The house
Built 30 years ago, the house has many lovely features including a full length conservatory which has fabulous views of the countryside and has the benefit of extending the summer. Our house consists of a newly installed kitchen, a lounge / dining room, 3 double bedrooms, a new bathroom with toilet and a separate new toilet room. The house lends itself to being easily extended into the attic, where you could achieve a further two or three bedrooms. There is also a patio area outside of the conservatory, with a south-facing garden. The house has storage heaters and a log burning fire for the winter months. There is a new septic tank and a new water heater that has been installed to serve both the house and the barn. There is a 10m x 4m heated pool at the back of the house with steps going up to it from the drive and the area surrounding the pool has been paved. There is also a utility room under the house plumbed for washing machines, dryers. Also there is a wine cellar, a garage and a room with possibility for converting into a games room! Overall the house is exceptionally well built and very easy to maintain and can be locked up safely awaiting your next return.
The second small house is in
original stone typical of the area, and in need of total renovation but with
imagination and hard work this could make a really gorgeous house with wonderful
views.
Barn
The barn is built in block and has been partially renovated downstairs with two rooms, a shower room and a toilet with its own separate water heater. This can be converted into gites or can be left to use as a party room or a hobby room, maybe an art studio, or pottery studio.
The land
It really is a wonderful, peaceful situation. The views here are fabulous ! There are approximately 2 acres of land consisting of meadows and garden. Most of the land has a slight gradient being on a hillside. At the top of our property our neighbours run a pony club which is great fun for children.
Life
This house would make a fabulous permanent residence or an excellent holiday home. If you are looking to move here permanently rural France is like going back in time, it's relaxed, quiet and safe. The health service is second to none and they also have an excellent education system. The locals are friendly and we have been made very welcome. We're far enough south to have a better climate, but not so far as to sacrifice grazing!
