Alain Nicolay, Independent Agent, says: | What you see behind the front door of this outstanding farmhouse will certainly take your breath away and anybody that enters will find it very difficult not to fall in love at first sight – it is simply delightful! The property dates back to around 1789 and is made up of a 4 bedroom house with a one bedroom guest house/gîte and outbuildings including a large barn/garage. The main house is bursting with character and lots of original features, such as the oak beams throughout the house, the metre-thick walls and the bread oven in the kitchen. Furthermore it has been exquisitely renovated and tastefully decorated to suit its style and age.
| EXTERIOR
Sitting on a rock foundation the property has the benefit of the most stunning views from its south facing garden overlooking the Mervent Forest and lake, which can be accessed by walking down the meandering path. The garden has been beautifully landscaped and is well stocked with trees, herbs and flowers. There is a large fish pond in the bottom left-hand corner, a working well almost in the centre and the whole garden is surrounded by a well-trimmed laurel hedge. To the far right-hand side there are three stone garden outbuildings which are presently used as; garden shed, potting shed and a store room for the housing of spare tiles.
