Countryside location, only a short drive to commercial & sporting facilities Pretty formal and informal gardens with swimming pool Charming 2 bedroomed gîte in the former pigeonnier Upgraded accommodation, suitable as a spacious family home or bed & breakfast business This historic building was constructed in the late 17th century and remained in the family for 300 years. Over the years it has been sympathetically restored retaining its many original features and provides comfortable accommodation. The main entrance is from a gravel driveway in front of the building. It opens on to a hallway with an original tiled floor. Doors lead to a sitting room and dining room with small turret to the rear, both with fireplaces and a drawing room and library to the front. The central hallway goes to the rear of the house with steps down to the gardens. There are stairs down to the dining kitchen, utility and pantry with a door outside to the side of the property.

Facing this on the other side of the gardens is a large barn area with a sizeable floor area suitable for a variety of purposes or potentially to develop subject to appropriate planning permission. Overall there are approximately 3 hectares of parkland and woodland with formal and informal gardens from which to enjoy the countryside.
