Large countryside property
EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES!
Behind antique gates and beyond a former gatehouse lies this enchanting 4/5-bedroom country property, approached by a circular driveway framed by vine-covered ruins of once-grand historic buildings. Full of charm, character, and atmosphere, this is a truly unique home set in a peaceful and private environment.
The main entrance opens into a spacious and beautifully styled open-plan kitchen and dining room, the heart of the home and perfect for entertaining. From here, a pantry, shower room with WC, and an office or optional fifth bedroom lead off, along with access to a delightful courtyard. A staircase from the kitchen rises to an impressive upstairs living room, while the kitchen also flows naturally into a bright south-facing lounge and dining room, both enjoying wonderful views across the terrace, gardens, and orchard.
The original winding staircase leads to the first floor, where two generous south-facing bedrooms and the family bathroom enjoy far-reaching countryside views. The landing continues through to the large upper living room, also accessible via the kitchen staircase. From this space, you’ll find a third bedroom complete with a balcony overlooking one of the property’s tranquil courtyards.
On the second floor, a fourth bedroom offers even more potential, featuring an unfinished en-suite bathroom and a dressing room ready to be completed to your own taste.
Outside, the property continues to impress with its terrace, mature gardens, orchard, and adjoining field. An outdoor kitchen and a large covered dining area with a studio above create the perfect setting for long summer evenings and entertaining family and friends. Several outbuildings, including the old gatehouse, complete this exceptional property.

Opening Hours
Monday to Friday 9am - 12pm, 2pm-6pmDiscuss 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.
