This beautifully renovated farmhouse (270m2) was bought by the present owners approximately 7 years ago when it was just a ruin, but years of devotion (and hard work) have resulted in this fabulous home. Where possible all the original features have been retained so there are lovely tiled or wooden floors, exposed beams and colombage in nearly all the rooms. The gite has been created in one of the barns and has two bedrooms and a nice large bathroom. The living area of the gite is upstairs, to take full advantage of the views. The gravelled courtyard has an outdoor seating area for the gite (separate from the terrace of the main house which is at the back of the house overlooking the garden), and there is an attractive fishpond. The property is accessed via two separate gates, so either you can drive in through one set of gates, through to the parking area at the side of the house and then drive out through the other set of gates or you could have separate entrances for the main house and the gite. The completely enclosed garden (4300m2) is mostly laid to lawn with views over the surrounding countryside and there is a perfect place to put in a swimming pool next to the delightful terrace. There are three barns with this property (two attached), so there is plenty of scope to increase the amount of accommodation should you need it. The property is situated on a quiet lane in a little village with basic amenities, located only 10 minutes away from the market towns of Plaisance and Riscle.

On the ground floor:
New oak double glazed double doors open into the huge entrance hall with stairs to the first floor. Through to the left is the living room (30m2) with tiled floor, exposed beams and wood-burner. There is a door leading through to the barn.

Door through to kitchen (21m2) with fitted units and large wood-burning range, which also heats the house. It has a slow oven (heated by the fire), gas rings and an electric oven.

Outbuildings:
The door from the living room goes into the barn forming the L-shape of the house. This could easily be converted to provide further accommodation. At the moment there is 68m2, but this could be doubled by putting in a first floor.
There are two other barns - the larger of the two (180m2 over two floors), is attached to the house, so could be converted to provide extra accommodation. The smaller barn (28m2) is currently used as a wood store and workshop.
