This used to be the village café and shop. The old café is now a superb open space with terracotta floor and high open ceiling. Accessed from the kitchen in the house this could be converted into a sitting/garden room with triple doors that open onto a cute terrace and garden. Shaded by a large tree and facing south it’s the perfect place to soak up the sun.
Inside the house there is lots to keep you occupied although the structure and roof of the house are in good condition. The hallway has the original wooden staircase with an understair storage room which used to be used as a strong-room for the café and still sports the iron grills on the door. The sitting room is a good size with ornate plasterwork above the fireplace. This room needs redecorating but it is a very pleasant room with two south facing windows. The kitchen is about 25sq, a large square room with the original farmhouse fireplace and access to the barn attached to the back of the property. The barn has a new roof and has been divided into three areas including a garage which is accessible via a shared private lane at the side of the house. There is also a downstairs toilet.
Upstairs there are two bedrooms with original oak floors and both with very attractive curved cupboards framing the bedheads. The ensuite bathroom is shared by both bedrooms.
Outside the front of the house does need some attention, with the windows and shutters painted and the balcony refurbished this will be an exceptionally attractive home. The garden at the front of the house is enclosed by a wrought iron fence and has some trees and shrubs. There is a possibility of purchasing a plot of land opposite the house.
In a pretty village which has shops, café, chateau and restaurant there are plenty of amenities close at hand. With a swimming lake next to the village and the ski slopes only a one hour drive away there are lots of leisure activities to enjoy as well. |
