Description
Located in the quaint village of Saint-Benoît-du-Sault, this 2-bedroom house, priced at €171,200, presents an opportunity to purchase a charming piece of French rural life. Saint-Benoît-du-Sault is renowned for its historical beauty, often listed among the most beautiful villages in France. Featuring traditional architecture and a sprawling garden, this property combines rustic appeal with substantial living space.
Upon entering, you're greeted by a conservatory-style room with tile floors, leading into a rustic kitchen equipped with essential amenities. The ground floor also hosts a spacious living and dining area adorned with original quarry tiled flooring, exposed beams, and an inviting fireplace. A large bedroom with another wood-burning stove and an adjacent bathroom complements the family-oriented design.
The second level includes a sizeable mezzanine that can serve as an additional bedroom or lounge area, and another large bedroom under the eaves, carpeted for comfort and featuring a dormer window overlooking the picturesque garden and beyond.
Despite its inviting interiors, the property is a good candidate for those looking to embark on a renovation project, as the septic tank system, while fully functional, does not meet the latest regulations. The potential for modernization provides an ideal canvas for those wishing to personalize or upgrade their living space.
Outside, the large attached barn includes a garage and pool equipment storage. There is room for improvement, particularly needed on the pool cover that sustained some hail damage. The property also boasts an in-ground swimming pool in a sizeable garden presenting a perfect venue for relaxation and entertainment.
Additional land plots totaling approximately 2 hectares include areas dedicated to vegetable gardening and others suitable for grazing, all enhancing the rural lifestyle this region affords.
