Exterior
There is a store room/former stable (50m2) to the side of the kitchen. External stone steps lead up to the first floor. Two storey stone structure to the side formerly a cave with arched entrance which is attached to the neighbouring property also has potential for renovation. The wine was made in this area using the vines on the property.

Hangar

Located on the other side of the house from the cottage, the open fronted stone built hangar with a tiled roof measures 60m2 overall and has a concrete floor, door to rear lobby, oil tank for the boiler and a block built workshop with work bench, cupboards and hot water cylinder.

Stone Barn

Situated opposite the old house and alongside the large stone built well which is working today, there is a further two storey stone built barn under a slate roof which is presently divided up into a number of rooms used for storage. The rooms measure 35m2 in total with a loft over as well. Great scope for conversion.

The gardens

The gardens are located on three sides of the house and extend in all to about 2884m2 with a gravelled driveway and parking for several vehicles and comprise lawns with various mature trees, a terrace at the rear with access to the recently installed small plunge pool which measures about 4m x 3m and a further area of lawn down to the stone wall which separates the garden from the surrounding pastureland and the neighbour. There are lovely views over the surrounding parkland.

A short distance from the house on then edge of the village, there is a separate block of land with about 200 vines which has produced about 600 li of red wine in the recent past. A project for you viticulteurs out there!!

A further parcel of land of about 1310m2 is located a bit further away from the property.
