Description
FOR SALE - a fantastic barn conversion situated between Doué-la-Fontaine and Thouars
This thoughtfully renovated and tastefully decorated barn conversion sits in quiet countryside with open views over surrounding fields.
The entrance hall gives the first views of one sitting room, the kitchen and even the mezzanine via the atelier style openings, leading on to the show piece of this property; the dining area with its 5m high ceiling. The central part of the barn comprises the open plan library area, dining room and sitting room. A second TV / music room leads on from here. The large kitchen dining room features a bespoke artist created mosaic, high quality appliances and a La Canche oven.
The curved staircase with hand-made banister leads up to the bedrooms and a walkway which allows the dining area to be appreciated from above. The main suite comprises a large bedroom, walk-in dressing room and a bathroom with twin sinks, toilet and a roll-top bath.
Two further bedrooms have a shared bathroom (with separate shower) and toilet. The first floor is completed by a large guest suite with walk-in wardrobe, toilet and separate bathroom.
The ground floor continues with a separate utility room with direct access to the garden. The room has kitchen units and a corner TV / playroom space for children. Leading on from here is the boiler room.
The property has a separate cottage featuring a private terrasse, fitted and equipped kitchen, large living / dining room with a wood burning stove, an office area, bathroom and toilet and finally a great sized bedroom. The cottage is perfect for guest / family accommodation or could be used as a gite.
A separate 70m2 outbuilding has been transformed to provide workshop space with great lighting, internet and of course power and water. A second larger workshop at the other end of the house is similarly equipped. Subject to planning authorisation, it may be possible to convert this second building to provide further living / gite accommodation.
Having been entirely renovated, both properties benefit from excellent insulation, double and triple glazing, heating via wood and pellet stoves, as well as an oil central heating system with radiator thermostats that are individually controlled via smartphone. There are several hot water tanks throughout the properties to ensure a rapid supply of hot water.
