Description
A noteworthy feature on the premises is an efficient well equipped with an electric pump for irrigating the garden and replenishing the pool. The former Priory comprises a basement, accessed by a perron leading to a spacious living area on the first floor with a tiled floor. While this area has undergone roof replacement and certain structural enhancements, considerable renovation is needed before considering it habitable, subject to requisite planning consent.
The garden exhibits diverse facets, providing numerous options for outdoor dining or sitting areas. Abundant mature trees, expansive lawns, and a terrace on the north side with a valley view contribute to a private, tranquil atmosphere with a touch of magic. The total land encompasses approximately 1.23 hectares (3 acres).
