Background
This historic estate has roots dating back to 1307, where timeless elegance meets modern luxury. Originally developed in the early 1800s, this distinguished property has undergone thoughtful renovations that seamlessly blend period charm and contemporary comfort.
Kitchen & Utility
Step into the heart of the home, where the kitchen exudes classic warmth with its traditional units, wooden work surfaces, and tastefully tiled flooring. A striking dark green Aga takes centre stage, accompanied by an inset electric oven and integrated appliances, including a wine fridge. The adjacent utility room offers additional wood-accented units and convenient space for appliances.
Reception Rooms
As you explore the main residence, three exquisite reception rooms to the rear beckon, providing a southern exposure and captivating sea views across meticulously manicured gardens. The principal living room boasts a unique spiral staircase leading to a mezzanine library, while an impressive conservatory with tiled flooring and French doors opens to the rear grounds.
Bedrooms & Bathrooms
Ascend the gracious staircase to discover five generously proportioned bedrooms spanning the first and second floors, each accompanied by its own impeccably fitted bathroom suite. The epitome of refined living awaits within these walls.
Annexe
An attached annexe, arranged across two levels, features a modern kitchen with a breakfast bar, a cozy sitting room adorned with an inviting open fireplace, and a double bedroom with a luxurious ensuite bathroom.
Outside
Externally, the former stables have been artfully repurposed into two car ports and a spacious storage room. Wrought iron gates open to a grand front paved driveway, providing ample parking and leading to the front of the property and the converted stables.
Gardens
The estate's enchanting gardens, a true highlight, showcase formal landscaped areas with sweeping lawns, vibrant shrubs, plants, and majestic trees that paint the landscape with colour throughout the seasons. A paved sun terrace offers a perfect vantage point to soak in the garden vista, stretching down the valley with views to the sea. Discover an ornamental pond with a storied history dating back to the 1300s, and on the eastern side, a bountiful orchard awaits with numerous fruit trees.
