Description:
A DRIVEWAY lined with plum trees on either side leads to this beautiful farmhouse on top of a hill with speactular vistas from almost all aspects. There are large orchards to the east and west sides of the property, cultivated farmland to the south and unobstructed views to the north for as far as they eyes can see. The property was completely renovated in 2000 and 2001. The adjoining stone barn was incorporated into the original farmhouse to create a superb layout with over 250m2 of habitable space. The property was completely rewired and plumbed at the same time. The impressive entrance hall is a good-sized, bright space of about 25m. To the left of the entrance hall is a doorway leading to the kitchen of about 30m2 with separate dining area. The kitchen has been very tastefully decorated. All kitchen fixtures are included in the sale of the property. Through the kitchen a patio door leads to a fantastic covered terrace, built in 2001, of about 36m2. The wooden frame of the terrace has been done in the traditional style and is the perfect place to eat in warm weather with lovely views to the south. Also leading off the entrace hall on the west side of the house is the main lounge. This room is a very spacious 40m2 with a woodburning fireplace as the focal point. There are views to the west and patio doors lead out onto the same covered terrace as the kitchen. On the north side of the entrance hall is a corridor with a room off to the left of about 33m2 that's currently used as an office but could equally serve as a further bedroom, games or family room. It's a very bright room with four panel patio doors and attractive arched window, originally an entrance to the barn. Further down the corridor to the right is the master suite. Again, from here there are great views to the north. The master bedroom is a spacious 20m2 with adjoining shower room of 5m2 which contains shower, sink, toilet and bidet. There is a second, separate toiliet and sink. Another room of around 10m2, currently being decorated and counted as a bedroom, would make a perfect dressing room to the master suite to make it complete. There is also a space with several wardrobes off the master bedroom. A beautiful hardwood staircase leads to the first floor, pine boarded, landing and corridor. The second bedroom is about 22m2, very bright with views to the north. Along the corridor is a toilet and bathroom of about 4.5m2 with bath, bidet and sink. Further along the corridor are another two guest bedrooms of about 9m2 each. At the end of the corridor is a room of about 27.5m2 with the original, exposed stone walls and beamed celing with little to do to convert it to a further en-suite bedroom. The wood floor is in perfect condition. Overall, the layout of the house is extremely practical with all the living (kitchen, dining, lounge) on one end of the house and accomodation on the other. Outside there are several mature garden areas around the property planted with a wide variety of trees and shrubs including a kitchen garden with a constant supply of fresh herbs. There is a well in the garden in front of the main entrance. An open sided barn of about 14m x 12m makes a perfect storage area but could, of course, also be converted into accomodation. A 25m2 garage with inspection pit which also has a wine cellar underneath it. The garden to the south of the property is sloping but the currect owners have commissioned an architect to design a terraced garden with roman steps from the summer terrace at the back of the house down to a swimming pool on the second tier. The plans are available to view on request. This is an immaculate property in a calm, tranquil environment. A must see.
