Auvergne, Allier, Treignat, France

This fantastic renovated house, set in the heart of a quiet village is in walk-in condition and comes complete with its own water supply through a filtration system and vast array of solar panels to the east, south and west so you can pretty much live off grid. It boasts double glazing throughout and is well insulated and warm.

The house has a large open-plan lounge and dining area which leads to the modern, family sized kitchen with ample room for a table and chairs to cater for the larger family. 5 bedrooms, tastefully decorated, are all of a very good size, larger than the average, and a modern bathroom and second shower room complement the living areas.

The property faces east and comes with a good-sized, yet manageable garden, where there is an above ground swimming pool, covered terrace and numerous outbuildings.

To one side of the garden a large workshop/garage which would suit an artisan for commercial/ storage purposes, or with the correct permissions or planning, could be easily converted into a second residence.

There is also a second garage, with up and over door, which has its own entrance.

For lovers of Thai food there is a Thai restaurant not 5 minutes walk away
