Character home with attached barn and enclosed garden
This charming character home combines traditional appeal with modern comfort and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The main living area is bright and spacious, featuring exposed stone walls and wooden beams, blending authenticity with everyday comfort. Perfect for family life or entertaining, the room includes a wood-burning stove, ideal for cosy winter evenings.
Upstairs, the bedrooms provide privacy and comfort, including a master suite with a private balcony, perfect for enjoying a morning coffee, with direct access to the attached barn via an internal staircase. The other bedrooms are generously sized, accommodating family or guests comfortably.
Outside, the property includes an enclosed courtyard and garden, offering a peaceful space for relaxation, gatherings, or even a small vegetable garden. An attached barn, a workshop with water and electricity, and several outbuildings complete the property, providing excellent opportunities for expansion (subject to necessary permissions) or creative projects.

On the ground floor, there is a kitchen open to the dining and living area of 43 m², tiled and fully equipped, featuring a wood stove and stone details. The 15 m² entrance is finished with chestnut parquet, and there is a bathroom of 5 m² with shower, sink, WC, and mechanical ventilation. Two additional rooms of 8.8 and 11 m² can serve as bedrooms or offices, complemented by a 9 m² hallway.
Upstairs, the 18 m² master bedroom opens onto a tiled balcony and provides direct access to the barn via stairs. The 14 m² landing has two Velux windows for natural light. The 8 m² bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, bidet, sink, towel radiator, and WC. Two more bedrooms of 11.5 and 22 m², featuring parquet floors and exposed beams, complete this level.
The exterior includes an attached barn, a concrete workshop with water and electricity, a laundry room, storage room, two small sheds, and a small garden, all set on a total plot of 835 m², providing both tranquility and versatility.

Opening Hours
Monday to Friday 9am - 12pm, 2pm-6pmDiscuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
