A separate dining room of approximately 15 m² also benefits from doors opening outside, while the adjoining kitchen measures approximately 15 m².

Also on this level is a bedroom of approximately 14 m² with direct access outside, together with a spacious bathroom of approximately 14 m² comprising a bath, separate shower and WC. This arrangement allows for comfortable ground-floor living.
An attached garage/barn of approximately 14 m² includes useful mezzanine storage.

A spacious landing of approximately 15.5 m², enhanced by a characterful vaulted timber ceiling, leads to four individually styled bedrooms of approximately 18 m², 18 m², 16 m² and 9 m². Each room enjoys attractive countryside views.

The bedroom measures approximately 14 m² and has glazed doors opening onto its own private garden. A bathroom of approximately 8 m² completes the accommodation.
OUTSIDE
The property stands within approximately 1.8 hectares of sloping grounds, giving it privacy, space and its exceptional elevated outlook.
The swimming pool and surrounding terrace enjoy the magnificent open views and have previously been reserved exclusively for holiday guests. There are several areas for outdoor dining, relaxing and enjoying the peaceful setting.
The remains of the historic windmill provide an unusual architectural feature and a memorable focal point on arrival.
The combination of a spacious five-bedroom main house and an independent one-bedroom gîte offers excellent flexibility and strong rental potential.
