A stunning, high specification luxury home with land, pool and stables. Perfect for keeping horses.

A rare opportunity to buy a unique home in idyllic surroundings. Nestling in the middle of its own pasture land, surrounded by forests, this house is perfectly situated for horses and riders with direct access to forest tracks allowing miles and miles of off road riding

Retaining many original features including exposed beams, stone walls, a magnificent stone fireplace and bread oven. It has all the modern conveniences any family could hope for

On the ground floor is a fitted Schmidt kitchen with granite work surfaces, an island, range cooker and all appliances you could expect to find in a top quality kitchen. It has exposed tuffeau stone walls and beams ad the floor is traditional limestone tiles. There is ample room for a dining table and chairs seating 8 people. There are windows on both sides of the rooms with views across the garden and fields in front and behind the house.

The lounge has an original fireplace, with log burning fire, and access to the bread oven which has been dug out and turned into a cave, the prefect storage for wine. The original arched doorway to the front of the cottage has been retained and to the rear are patio doors leading to the conservatory. There are exposed beams and stone walls, and limestone tiles underfoot

The conservatory is a hexagon shape and has underfloor heating and air conditioning making it perfect for summer and winter use, with beautiful views of the surrounding fields and woodland beyond

The hallway off the kitchen leads to a large walk in pantry to the left and a 3rd bedroom/office on the right, then on to a spacious area leading to the staircase and utility room which is fully fitted out with shelving and a sink with plumbing and electrics for a washing machine
