| | Toby Hawkins, Independent Agent, says: | So which is better? A stone traditional building from the 1800s or a modern, insulated state of the art house?
Here, you can have both. A cunning mix of ancient and modern give you the charming building, yet modern building methods give you the ease of living associated with modern build.
| This is really huge. Over 160m2 on the ground floor, and over 130m2 upstairs as well as a large cellar.
The exterior is built of reclaimed stone, built in the traditional method and incorporating the character of other stone houses in the area, with bull’s eye windows, pigeon loft and stone sink in the wall. Inside there are new oak beams, again using the original building techniques, but not a trace of worm in these beautiful timbers. The inner walls are block built, ready to be plaster boarded and for stud walling to divide this enormous house according to your taste and needs. It really is the perfect blank canvas. All the tricky and expensive work is completed. It has double glazed wooden windows
This is a high quality build, ready to incorporate under floor heating, is connected to mains drains and mid way between two charming villages, each about a mile away.
But wait – the garden is truly remarkable too.
The house sits atop a hill looking down over the garden, which is completely secret from the outside world, with superb woods and the lazy river running at the foot of the garden. Outside the house there is a terrace at each end of the house, to ensure that you have both morning and evening sun.
Anyone familiar with house construction will see that this is an outstanding house, or will be. It is not yet habitable, needing flooring on both levels, though there is a temporary shower room.
Come and have a look and let your imagination run riot.
