Description
Just a short walk from a lively village with shops, restaurants, a supermarket and its weekly market, this former watermill has been transformed into an exceptional country property. A long, tree-lined driveway leads to the house, where a spacious parking area welcomes visitors on arrival.
On one side, the 5.4-hectare estate unfolds into a varied landscape of open meadows, two natural ponds and numerous mature trees. On the other, the pool house, terraces, swimming pool and several inviting seating areas create an ideal setting to enjoy the peace and beauty of the surroundings. Behind the house, an old water reservoir remains as a discreet reminder of the property's historic past.
An impressive stone staircase leads to the house. At its heart is a spacious living room centred around a Polyflam wood-burning stove, with wooden flooring and direct access to the rear terrace. The property also offers a generous kitchen, five well-proportioned bedrooms, including two on the ground floor, and four bathrooms. Original timber beams and numerous carefully preserved period features define much of the home's distinctive character.
On the lower ground floor, a large part of the original mill machinery has been preserved. The stream that once powered the mill wheel still flows beneath the building today. Several garden-level cellars complete the property, providing extensive storage space.
Between the house and the swimming pool stands a substantial stone pool house with a fully equipped summer kitchen. Thanks to its wide opening, the space can be fully opened to the outdoors, while also being enclosed when the season calls for it, allowing it to be enjoyed well beyond the summer months. A separate WC adds further convenience close to the swimming pool.
Opening onto a generous covered terrace overlooking the 6 × 12 metre pool, the pool house, terraces and swimming pool come together to create one of the finest outdoor living spaces we have had the pleasure of discovering in recent years.
The 5.4-hectare estate is largely fenced for horses. Its two natural ponds provide a haven for an abundance of wildlife, while the meadows and mature trees create a landscape whose beauty changes with every season.
An exceptional country property where the tranquillity of rural living blends effortlessly with the convenience of nearby amenities.
