Description
This exceptional property offers not just one, but two fully renovated houses, each finished to a high standard and in true move-in condition. Tastefully decorated throughout, they combine modern comfort with charming original features, making them ideal for extended family living, a holiday rental business, or a combination of both.
In addition to the two houses, there are several outbuildings with huge potential – whether for conversion into further gîtes, creating a family games or party room, or simply enjoying covered outdoor entertaining spaces. The entire property sits on 5,300m² of land with gardens, terraces, and plenty of parking.
House 1 – The Main Stone Farmhouse
Beautifully renovated, this charming stone farmhouse has been thoughtfully designed for modern family life while retaining character throughout.
Ground Floor: From the welcoming entrance hall (with guest WC), you step into a stunning open-plan living room with dining area (29m²). The fitted kitchen blends seamlessly with original features including oak beams and a central granite fireplace with wood burner – the true heart of the home.
First Floor: The spacious master bedroom (16.6m²) enjoys wooden floors and exposed beams, along with a luxurious ensuite (6.9m²) featuring a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, WC, and washbasin. A flexible 8m² office (currently used as a guest bedroom) could equally serve as a nursery, dressing room, or study. A handy utility/storage space (2.9m²) is also on this floor. Importantly, this level also houses a dedicated laundry room, meaning no carrying laundry baskets through the house – a practical and much-loved family feature.
Second Floor: Two further double bedrooms (10.2m² and 9.5m²) share a stylish modern shower room with WC (3.2m²).
Completely updated with new electrics, plumbing, heating, bathrooms, kitchen, and double glazing, this is a home ready for the next family to enjoy.
House 2 – Independent Guest or Rental House
Currently a successful AirBnB rental, this attractive single-level house provides flexible accommodation for guests, family, or rental income.
Living Spaces: A welcoming entrance hall leads to the bright living/dining room (26m²), where double doors open onto a sun-soaked terrace. A central wood burner creates a cosy focal point. The fitted kitchen (11.9m²) includes a utility area (1.5m²) with access to the exterior and the sous-sol/garage.
Bedrooms: Three comfortable double bedrooms (10.8m², 9.8m², 9.1m²) – one with direct access to the garden and side terrace – provide excellent guest accommodation.
Bathrooms: A modern shower room (5.6m²) with separate WC.
Practicality: The entire lower ground floor offers a huge cellar/garage space, perfect for storage, a workshop, or hobby area.
Like the main house, this property is fully double glazed and benefits from electric radiators.
Outbuildings & Grounds
Two further stone outbuildings – ideal for storage or possible conversion (subject to permissions).
A large barn, currently used for storage, offers excellent potential as a party room, games room, or covered entertaining space.
Ample parking for multiple vehicles.
Gardens and terraces around both houses give each property its own private outdoor space.
Location & Lifestyle
