Description
The attractive main house, built in the Italian style, is tastefully renovated over 2 floors.
On the lower ground floor is the old servants' kitchen and a boiler room. (Solar panels are being installed to heat the water in the summer months) A vaulted wine cave, and a gym equipped with sauna, Jacuzzi and hammam spa, a housekeeper's bedroom and bathroom and access to full height cellars and workshop with exterior access.
On the main floor a lovely light and bright reception hall, library, kitchen, salon, study and dining room lead to a staircase with original painted plaster. To the first floor (on the half landing a wc and access to the back staircase leading to the annex with 2 bedrooms and the gite). On the first floor a wide "library" corridor with 4 large ensuite double bedrooms and an adjoining smaller 5th bedroom with access onto a corridor with wc.
On the 2nd floor a further 196m2 of habitable space in the process of renovation with restored exposed beams, 2 bedrooms with a functional bathroom, a study, and a lounge area, plus 2 further bedrooms and shower rooms to finish ( plumbing etc. all in place).
Next to the main house and accessible from the back staircase or outside and through the graveled courtyard, there is the gite/loft of 200m2 spread over 2 floors, with 4 large bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and an ensuite shower room. It sleeps 13 with the potential for 16 by opening the 2 annex ensuite bedrooms (one with kitchenette and stairs to a ground floor terrace). There is a spacious lounge with a fireplace, a large dining kitchen, and TV area. All are serviced by fuel central heating system, a wood fire and a 200L water heater) The gite currently rents for approx 3900 euros per week.
There is a further building, currently under renovation with 3 floors and could work beautifully as a function room and car park or something else (subject to necessary permissions)?
To the right of the main property is the chapel built in 1885, it is built in a 15th-century gothic style. This is too dangerous to keep open at the moment but would provide a wonderful backdrop for weddings and events.
Behind this the owners have plans for a large marquee for events which would be close to the old servants' kitchen, for the catering services to use. In front of the property is a 14 x 7m swimming pool (chlorine) with a concertina glass cover and a newly tiled sun terrace. Also a small lake with weeping willow. In the immediate grounds are plane trees, cedar and an enormous magnolia tree. The owners have plans to create a rose garden in front the steps leading to the main entrance.
Road safety permitting, the old gates to the property could be reinstated with a long gravel drive leading to the main house..this would give the gite and dependencies separate access.
