If you are looking to change your lifestyle and settle down in the peace of the French countryside, then this could be the place for you. The property has been sympathetically renovated by the present owners, so all you need to do is move in the furniture and relax, with nothing to disturb you but the song of the birds.
I started my tour in the large kitchen which spans the full width of the house. There is plenty of space to fit in a large farmhouse table for family dining, and the wood burning stove in one corner ensures cosiness in winter. Off the kitchen is a dining room with open staircase, and the lounge which retains its original fireplace and terracotta tiled floor. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. Back downstairs, a second staircase off the kitchen leads to the lovely master bedroom, which has exposed stone and beams, a small study area, and a dressing room with toilet and shower.
There is a courtyard garden to the front of the house, perfect for parking the car. At the back a pretty covered terrace overlooks the garden and the countryside beyond. There is a well kept vegetable garden at the side of the property. The large attached barn is ideal for storage, but if you need more space it could be included into the accommodation.
The house is situated at the edge of a tiny hamlet, and though there are no shops here St Claud is only about 2kms away, and there you will find butchers, bakers, and all of the usual commerce. © |
