| | Jeanette Lough, Independent Agent, says: | This house is a real chocolate box beauty; the owner is a craftsman and has lovingly renovated an old cottage into this beautiful home. You enter the house by a glass door which leads into the large tile floored, kitchen/living area with 2 windows, letting in lots of light. The fitted kitchen walls are tiled, it has a breakfast bar and the wall cupboards have down-lighters below them.
| The wall with a “Godin” wood burner set into the original fireplace, has been chased back to expose the stonework and the other walls are plastered and painted white, throwing the exposed beams into attractive relief. Through a doorway is a beautiful lounge with 1 window to the front, a wooden floor, white walls and exposed beams and a glass patio door leading onto the covered terrace, (which boasts its own loo).This room also has a “Godin” wood burner and a small wall mounted electric heater.
From the living area is an open staircase leading to the bedrooms and bathroom. Bedroom 1, with 2 windows, exposed beams and wooden flooring, has an ensuite bathroom with bath, shower and toilet. Bedroom 2, the smaller bedroom, is accessed through the main bedroom has 1 window exposed beams and is big enough for 1 double and 1 single bed.
Outside, the pretty front garden leads around the house to the covered south facing terrace with its original hand pump for the well, a new modern loo, in its own wood cabin and plenty of room for dining al fresco, or just sampling the local wines. The rest of the garden leads round to the back of the house to the 2nd house and to the barn, huge hangar, old pig sties and a lawn plenty big enough to site a swimming pool, from this lawn you can see the river below and the fields between.
You enter the gite by the double south facing patio doors into the large living room, with a large “Godin” wood burner, through a door is the kitchen, which would need little work to be useful and then brand new bathroom, with loo sink and bath.
From the living room leads a stairway to the upstairs rooms, the first room is large, but doesnÂ’t have good headroom throughout the floor space, and the second a good sized double bedroom.
The roof, electrics and fosse septic are all no more than 2 years old and there is a burglar alarm fitted. This is a very pretty house and viewing is a must to appreciate all the work that has been put into the renovation. The property would be ideal for someone wanting to live in an idyllic situation in a completely renovated property, with a wee house for the visitors to stay in; theyÂ’d be nearby, but not toooo close! Or a possibility to rent the gite for extra income.
