Description

A48544JLB82 - Set within approximately 3.5 hectares of mature gardens, parkland and woodland, this beautiful country property brings together two very different homes, a swimming pool, terraces and a traditional barn. A short approach lined with olive trees provides a lovely welcome, while the established trees and gardens give the property a peaceful, private atmosphere.

The real attraction is the combination of a beautifully converted barn, offering contemporary country living, and a substantial traditional farmhouse with wonderful potential as an independent gîte. Together, the two houses provide approximately 500 m² of living accommodation and nine bedrooms, allowing owners to enjoy their own home while welcoming holiday guests, friends or extended family.

**THE MAIN HOUSE – CONVERTED BARN (approximately 225 m²)**

The former agricultural barn has been thoughtfully transformed into a spacious, light-filled home where modern design sits comfortably within the original building.

The living accommodation is particularly appealing. Large glazed doors open towards the garden, bringing in natural light and allowing the interior and exterior spaces to connect beautifully. The generous living room is complemented by a separate kitchen and dining area, designed with the help of a specialist German kitchen company. A large panoramic window looks out across the grounds towards the woodland, creating a lovely outlook from the dining table.

The kitchen is both stylish and sociable, with a breakfast bar where family or friends can sit and chat while meals are being prepared. Travertine flooring runs throughout the ground floor, giving the different spaces a pleasing sense of continuity.

Two additional ground-floor rooms are currently used as an office and a creative workspace but could equally become bedrooms. Plumbing connections have already been provided in one of these rooms to allow for the possible creation of an en-suite bathroom, offering flexibility for a growing family or anyone wishing to accommodate guests on the ground floor.

A generous utility room provides practical space away from the main living areas, alongside a shower room with WC and a sauna.

Upstairs, timber flooring brings warmth to the bedrooms. There are two double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an impressive main suite with its own dressing area and bathroom, which includes a hammam shower. The layout offers both comfortable family accommodation and spaces where everyone can enjoy a little privacy.

The main house benefits from reversible air-to-air heating and cooling, supplementing the comfort of its generous, well-designed living spaces.

**THE ORIGINAL FARMHOUSE – GUEST HOUSE / POTENTIAL GÎTE (approximately 275 m²)**

The original farmhouse has a completely different character. Exposed beams, traditional terracotta floors, high ceilings and wood-burning stoves create the inviting atmosphere of a French country home.

With its own kitchen, four bedrooms, bathrooms and several reception rooms, it has all the space needed to function as a substantial independent gîte or holiday rental, subject to the necessary requirements. For anyone considering a lifestyle change or a property with potential supplementary income, the ability to live in one house and offer the other as holiday accommodation is a particularly attractive possibility.

On the ground floor, a traditional central corridor leads to a series of generously proportioned rooms. There is a comfortable living room with a wood-burning stove, a second reception room with another stove, a separate dining room and a playroom. These different spaces could easily accommodate families or groups of friends, giving guests somewhere to spend time together as well as quieter rooms in which to relax.

The kitchen retains a lovely country feel, combining traditional beams with modern conveniences. A utility room, pantry and separate WC complete the ground-floor accommodation.

Upstairs are four double bedrooms, including a particularly spacious bedroom and another with its own en-suite shower room and mezzanine. A family bathroom with shower, double washbasin and WC serves the remaining bedrooms.

The farmhouse benefits from double-glazed windows chosen to complement its traditional appearance, along with oil-fired central heating and wood-burning stoves.

Whether used for holiday guests, visiting family or multigenerational living, the farmhouse has the advantage of being a complete second home rather than simply an annexe.

**GARDENS, PARKLAND, POOL AND OUTBUILDINGS**

The grounds deserve just as much attention as the houses. Extending to 35,178 m², they combine established gardens, mature trees, parkland and natural woodland, providing an attractive setting with plenty of privacy and space to enjoy the outdoors.

The swimming pool is a lovely focal point during the warmer months, with space for sun loungers and a covered seating area where you can retreat from the afternoon sun.

Two terraces provide opportunities for outdoor dining and quiet moments in the garden. With the different buildings and outside spaces, there is plenty of scope for guests and owners to enjoy their own corners of the property.

Beyond the more formal garden, the woodland has been allowed to retain much of its natural character, attracting wildlife including deer and foxes. It creates a wonderful contrast to the neatly maintained areas around the houses and pool.

An additional traditional barn offers valuable storage and scope for other uses, subject to any necessary permissions. There is also covered parking for two cars, a well and useful space for storing garden and pool equipment.

The setting is peaceful without feeling isolated, with a small rural community nearby.

With two substantial and independent houses, a pool, extensive grounds and the possibility of running a gîte alongside a private residence, this is a property that offers much more than space alone. It is equally suited to families wanting room for everyone, buyers hoping to welcome holiday guests or those looking for a different pace of life in the French countryside.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
