Charming French Cottage with annex and south-facing garden with orchard

• Large South facing garden with orchard
• Situated in a peaceful Hamlet
• Double Glazed
• New Fosse

When you arrive at this property, in a quiet hamlet, you are greeted by bird song. As you enter the garden through the gates at the side gravelled drive you arrive in a large beautiful south facing garden adorned with wonderful trees. The garden has been cleverly sectioned into two, the first half a well manicured easy to maintain area to relax and enjoy a chilled glass of wine, either in full sun for the sun worshipers or under the shade of the jasmine covered pergola, for those seeking shade. Through ornate gates is a large lawned area, that the owner currently has as a wild flower meadow, this could be the perfect home for donkeys! There’s an array of fruit trees, that prove very fruitful, as well as a vegetable plot. There’s a summer kitchen perfect for BBQ’s on those balmy summer’s evenings. The outside of the property is well maintained. With the Provence sage shutters adding yet more French charm.

On entering the property you arrive in the kitchen, which has been partially opened up to the large, light filled vintage style dining room with stone floors and open fireplace. To the rear of the kitchen is a large pantry and utility room. As you enter the property, to the left is a convenient boot room, leading to the bathroom with shower and WC.

Through from the dining room you enter a hall, with a hand crafted wooden spiral staircase. At the end of the hall is a bookcase wall, leading to a cute reading nook with day bed. This would also make a great guest bedroom or study area. The other side of the hall is a large light filled bohemian chic style living room which is worthy of being in a home style magazine. At the back of the room is a beautiful large fitted bookcase, there’s an open fireplace and a large window views out to the garden.

As you make your way up the spiral staircase there is a small galleried landing. The upstairs has 3 bedrooms, one very large and two that are good sizes doubles, although by removing the stud wall, you could have two very large bedrooms.

Part of the charm of French farm houses of this age, are the low wooden beams, here they have been thoughtfully placed just inside the doorways, so not impact the head space once inside the rooms. At the back of the larger bedroom is a door leading to a large room, currently housing the water boiler, this could potentially be converted into a large en-suite bathroom.

Accessed via the garage is a self contained annex, which can also be accessed from a private door outside. The ground floor is currently set up as an art studio and lounge area and upstairs a bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with bath and toilet.

The property also has a good size barn, garden shed and cellar. The property benefits from double glazed windows, gas central heating and a new fosse.
