Property Information
Peaceful and Idyllic are the words that describe this beautiful farm situated in the sleepy hamlet of Authon-Ebeon. The house dates from 1621 and was originally the main property in the village. It is a large comfortable three storied house set in a private courtyard. Only the ground floor and first floor are currently in use with the top floor still a blank canvas for more bedrooms if the new owner would like to expand the existing accommodation. The grounds are quite extensive including a walled garden and an enclosed field suitable for children to play in. It has lovely views over the countryside with a number of fruit trees, it is therefore the perfect place to relax and unwind.
One of the barns surrounding the courtyard has been recently renovated to a high standard and now offers three double bedrooms. Rented together the two properties will sleep up to 16 guests plus a baby.
The heated swimming pool is situated in a shared walled garden. The pool is 9 metres by 6 metres with a uniform depth of 1.25cm and is set within a terrace.
The property has a lot of potential to expand, there is a range of other buildings that would be very suitable for further accommodation if the new owners wanted to open a gites business or a bed and breakfast. The present owners have owned the property for the past 19 years and as their family have grown up, the property is now redundant as the family vacation home.
