Through decorative wrought iron gates and hidden down a privately hedged driveway, this beautiful and thoughtfully-designed French Provincial-style retreat opens to surprising, never-to-be-built-out rural views. Designed around passive solar principles, it opens to a perfect northerly aspect and is surrounded by garden rooms that provide complete privacy and joyful seasonal colour and interest. The luxurious bedrooms, stunning kitchen, dining and living areas and a wonderful sunroom with multiple sets of French doors to exterior entertaining are simply perfection. As neighbouring cattle or horses wander past, your half-acre country house feels completely removed from the hustle and bustle, but is close to all the amenities and right on the exclusive northern edge of town.
