The Property This modern, quality built farmhouse was constructed in 1977/1978 for a French farming family. It was cleverly designed to have the main living room, kitchen and bedrooms on the upper floor to gain the views over the undulating parkland, formerly owned by the local Chateau. The present owners who are English, hoped to pass their business over to their family. This did not work out and they have now become grandparents, which has made them decide to stay in the UK. The owners have over the last 4 years spent their time modernising the house. They have made the following improvements:- Laid on Mains water to the house Installed a new kitchen Installed a new bathroom Completely redecorated. Erected new stables. Cleared away an old barn. The property could be ideal for an equestrian buyer owing to the large modern barns which could be used to create an indoor riding school, and the newly installed stables.
