The property retains many of its original features and charm, including exposed original beams and wooden flooring in some rooms. All rooms enjoy generous proportions.
The garden space is exceptional for a village location; aside from a large partially walled garden adjacent to the house there is another large plot belonging to the property, on the other side of a little path beyond the wall. It is planted with mature fruit trees (mirabelle plum, cherry and peach) and bulbs in the spring and has a well with a safety grid and a fishtank that would have been used for lent in times past. There, you will have ample space for a large vegetable garden and even a chicken coop. The large plot meets the castle ramparts that surround the village.
The old part of the house is heated via central gas heating, and the rest of the rooms have electric heaters. The sitting room has a large fireplace, where a wood stove could be installed. Windows are double-glazed in the new part and single-glazed in the old part.
The property is connected to the mains drainage system.

You will enjoy proximity to basic services such as the Post Office, a local grocery shop/boulangerie, a gas station, and even a hair salon. There is also a small Italian restaurant (run by an Italian), salon de thé, and small boutiques and ceramics shops.

This property presents an ideal opportunity to create a fantastic family or holiday home, a retirement property or an accommodation for tourists.
