Description
A48161ABR03 - Tucked away in a peaceful and unspoilt countryside setting, this exceptional character farmhouse enjoys complete privacy, with no immediate neighbours and no passing traffic. Accessed via a country track, the property is surrounded by nature and offers approximately 1.23 hectares of land, including a pond, making it ideal for those seeking space, tranquillity and a rural lifestyle.
Offering approximately 182 m² of living accommodation, the house combines the charm of a traditional French farmhouse with the benefits of careful renovation and modern features.
The House
On the ground floor, an entrance hall with staircase leads to a spacious living room featuring an open fireplace and direct access to the outside. The large country kitchen provides a welcoming space for family meals and entertaining, with a traditional wood-burning range cooker and a door leading directly into the garden.
A conservatory provides an additional space to enjoy the surrounding views throughout the year. There is also a boiler and laundry room, two bedrooms, each with their own independent access to the outside, a shower room and a separate WC.
Upstairs, the property offers a particularly attractive feature: a stunning light-filled mezzanine with a partial glass roof, creating a wonderful sense of space and an unusual relaxation area complete with jacuzzi.
The upper floor also includes a further bedroom, a shower room, separate WC and an attic, providing additional storage space.
Outbuildings and Grounds
The property stands on approximately 12,295 m² of land, or just over 1.2 hectares, with a pond and a peaceful natural setting.
There are two substantial barns, offering considerable potential for a variety of uses:
Large barn of approximately 199 m².
Second barn of approximately 67 m² with a concrete floor.
The smaller barn could be suitable for conversion into a gîte, guest accommodation, workshop or studio, subject to the necessary planning permissions and authorisations. Together, the outbuildings provide excellent opportunities for anyone considering a tourism business, holiday rentals, craft activities, storage or equestrian use.
Comfort and Improvements
The property benefits from geothermal central heating, supplemented by wood heating from the open fireplace and traditional range cooker. There is also double glazing and solar panels providing hot water.
The roofs have benefited from renovation, with the house roof renewed in 2007 and the front section of the large barn roof renewed in 2012.
These improvements combine with the traditional features of the house to create a comfortable property suitable for year-round living.
