Substantial four-bedroom village house formed from two properties, with former bakery and attic

This substantial 180 m² domestic property was created by combining two adjoining village houses and was formerly home to a bakery. Requiring complete refurbishment and modernisation, it offers adaptable ground-floor rooms, four bedrooms, a large corner room overlooking the square and an easily accessible attic. The property could become a sizeable family home or combine residential accommodation with retail, studio or professional space.

Situated in the centre of Sos, this substantial corner property was created by combining two adjoining village houses into one domestic home. Its size, multiple entrances and flexible internal arrangement provide considerably more possibilities than its former commercial appearance might initially suggest.

The building was once used as a bakery. The ground floor retains the former shop, preparation and kitchen areas and the original bread oven, providing an interesting reminder of the property’s history.

Although this level could potentially be reused as a shop, studio, workshop or other professional premises, subject to the necessary permissions, it could equally be incorporated fully into the house. The former shop and bakery rooms could be reorganised to create additional sitting and dining rooms, a large family kitchen, an office, games room or ground-floor accommodation.

The ground floor also includes an entrance, a shower room and a separate WC. Several street-facing entrances reflect the fact that the building was originally two separate properties and could be useful when planning a new internal arrangement.

The principal accommodation is arranged on the upper floors. One of the property’s most notable rooms occupies the corner of the building and has three sets of windows overlooking the village square. Its multiple aspects bring in abundant natural light and provide open views across the centre of Sos. The room opens onto a usable balcony and could become an impressive principal bedroom, main sitting room or combined living and dining room.

The upper floors also include a domestic kitchen and four bedrooms.

Above the principal accommodation is a substantial attic level, reached easily by the internal staircase. It comprises an additional room and further loft space, providing useful storage and offering further conversion potential, subject to the necessary works and permissions.

A cellar is situated beneath the house.

The property requires complete refurbishment and modernisation throughout, including its services, heating and internal decoration. However, the principal structure is understood to be sound, providing a solid basis from which a new owner could reorganise and restore the property.

Its adaptable layout could provide a large family home, a holiday property, a house with independent working or commercial space, or potentially more than one residential unit, subject to the appropriate approvals.

There is no garden to maintain. Although the property has no private parking, free public parking is readily available nearby.

The diagnostic dossier states that the property is not subject to a DPE because it did not have a fixed heating system at the time of inspection.
