In Detail…
The house is situated down a quiet country lane, with astonishing views of mountains and forests.

There are beautiful mature gardens around both houses with views of the mountains, forests and countryside. This truly is a little bit of paradise in a tranquil setting yet only minutes away from the main town with all necessary amenities.

The cobbled paved drive leads you down to the main house. On the left, as you drive down, are solar panels and housing for the batteries and equipment, along with a workshop. There is ample parking along with a double garage. You enter the house into a large open entrance with terracotta tiles throughout. Two steps lead up to the two very spacious double bedrooms both ensuite with walk-in wardrobes. The lounge is very spacious and bright from the many double windows and glass doors leading out to the wrap-around balcony with views over the lake and countryside. The wood burner also heats the radiators. The downstairs WC is located next to the stairs. Double French doors lead to the dining room with double glass doors leading to an outside patio area, overlooking the countryside and swimming pool area. There are steps leading down to the exquisite mature garden with further seating areas throughout. The very spacious family kitchen is off the dining room with ample storage, a dining table with benches and chairs, a laundry room with large pantry and the entrance to the double garage. This area is definitely not short on space. The kitchen also has a door leading outside to the front of the house making another entrance.

Wooden stairs lead you upstairs to a beautiful landing/living room area. To the right is a bedroom currently used as an office with doors leading out to a small Juliette balcony overlooking the lake and countryside. To the left is a very large bedroom with ensuite. The dining and living rooms have underfloor heating, along with a wood burner in the living room. The bedrooms and bathrooms have radiators.

The house benefits from winter sun due to its south facing position. The windows and outer doors are made of hardwood and all windows are double glazed.

Steps from the large balcony and outdoor area lead down to the mature garden and pool area where there is further storage on the ground level and a games room by the swimming pool. These extra storage rooms could easily be converted in further bedrooms if needed. The garden is tiered to make some very interesting areas, along with a mature vegetable patch with asparagus and other local vegetables. There are many fruit trees, including kiwi, apple, pear, citrus and many more local varieties throughout the property.
