A brilliant combination of old and new – taking the best from each to create a house of charm and comfort.
Entry is by way of a large hall, leading to an open-plan fully fitted kitchen and dining area with door onto the terrace, for summer dining. The ceilings are constructed in the classic 16th C style with close joists making for a very stable first floor, not to discount the attractive exposed beam formation. There is also a utility room, a separate living room with stone fireplace, an office/guest bedroom and large bathroom with bath and shower. On the first floor are three large bedrooms opening onto the balcony – imagine taking coffee and croissants there on those warm summer mornings. There is also a further bathroom, shower-room and toilet on this floor and a walk in wardrobe (“dressing” in French!). In total there is 170m² of living area. In addition there is a further small house, barn, store-room and cellar.
The garden is enclosed and has attractive trees. This is a sunning property, with many traditional features, finished to a high standard. Two stone fireplaces, pointed stone walls both inside and out, ceilings “a le française” this special close joists system, soft local yellow stone lintels and window and door coins, stone stairs and the modern touch, double glazing. Close to the pretty market town of Charleiu it is less than 2 hours drive to Lyon.© |
