Property Description:
This lovely villa has been completely refurbished to a very high standard, allowing the purchaser to simply move in and enjoy Provencal life. There is also a separate guesthouse that can easily be let for additional income or kept for family and friends.
A beautiful, large pool separates the two houses and the entire property extends to 5500 sq m including both lawn and wooded areas.
The villa has an impressive lounge (50 sq m) with a large, open fireplace and two sets of French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the huge front garden with its magnificent trees. Adjoining the lounge is a dining room (24 sq m) with an archway through to the kitchen. The hand-built kitchen has black granite worktops and an integrated dishwasher. The large family bathroom (10.5 sq m) includes a deluxe shower, roll-top bath, vanity unit and Italian tiling.
The villa has 3 bedrooms, the main one (16 sq m) having an en-suite toilet and hand-basin in the smaller of the 2 towers. The larger of the two towers, just off the lounge, houses the study with phone and Internet points.
Downstairs is a further bedroom with it’s own sitting room. A shower and toilet in the adjoining laundry room mean this is a useful, independent guest suite if needed. There is also a children’s playroom (20 sq m) and an adult’s playroom (30 sq m) with ample space for a table-tennis table. Also downstairs are the boiler room and a large storage area.
