Description

A22220NOE61 - Entering the house with a space for the home office (12m2) this leads into the dining room (18m2) that has an open fireplace and period tiling. There are French double doors to access the garden, doorway to kitchen and access to living room and a wet room with shower, toilet and handbasin. The living room (48m2) still needs work to finish off. Entering the kitchen (34m2) with period tommettes, there is a beautiful original normandie cheminee fireplace, with double French glass doors leading to the garden.

Ascending the stairs to the first floor you will find four bedrooms – two tandem bedrooms to the right of the stairs (17m2, 14m2) where the second bedroom contains a bidet and handbasin. Left of the stairs are the other two tandem bedrooms (20m2, 35m2) each with their own bathroom (5m2, 6m2). There is access to the attic that could be turned into further space/bedrooms.

Adjoining the farmhouse is the central heating room (21m2) which is oil fuelled heating, and space to use as storage. On the other side of the path adjoining the huge 19 century barn is a wood storage shed. The period brick barn is the ‘piece de resistance’ built around 1900 from carrouge brick, and split over three levels you could have a bed and breakfast hotel, or gite apartments. The ground floor is currently split into 3 pieces (104m2, 61m2 7m2) with a total surface area of 172m2. Stairs to the first floor has three parts as well (30m2, 105m2 67m2) for a total area of 202m2. The second floor has 105m2 surface area.

The land is spacious just under one and half hectares that has an established apple orchard of 46 trees of five varieties for eating and cider. There are two wells on the ancient farmstead, and a natural pond. At the top end of the land there is a ruined columbage building with a stunning normandie cheminee split into two parts (17m2, 34m2) that could be restored/renovated into another habitat, or would be brilliant as an orangerie.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
