Property Description

Our ref- AI4222
This magnificent 8 bedroom house is set in over an acre of private walled gardens. As you drive through the Stone pillared, gated entrance the imposing house is to the right. To left is the Gate keepers cottage hidden amongst the trees and attached at the back of this is another cottage to update. To the back of the main house a gravel path leads to the beautiful stone built Orangery. Across the lawn from here and you have the secluded Swimming pool. The orchard can be found, at the very back of the gardens, via an archway in the trees and down some stone steps. There is a path from the orchard, that takes you past the tennis court and back through the trees up to the house. It is hard to believe that ALL this tranquility! is situated off a side street, in the centre of the historic town of Melle. Where you will find all commerce, for your daily life within walking distance.
