Description

A48307LZH87 - A substantial stone barn conversion offering two adjoining but private houses, an established 4-star gîte business and exceptional flexibility of use.

Set in a quiet hamlet with private garden, heated swimming pool, terrace areas, outbuildings and adjoining land, this is an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to combine a lifestyle change with a potential income-generating business in the French countryside.

HOUSE 1 – Established 4-Star Gîte Business

This spacious accommodation offers an attractive opportunity for buyers looking to continue an existing holiday rental activity.
The heart of the house is a generous open-plan living space, designed for relaxing and entertaining with family or friends. A pellet burner creates a welcoming focal point in the lounge, which flows naturally into the dining area and a large open-plan kitchen. An adjoining utility room, WC and pantry provide useful everyday practicality.

Two sets of rear French doors open onto a private terrace, creating an ideal setting for outdoor dining and summer activities.

Upstairs offers 4 ensuite bedrooms, sleeping up to 8 people and a large equipped games room which connects cleverly with the shared downstairs utility room.

An especially appealing feature for any business-minded buyers is that all the furniture and accessories in this part of the property are available for negotiation with the sale, and truly makes this business opportunity ready to go immediately.

HOUSE 2 – Modern Three-Bedroom Home

The second house is a bright and contemporary three-bedroom property, with an impressive, light-filled mezzanine entrance leading into an open-plan living, kitchen and dining area.

French doors open onto a spacious terrace overlooking the covered, in-ground swimming pool, providing a lovely connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Upstairs there are 3 good size bedrooms and an attic space for extra storage.

Although the two houses are adjoining, their clever layout creates a high degree of privacy for each accommodation. This offers considerable versatility for owners who wish to live on site while welcoming paying guests, or for those considering operating both properties as rentals.

The current owners use one house as their private residence and operate the other as a gîte, allowing them to remain on site when guests need assistance. However, the layout lends itself to several alternative arrangements:

• Continue the established gîte business: Live in one house while generating rental income from the other.
• Operate two separate holiday rentals: Use both houses independently to create the potential for two rental income streams.
• Create one larger holiday accommodation: Combine the two houses for larger family groups, extended families or group holidays, offering up to seven bedrooms in total.
• Combine business and lifestyle: Enjoy a spacious private home while running a hospitality business from the same property.

OUTSIDE – The substantial private REAR garden has been thoughtfully arranged into different activity areas, providing privacy and flexibility for the two houses.

Outdoor features include:
• Two separate terraces for outdoor dining and relaxation.
• A covered, in-ground heated swimming pool.
• A generous lawn area for outdoor games
• A full-size gravelled pétanque court.
• A separate allotment area with polytunnel, ideal for growing fruit and vegetables.

Beyond the garden, a private parking area provides convenient space for vehicles. There is also a small enclosed woodland area and a gate leading directly into a large field, offering potential to keep horses, goats or other suitable animals.

An existing electrical hook-up in the parking area provides an additional practical feature for a caravan or campervan.

At the FRONT of the property, access is provided to both houses, alongside a garage, barn, workshop and a small cottage to renovate. These additional buildings offer further scope for storage, workshop use, hobby space or other possibilities.

Solar panels are installed on the roof of house no 1, which provides a substantial amount of power contributing to the running of the whole property.

Ideal for buyers seeking a home with income potential, an opportunity to expand a holiday rental business, or a versatile rural property for a larger family, it offers the freedom to shape the accommodation around your own plans.

A distinctive opportunity to enjoy the French countryside while exploring the possibilities of a hospitality business and a more flexible way of life.

Whether you are looking for an established hospitality opportunity, a flexible property investment or a change of pace in rural France, this property offers an immaculately presented and compelling combination of potential.

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.
