Outstanding Courtyard Manor Set In 32-Hectare Estate
Believed to be Knights Templar in origin and previously designated a site classé, the strategic location and fully enclosed courtyard afford a high degree of privacy and protection. The property has light-filled rooms with grand architectural features including dressed stone detailing, copper rainwater goods, solid oak windows, high-grade joinery with internal shutters, double glazing and a stone staircase rising to a galleried landing leading to 4 spacious bedrooms.
The main house has been skillfully updated and the former farm buildings were converted in 2013. Heating in the main house is by a high specification woodchip burner that can run exclusively off estate timber, with solar panels for hot water.
Competition size, all-weather tennis court beside an orchard area. Heated swimming pool with jacuzzi, sauna and entertaining pool pavilion with panoramic views.
The estate is a haven for wildlife and flora with a meandering stream and many delightful woodland avenues and a total absence of light pollution. Wildlife includes owls, deer and wild boar, red squirrels, birdlife and several varieties of edible mushrooms.
Besides the two additional bedrooms in the courtyard buildings, a luxury guest house offers 5 further bedrooms attached to a 2-bedroom caretakers’ cottage with further garages and workshop. Down the valley a contemporary barn of approx. 330 m² for estate machinery.
The whole estate has proven in the past to generate a great rental income.
