Grimaud/Cogolin, Provencal 3 bedroom villa with swimming pool.

Provencal Villa of 3 bedrooms with a swimming pool on a plot of around 2006m2.You enter at the upper level into the first reception room with a traditional fireplace this leads to a dining room which is linked to a fully equipped fitted kitchen. There is then a sun room and a massive reception room with Swedish fireplace as well as an office/3rd bedroom. A guest shower room with toilet is also on this level.

Downstairs you have an intermediate level which can provide a guest sleeping area. You then get to the 2nd bedroom which links to the bathroom and on into the main bedroom. There are many storage areas within the house and it has been a popular rental property. There is a self-contained studio which is in the process of being regularised.

This is a really interesting property with a very unusual layout, so you really need to see it on the ground to appreciate it. However once you do, you'll love the individuality.

Location in France

The prosperous Var department is located in the most extreme south-easterly point in France and has an unsurpassable climate, except in early spring when the heavy showers arrive.
Toulon is the departmental capital of the Var with a population of over 160,000. It has the biggest harbour in mainland Europe, and France's Mediterranean navy fleet use the city as its base. Toulon is a historic centre in many ways, and its attractive old streets are host to many ancient buildings and hidden historic corners. The town also has a lively cultural scene, the highlight of which is the fantastic local opera company. The hills that look over the town and onto the sea have a number of great houses, villas and apartments.
The city of Toulon was damaged severely during the Second World War giving the centre a very different atmosphere to its neighbours on the coastline.
To the east of the Var you'll find the town of Hyeres, which is a great blend of both Provence and Cote d'Azur culture. There are few other places that offer exotic palm trees on a sun-soaked coast together with a medieval old town and other historical interests - imagine spending your holidays here!
The very famous St-Tropez is a stunning town architecturally and is celebrated for its glamorous lifestyle. It has a population of just 6000 in the low season, but as the temperature increases for the summer months the population explodes!
Further up the coastline and you'll come across the tourist resorts of Frejus and St-Raphael with their stretching sandy beaches and Roman remains. Not to be missed is Port-Grimaud. Built along a network of canals, the city bears a striking resemblance to the Italian city of Venice. The city is very attractive, although the top prize goes to Bargeme, which is widely acknowledged as one of the prettiest villages in the whole of France.
Both EasyJet and GB Airways fly to Toulon from Gatwick. If you'd rather avoid flying, however, you could take a Rail Europe service from London Waterloo all the way to Toulon.
Property prices in the Var remain high thanks to the popularity of the region and the proximity to the Mediterrannean coast. However, for investors, they have the advantage of a strong rental market to make a return on your investment. As expected, properties get slightly cheaper the further inland you delve.
