Anne Rice, Independent Agent, says: | | Set in a very peaceful location, this property is actually on the edge of a very small town, but is just like it was in the countryside. FABULOUS SPACIOUS FAMILY HOME, with stone barns that could be converted to make separate cottage or gite. The main house has a sitting room, large dining kitchen and a further large room that would make a wonderful dining room. All the rooms have high ceilings. There is a bathroom and separate toilet and an adjoining room that would make an excellent spacious bathroom. There is a large room with vast fireplace which would be ideal as an additional sitting room. This could be used as part of the main house or as independent accommodation as there is a very spacious grenier above. There is also a cave (wine store), workshop/store room. Stables with three boxes and loose box, barn and two open barns, one used as a garage. There is a lovely garden with vegetable plot. Gravel drive and metal gates. The property has electricity, mains water and septic tank. | GROUND FLOOR
Sitting room with tomettes (quarry tiles) and open fireplace. Leads to a further room which is currently divided in two, but would easily convert back into one large room. This also has a fireplace with marble mantle. The dining kitchen has tiled floor and external door leading to garden. Bathroom with bath, washbasin and separate toilet.
From here, you enter into a small room which could be an inner hallway, then into a vast room with beams and huge open fireplace and external door leading to garden. This would make a beautiful sitting room. Above this room is a large grenier with tomettes on the floor. Could be converted into a large ensuite bedroom. This part of the house could be used as independant living accommodation either for your family or guests, or to let as a cottage.
FIRST FLOOR
The original oak staircase leads up to four rooms with high ceilings and exposed beams. The staircase then continues on up into the vast grenier area.
