There are 4 bedrooms and the house sits on a 4 acre plot in a beautiful area of countryside. There are useful outbuildings and the potential for equestrian use.Whilst the bathrooms may benefit from an upgrade, the house is a wonderful representation of a traditional french farmhouse constructed from natural materials including terracotta tiles, exposed beams, lime-washed walls, exposed stone and wood-work sourced from local woodland.There is a total 160m2 habitable space. Here’s the lay out:Ground floor:Entrance hallSitting room with glass wall overlooking the gardenAuthentic kitchen with open fireplace, low beams and dining tableGround floor bedroom & en suite bathroom WCFirst floor:3 bedroomsFamily shower roomWCOutside:Four acres of level land including mature trees, a beautifully restored bread oven and a range of outbuildings including the boiler room and a workshop.
