As you step through the front door, the welcoming entrance hallway (8,6 m2), which almost splits the property in two, leads you to the living room (90 m2), featuring a cosy ambiance with a fireplace with wood burner, ideal for relaxation. From here, you have easy access to the terrace, offering great views of the village and the serene countryside.
Also on this side of the property, you will find the first of two master suites (37,5 m2) with a dressing room (11,5 m2) and en suite bathroom (8 m2), as well as the lift, cleverly connecting the different floors in this property.
The grand staircase stands as a focal point, guiding you to the upper two floors of the house where there are 3 more bedrooms in total (32 m2, 23 m2 and 21 m2), one with an en suite bathroom (4,2 m2) and an additional family bathroom (7,45 m2). All rooms have stunning views either over the countryside or the village.
Back to the ground floor again, with, on the other side of the hallway, a generously sized kitchen (15,5 m2) with an adjacent dining area (49 m2), perfect for family meals and social gatherings.
The second master bedroom suite (26 m2) is also located on this side of the property, also with a generous en suite bathroom (10,75 m2).
Descending to the lower level reveals another imposing living area/library (71 m2) that includes a grand fireplace and beautiful built-in library shelves. The library adds a touch of sophistication, creating a cosy sanctuary for quiet evenings and gatherings. It was one of Mr W.’s favourite rooms, with direct access to his private music studio (40 m2). The music studio also has an exterior door. Walking down the little alley, you would never have guessed the music treasures and gold and platinum records that were hidden behind that solid but simple wooden door !
