There is a formal garden area to the side of the house, with borders & a range of ornamental trees & shrubs, a lawned area behind the outbuildings & further large lawned areas behind the house, to each side of the rear drive & with an area which used to be a large pond.
This is a lovely house in a rural location & would be ideal as a large family home or for a Bed & Breakfast (Chambre d’hote) business (the current British owners have had some bookings though they have never realised the full potential of the site). There is also the potential to convert the barn into Gite accommodation (subject to the necessary permissions, which should be easily obtained).
