Entering in via the original hallway with wood scroll panelling and original parquet flooring, which gives access to all the principal ground floor rooms which are south-facing, flooding the home with natural light and framing picturesque views of the garden and surrounding countryside.
Main Salon (27m²) – A warm and inviting space with original fireplace, parquet flooring, and direct access to the garden—perfect for relaxed evenings or entertaining.
Study/Second Lounge (14m²) – Featuring original tommette tiles and an ornamental fireplace, ideal as a home office or quiet retreat.
Dining Room (22m²) – Light-filled and spacious, showcasing exposed beams, original fireplace, tiled floors, and garden access.
Modern Kitchen (21m²) – Fully fitted and thoughtfully designed, with a picture window to the front and direct access to the rear garden.
Adjacent to the kitchen are two practical utility spaces: a pantry/laundry room on one side and a large storage/laundry room on the other.
From the entrance hall an original staircase leads to a bright, airy corridor that serves the first-floor rooms:
Master Bedroom (19m²) – A light and spacious room with dual-aspect windows offering panoramic views, parquet flooring, and an en-suite with shower, double basin, and WC.
Second Bedroom (14m²) – Cosy and comfortable, overlooking the garden and pool.
A dressing/storage room sits between the bedrooms.
A well-appointed independent bathroom includes a bath, shower, basin, and WC.
A discreet door from the first floor opens to a staircase leading to the expansive attic, which spans the entire footprint of the house—offering potential to create additional living space if required, subject to permission.
Annexe with Private and Internal Access
Perfect for guests, extended family, or potential rental use, the annexe can be accessed both independently from the garden and internally from the main living quarters.
On the ground floor, a generous storage room (15m²) with original fireplace and doors to both front and rear gardens offers excellent potential to be transformed into a charming living area with a corner kitchen.
Upstairs, there are three bedrooms (10m², 9.5m², and 9m²), two of which feature bespoke wood internal shutters and beautiful views over the garden and pool.
A modern bathroom with shower, basin, and WC completes the space.
Outside
Nestled within beautifully landscaped gardens, the home enjoys a large terrace ideal for al fresco dining and a good size swimming pool, 10m x 5m, which has a retracting cover, pool house and boiler room close by, all set against the backdrop of rolling countryside. Adding to the charm is a small, enchanting wood alley which was the original pathway from the Priory to the church, a peaceful retreat that completes this idyllic setting.
