From the automatic gates, drive into a courtyard with parking for several vehicles.
Enter the house through the front door into a welcoming hall with broad staircase (20m2).
Ahead, access to a fine reception room with restored coffered plaster ceiling and wood panelling, marble fireplace (25m2).
Through further to a second reception room in similar style (28.5m2).
From the entrance hall left into the kitchen which is modern in style, with plenty of storage space (15m2).
Beyond is a WC, pantry with laundry point (15m2), small storeroom with water heater and a trap door to the cellar. From the pantry, access to the second reception room.
From the entrance hall, access to a third reception room (25m2) and a fourth arranged as a library (25m2). These two last require work to make them habitable.
Halfway up the sweeping wooden stairs is a small room which would be ideal as a shower room/WC. The project has been started but needs work.
First floor
The landing is very large, ideal as a games area, reading room, or simply to enjoy as a generous additional space (15m2).
Two parallel central corridors give access on the left to a double bedroom (12.5m2), a spacious bath and shower room with concealed WC (23m2), and on the right to four further, larger bedrooms (23m2,16.7m2,20.5m2 and 18.5m2).
The fourth of these rooms gives access to an attic above (14m2), the tower part of the house, which could be converted into additional habitable space with high ceiling and exposed beams.
Habitable space 264 m2 in total (approx.).
To the side of the main house is a double-height barn in need of some repair. Then, above another outbuilding, we have an apartment, in need of renovation, formerly occupied by the housekeeper.
As an income-generating project, this property is ideal. There is potential to create several individual units here for letting/rentals in a village in need of more capacity, or to restore an elegant family home with additional accommodation and outbuildings.
Altogether, these various outbuildings offer huge potential for anyone with the imagination to make the most of them. Accommodation, artistic projects, craft spaces, workshops...
Now to the exterior:
The large stone terrace at the front of the house is a pleasant spot for al fresco dining.
The extensive grounds are bounded on one side by a little stream, on another by the road, and on a third by the viaduct carrying the cycleway on the former railway line. The elegant high arches lend an impressive note to the edge of the broad meadowland. The current owners cleverly invite local people to graze their animals, keeping the grass down. If you have a landscape/garden/smallholding project in mind, this is a great blank canvas. With huge mature trees and rich grass, plus access to running water, any number of ideas could work here.
Located on the edge of a village, nearby are a restaurant, grocer's shop, primary school and small library as well as the show caves which were opened up a century ago by the local caving club, one of the oldest in Europe. Within five kilometres, the nearest small town offers more in the way of shops, cafés, bars etc. And a drive in the opposite direction takes you to hypermarkets and a wider selection of shopping opportunities. An hour's drive gets you to the Mediterranean for the beaches and the coastal towns and cities.
