitar, the perfect area to relax, and take in the views. This central landing/upstairs living space has a hallway at each end, leading to the upstairs bedrooms. On one side there is a bedroom currently set up with twin beds, which has a skylight, and next to it a double bedroom with pleasant garden views from a tilting window, and exposed beams painted in white. On the other side of the landing there is a white marble bathroom with a bathtub, beautiful long sink, and shower, also with marble tiles. The bathroom has direct access to a fabulous long dressing room, with a row of cupboards on each side, with glass doors, with lots of space to keep all the family laundry hidden from view. In the hallway there is an upstairs cloakroom/WC, with red and white decorative tiles, and a washbasin, and at the far end of the hallway, a double bedroom with fantastic views both over the poolside and the surrounding countryside. The upstairs bedrooms share the aforementioned family bathroom, with shower and bathtub. The property has one final surprise for us. A separate guest cottage, which is has a downstairs bedroom, kitchen, and shower room/WC, and a first floor loft area, which is currently used as a music room for guitar sessions. The guest annexe is perfect for friends and family having its own kitchen, for complete independence.

Romanticists, aspiring Gothic heroes & heroines apply within…. Overview If your heart is stirred by visions of a Chateau with ochre-coloured walls in the setting sun; of high ceilings, and period charm without the need for perfection; or if you are someone for whom beauty outweighs all sense of the practical… then “read” on Macduff: this paragraph could be the first stepping-stone on the road to a great adventure. This is a property for those who are grand of heart, for souls imbued with a touch of gentle folly and for whom the reward is something quite beautiful: A cinematic backdrop, a theatrical pastiche of every castle-based movie you have ever viewed; a home of character with all the grandeur of the Italian Renaissance. The entrance & gardens The arrival to any Chateau must by necessity be somewhat majestic and here the avenue does not disappoint, being suitably mysterious with vegetation high on each side. The long stone driveway opens out onto a forecourt with a circular driveway which circles around a central island of Cyprus trees. The chateau rises before us, amber and gold in the sunlight, its flaking façade perfect in its imperfection. Its windows are guarded by tall French Grey shutters, its central doorway is grand and majestic in its welcome. The property rises high above a stone terrace and decorative fishpond. The façade to the North reveals a series of stone arcades, open to the elements. To each side of the Chateau there are woods and gardens, with hundred-year-old trees, all of which lend a sense of mystery to the lieu. To the front of the property there is a stone fishpond beyond which is a flight of stone steps up to the terrace and the grand front door. The stone barn to the right of the Château is the perfect backdrop to the grand hydrangea bushes which have grown tall in its shade. The barn to the rear is partially inaccessible and now more or less in a ruined state. Once a stable block, this building might yet be salvaged. A second outbuilding to the front of the driveway is in a similar condition. Sitting to the right of the main terrace, in a recess beyond, is a stone building or orangery, with a sink and an array of pots, to harbour the lemon and orange trees over winter. The Entrance The grand front door opens onto a majestic hallway, from which a turning wooden staircase rises to the first floor, with a sweep of wrought iron balcony, and walls which look as if one has fallen headfirst into the pages of an Italian Gothic novel. The walls are remarkable, in the pastiche of a pastiche setting sun, their gentle ochre and yellow tones catching the sunlight from the west in a theatrical manner. The kitchen & Pantry area To the right of the entrance hall door, there is a large double kitchen, with a fireplace and windows over the front forecourt and to the gardens at the side of the property. The ceilings are high, and the room spacious enough to incorporate a large dining room table, and a rear section with a sink, for food preparation. Beyond the kitchen is a small vestibule, which serves as a pantry, and an inner corridor with a large cupboard, which houses the washing machine and dryer, and overlooking the gardens to the rear, a room currently used as a study, and a downstairs 1930’s style bathroom. The Drawing Room From the main entrance hall, it is pleasing to access the grand drawing room via the original eighteenth century doors. The drawing room offers a view onto the rear garden via a set of characterful French windows that open onto the rear terrace. The room has a central fireplace which is not currently in use and as in many of the rooms here at the Chateau, we invite guests to look upwards at the ornate ceilings. The drawing room opens internally onto two other rooms, one on each side. Firstly, a grand dining room, conveniently placed between the drawing room, and (via the internal hallway) back to the rear pantry and kitchen. The second room is smaller in size and used as a snug, or living room, where the family gather to watch television or play games. From the door of the snug, we return to the main hallway, passing a doorway with steps leading down to the cellar below. Central Turning Staircase The staircase in the central hallway is a delight, and climbing to the first floor, we experience its generous proportions, and the majestic tall ceilings which lead the eye upwards to the first-floor landing. The first floor The first floor has all the elegance one would expect, with tall windows to the front forecourt of the property. A half landing, with a secret door leads up a tiny internal staircase to one of the ante chambers above, serving no logical purpose other than to evacuate servants (or lovers?) from the bedroom in haste. A delight for amateurs of Hide and Seek, whatever one’s age. The bedrooms On the first floor via a second internal hallway, there are four double bedrooms and at each end of the property a vestibule or oval room and a family bathroom at each end of the property (or a total of two bathroom on the first floor and one on the ground floor). The second-floor vestibules, which are oval, might well be used as antechambers, dressing rooms, or children’s bedroom. Each of the rooms is similar in style and period feature: tall ceilings, lovely wooden floors, fireplaces and views over the parkland. A doorway opens onto a second stairway, in brut form and far less grandiose than the first, leading to the impressive attic space above. This huge space has at one end the tremendous open archways. At the opposite end these have been bricked in but beg to be opened. The Attic The space sets the imagination on fire. Whatever architectural plans are born here, they must of course be validated by the local planning authorities that be, but this is a space which in sheer volume at least (with the romantic idea of an arched view over the gardens at one end, if not two ends of the property) offers endless possibilities. Technical Talk Total habitable surface area: approximately 368m2 4 bedrooms 2 ante chambers (or children’s bedrooms) 3 family bathrooms (2 on the first floor one on the ground floor) Grand drawing room Dining room Snug/television room Spacious kitchen and rear kitchen Study Immense third floor attic space Outside: Orangery Various outbuildings requiring restoration Parkland of over three hectares with mature trees Plot size: 37690m2 Property Tax: 2285 Septic tank Mains water 2 water wells Double Glazing: No (original wooden windows). Shutters in fair condition except on the top floor Roof: Original roof (to be verified Oil fired central heating (De Dietrich boiler) 2 plastic tanks house the oil in the basement Kitchen fireplace working order (others may have been capped off and are not used) Smart metre: no 1 hot water tank Internet: by OZONE – satellite Who might want to live here? – and what needs doing? This is not a modest property by any stretch of the imagination. It has a grandeur which requires a generous budget and a grain of delightful folly. Beyond the purchase price, unless one is content to live here throughout the warmer months of the year, there will be by necessity the need to be some thought and finances given to insulating the property to minimize running costs. The top floor, whether it obtains planning permissions in the future or not, whatever the project might be, is currently open to the elements at one end (via a series of Romanic “in the summer” archways) and not currently insulated either on the floor or the ceiling. The property was decorated some years ago by an interior designer and the walls are in their own delightful way a work of Art, which add much charm to the building. If the style and colours please, then there is nothing that needs doing other than choosing furniture for each room. The windows however require some attention. The lovely old window frames are single glazed, and the choice here will be one of heart or head. But if the current window frames are to be kept some repair work will be necessary. The bathrooms have a period charm but are completely unmodernized (one of these has a quaint 1930 air to it), and the decision to change these or not will be one of aesthetics. All this said, the property will appeal to anyone who loves the architecture of an old French Chateau. This is the perfect home for a large family or a business project. This is a house to fill with family, friends and furniture. The elegant rooms beg to be decorated and the tall ceilings offer a fantastic opportunity to hang great chandeliers, or pieces of Art on the walls. The home of a Collector, an Artist, a Designer? A small bijou hotel… the possibilities are endless. This will be a property which will tug on the heart strings of many, for it is so easy to imagine the Chateau illuminated in the evening, the backdrop to any number of wonderful soirées. A property which requires full evening dress, full glasses, a full imagination, and a not immodest purse. But oh! ……Quelle Joie!!! A Little Bit of Fun Recommended Books to take on the trip: Enchanted April - Elizabeth Von Arnim (try the 1993 movie if not the book) Recommended movies : Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) or A Good Year ( 2006) Recommended drinks: The very best pink champagne to reflect the golden pink and amber tones of these lovely old walls.

A delightful townhouse with a walled garden just steps away from the bustling high street, yet preserving a quiet elegance and gentle tranquility with a beautiful private garden This property has been completely renovated; the roof, electricity, plumbing, heating system, bathrooms and kitchens have all been entirely replaced during the renovations. The property is ready to move into immediately and is designed tastefully in neutral tones. The property is light and elegant with a pleasant mix of contemporary and period features. This property has the added advantage of having an additional studio with kitchen, shower room and reception area. This studio appartment can be linked to the main house or used as a separate dwelling for guests and has its own separate entrance in the street behind the house. The Garden The enclosed garden provides the perfect amount of outdoor space whilst being the perfect size for easy maintenance. There are a number of mature trees, including palm trees there are both sunny and shaded spots for those hot summer months A stone path leads from the garden up a couple of steps to a spacious wooden terrace and to the door to the main house. We enter the main house from the garden, the walk through the small and newt garden heightening our sense of “leaving the world behind” and yet being just a stone’s throw away from the bakery, local cafés and restaurants. The Ground Floor This spacious reception room comprises a living-area and large open plan kitchen. The large windows overlooking the garden flood the room with sunlight. There is a wood-burning stove for cozy winter nights in-front of a movie. It should be noted that as an extension to the ground floor of the main house we can also access (via a connecting door) the ground floor of the separate studio apartment, thus entering a second reception area with a kitchen. The studio has undergone the same tasteful renovations as the main house. Back to the Main house & The First Floor The staircase is a remarkable feature in itself as it is flooded with daylight from the huge skylight in the high ceiling above; a real bonus on a rainy day and a juxtaposition of light and shadow on a sunny day depending on the hour. This part of the property adds a delightful contemporary note to the home and ensures a sensory light-filled experience every time you ascend to the first floor. From the landing, we can see that the first floor has been expertly divided into two large and luxurious suites. On our right is the first suite; a sunny, spacious bedroom with three gorgeous windows and wooden floors, a large walk-in closet, separate WC and a beautiful shower room. On the other side of the landing is the second suite, almost as spacious in size. This comprises a large shower room, WC, a double bedroom with two windows, ornamental fireplace, and an alcove/dressing area which is equipped with a water connection should this be required in the future Second Floor There are two good-sized rooms on the second floor, and although this section of the property is under the eaves, there is more than enough space for a bedroom and a large study. The vast skylight on the landing, as well as the smaller ones on both sides, are all original features and were newly fitted when the roof was replaced. The Cave Not all town houses in the Gascony have basements, but this one is an exception. It is accessed by a small door below the living room, and provides enough space to store wood and other items, and to keep the hot water heater in a safe and dry place. It is an ideal spot for a secret store of wine. The Garage This is a real plus for a town house, and although only spacious enough to park a small car, it is the perfect space to keep your bicycles and gardening equipment. It has been well renovated, in keeping with the entire property, and has a separate workshop area. A door leads to the first-floor studio with balcony.

Manor house & guest house with stables, paddocks and 47 hectares The setting The property is set in 30 hectares of woodlands, park and paddocks, with an additional 17 hectares of woodland and fields bordering the small local river on the other side of the road. The trees are marvelous and it is a pleasure to drive up the winding driveway, past beautifully kept paddocks on one side and tall trees on the other. Once we arrive at the heart of the property, we find a small lake, and just past it the wooden horse boxes (built within the last five years). There are more fenced paddocks, and tall oak trees before we arrive at the main buildings. The main house The main house of the property is set back from the paddocks and other farm buildings. It is a classic maison de maître, built in the 1840s, and as such offers elegant lines, large windows and spacious rooms. Once through the front door, a large hallway opens on the left to the main living room with its original floors, working fireplace, and parquet floors. This room has double aspect windows. Venture further, and discover a good-sized games room, an attractive dining room and a small but practical kitchen. Behind the kitchen there is a charming sitting room with a large open fireplace and original stone hand basin. This was probably the original kitchen. On the first floor, there is a long wide corridor which gives access to 5 good sized bedrooms. The first one has an en suite shower room, and there is another one with a bath and a handbasin. The last bedroom also has a handbasin hidden behind a door. There is a large and sunny family bathroom, and a separate WC. On the left-hand side of the house a previous owner as built a separate studio apartment comprising a living/sleeping space, a small kitchen, a shower room and a private terrace. This could easily be rented out or used as a granny flat. The laundry room also serves as a boiler room, and it has separate access. The Pool A separate fenced garden is accessible through the main house or a side gate. This enclosed area features a heated swimming pool with a separate play area for toddlers and there is a charming small covered terrace with a built-in pizza oven and a BBQ, which is ideal for summer pool parties. The Chai The current owners have chosen to make this spacious open-plan dwelling their home. A huge ceramic wood burning stove forms the centrepiece and although there is underfloor heating here, it is the stove that is most used. There is also an open plan fully equipped kitchen, a laundry room, a WC, and a shower room with a large walk-in closet. Previous owners have sectioned off an area here to make an enclosed bedroom, but this would be easy to remove. There is also a good-sized mezzanine which serves as an office. Also in this building, separate from the living space, there is a large technical area with a professional kitchen, cold rooms, WC, all of which were previously used for food preparation and have not been touched by the current owner. This area could be used for a variety of projects, and subject to planning permission could also be converted to further living space. Here at Bliss It has become increasingly rare to find a property with so much land and with so much potential. You really feel here that you are in your own bubble and although you can sometimes hear a car pass by, it is so lovely and peaceful and private that we just didn’t want to leave. We would probably update the kitchen in the main house, and perhaps the family bathroom – although the retro style is very popular now! This is the ideal home for those looking for privacy, self-sufficiency and space and could also be a great spot to have an eco-friendly business.
