Property with pool Condom (32)

This elegant stone house with barn conversion is hidden behind high walls and electric gates. Once you enter the property there is a sense of peace as the gates close behind you and the long tree-lined drive shows you the way to the mature garden and swimming pool area. There are mature trees and well-maintained lawns, a number of different outdoor sitting areas and two functional wells. The whole house faces south so it is always bright and filled with light. We enter the house by the front hall, which opens on the left to a living room with double aspect. On the right is a large fully fitted kitchen with big French doors to the terrace and a stone fireplace which offers a warm welcome on winter days. Behind the kitchen there is a practical laundry room and a shower room. The original house has been extended in modern times, so beyond the kitchen is a large dining room, followed by a practical office with a door to the garden so it could be used for professional purposes without any need to pass through the main house. Behind the office there is a large storage room with indoor access to the 2-car garage. Beyond the office lies the best feature of this house: a stunning open-plan barn conversion opening onto the garden and a covered veranda. This beautiful space has double height ceilings, and an open staircase leads up to a large mezzanine where there is ample space for the private living area and a loft-style bedroom area. Large French doors on two sides give the impression that the room is part of the garden. Back in the original part of the house, a pretty staircase leads to the first-floor landing with glass doors opening onto a pretty little balcony. On this floor there are three double bedrooms and one single bedroom currently in use as a dressing room, as well as a shower room. On the second-floor landing there is a Juliet balcony with wrought iron railings, a 5th bedroom and a large room that wraps around the house and has the potential to become a really attractive main bedroom. Outside, the garden stretches on both sides of the house and surrounds the large swimming pool. There is just enough land to offer an ample variety of trees and flowers as well as different areas to relax on summer days. There is also a small gatehouse behind the main house which could be a renovation project for future owners. Here at Bliss: We love the idea of having a large mature garden in the centre of a bustling town with all amenities available on foot. It is so unusual to have such a large garden with swimming pool in such a central location. This property is really private and yet so convenient for shops, doctors, schools and the popular Sunday produce market. We would put in a third bathroom in the small bedroom that is currently in use as a dressing room and convert the whole second floor to a master suite. We would consider replacing the flooring on the ground floor, as tastes have changed since the current floors were put in.
