Opening into a grand entrance hall, to the left is an elegant formal salle a manger, easily accommodating a table for 14 plus. The vast, modern kitchen is down a shallow flight of stairs, and the 2 rooms together provide a wonderful open aspect for dining and entertaining. The kitchen is temperature-controlled for comfort whatever the weather. To the right of the hallway are 4 further sitting rooms, the ones to the rear having access to the beautiful rear terraces. Of these 4, there is one with a small corner kitchen installed - ideal for guests or staff. Also accessed from the hallway and down a few steps is a fully equipped vestiaire with WC, and further steps lead down to the basement level, which provides a laundry room and plenty of storage.
Back to the main entrance and up the stunning original staircase to the first floor, where there are 4 exquisite bedrooms (1 en-suite) and a family bathroom. There is also a large roof terrace accessed from the first floor.
On the top floor are 3 further bedrooms (1 en-suite), and a family bathroom in the Jack and Jill style which is shared by the other 2 bedrooms (ideal for a family with young children). All the bedrooms are air-conditioned.
More guest accommodation, a separate wing indeed, is found in a converted barn area, attached to the main house and consisting of 2 distinct areas: downstairs with 2 substantial bedrooms (both en-suite), while upstairs there is a magnificent 3 bedroom apartment with a large living room and kitchen area, and a family bathroom. All bedrooms in this wing are air conditioned.
The current owner, a keen equestrian, has developed and landscaped much of the land to suit horses. The paddocks are fully fenced (mostly post and rail) and both have water points. There is a 40 x 20m menage with a Martin Collins surface. The stable yard includes 4 large stables (1 currently used as a tack room) with Monarch stable doors, and one of the new outbuildings is designated for hay, feed, and tool storage. The enclosed stable yard also has several water points. The garden areas have been thoughtfully landscaped and give superb views from all sides of the property.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
