About
Steeped in history and dating back to the 1830s, this striking three bedroom home presents a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained village residence that has remained in the same family ownership since the 1950s.
Originally serving as the village bakery, the property retains a wealth of charming period features, blending character and heritage with a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Enjoying superb far-reaching views across rolling countryside, vineyards and towards the picturesque village as far as the church, this is a home that truly embraces its idyllic setting.
Lovingly cared for over the years but now in need of some updating, it offers an exciting blank canvas for those wishing to create their dream home while preserving its timeless appeal.
Adding to its exceptional potential is a substantial flint walled barn, offering exciting scope for conversion, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
Outside, generous gardens bordered by mature hedging and colourful flower beds provide a peaceful sanctuary, perfectly positioned to take in the breathtaking views.
Two garages and potential ample off-road parking complete this wonderful property, making it an exceptional opportunity to enjoy the charm of village life in a truly enchanting setting.
