The best of both worlds - and with views
Can't decide between a contemporary house designed for summer living with pool and a shady dining verandah, or a snug cottage for a cosy winter?
This unique 2-in-1 home gives you both! In summer the barn conversion offers soaring ceilings, double height french doors and direct access to the in-ground pool, terrace and BBQ area giving you the best of outdoor/indoor living. Then, come winter the original cottage enjoys a wood burner, thick walls and central heating. Both give extensive views over your own grounds, yet the property is just a pleasant 10 minutes walk to shops, bars, bakeries and Belabre's popular swimming lake.
As currently configured across the property there are 5 bedrooms and 4 bath and/or shower rooms and two additional WCs. The barn conversion also has a huge mezzanine which could be partitioned into separate rooms. Each side has a fully equipped kitchen/dining/sitting room and 1 bedroom and a bathroom on the ground floor.
The whole is surrounded by lovingly-developed gardens both decorative and productive. The attached fields (4.9ha) are a mix of hay meadow and grazing offering an idyllic environment for horses, ducks and hens. There are stables, workshops, garages and other outbuildings.
This is a rare chance, view today!

Discuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
To arrange a callback, please email in-confidence@beauxvillages.com
