Renovated Stone House with Large Garden

Pull up to the rue on a warm September morning and you'll already understand why people keep coming back to Perpignan. The air carries a mix of grilled sardines from a nearby brasserie, a faint salt edge rolling in from the Mediterranean forty kilometres east, and the dry warmth that the Roussillon plain holds long after the rest of France has surrendered to autumn. This is a city that doesn't perform for tourists — it simply lives, loudly and confidently, and this four-bedroom detached house on a quiet street close to all amenities puts you right inside that daily rhythm. The house sits on three free-standing sides with no overlooking neighbours, which in a Catalan city packed with character and density is genuinely hard to come by. At 110 square metres across two levels, the layout currently runs as two separate dwellings — a feature the original owners used pragmatically, and one that hands the next owner serious options. Keep both units intact and you have a ready-made rental setup in a city with strong year-round occupancy, driven by students at the Université de Perpignan Via Domitia, medical tourism at the Centre Hospitalier, and the steady stream of visitors drawn to the Côte Vermeille from April through October. Knock through and reconfigure, and you get a generous four-bedroom family home with space to breathe in ways that most city-centre properties at this price point simply don't allow. Yes, this is a renovation project. Let's be straight about that. Floors, kitchen, bathrooms, heating, insulation — all of it needs attention. But that's also exactly the reason the price sits at €142,000 for a freestanding house in a southern French city where the food is extraordinary, the sun shows up reliably about 300 d ... click here to read more

Picture a Saturday morning in late September. You pull open the roller shutters and the light that floods the living room is that particular gold you only get this far south — thick, warm, almost edible. Outside, the vines on the Agly plain are turning amber. There's a market in Rivesaltes, twenty minutes on foot, where someone is grilling merguez next to a stall piled with Muscat grapes and local honey. This is not a fantasy. This is a regular weekend when you own this 233 m² villa on a quiet residential street in one of the most quietly compelling corners of the French Midi. Rivesaltes sits in the Pyrénées-Orientales department, tucked between Perpignan and the coast, flanked by vineyards that have been producing wine since the Romans passed through. The town's name is practically synonymous with the famous Muscat de Rivesaltes and the rich Rivesaltes Ambré, and the Cave de Rivesaltes cooperative — one of the largest in the region — welcomes visitors year-round for tastings that won't cost you a fortune. This is everyday life here, not a tourist attraction you visit once. The villa itself is a proper single-storey family home with a footprint that feels rare at this price point in southern France. At 233 m² of living space spread across one generous floor — plus a 16 m² upstairs office — the layout is genuinely practical rather than just spacious on paper. The main living room stretches to 38 m², and with the open-plan kitchen flowing into it, the whole social heart of the house breathes. Five bedrooms, two full bathrooms plus en-suites, a separate laundry room — this is a home that can absorb a large family or a revolving cast of guests without anyone feeling crowded. The 22 m² garage keeps a car out of the Roussill ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in the Périgord Vert, the church bell from Saint-Pierre de Brantôme carries across the valley before the rest of the world has stirred. You're standing at the veranda doors, coffee in hand, watching the light move across the pool. The figs on the old tree in the garden are almost ripe. This is what you bought it for. Just five minutes from the historic heart of Brantôme — the town they call the Venice of Périgord, carved around a loop in the River Dronne — this 120 m² stone house sits on a generous 1,863 m² garden plot and has been well maintained throughout. It's move-in ready, properly liveable from day one, and the kind of property that rewards you the longer you sit with it. The house itself tells you where it comes from. Original exposed stonework lines the living room walls, rough-cut beams cross the ceiling, and a working fireplace anchors the room when the evenings cool in October. That 30 m² living space is genuinely large enough for a family to spread out without getting on each other's nerves after a long drive from Bordeaux-Mérignac. The fitted kitchen runs practically — well-positioned, light, and leading directly into the veranda, which is where you'll end up spending most of your time anyway. The veranda looks out over the 10x4 swimming pool and the wider garden, and once you've had lunch out there under the afternoon sun with a cold glass of Bergerac Sec, going back to a city apartment feels like a genuine hardship. Three bedrooms across the house, one of them conveniently on the ground floor — a real advantage if you're hosting older family members or anyone who'd rather not deal with stairs. Two shower rooms keep the morning routine running smoothly when the house is full. The who ... click here to read more

On a still morning in the Périgord Noir, the only sounds you'll hear from this hamlet courtyard are birdsong, the faint echo of a church bell drifting over from Castels, and the soft splash of water in a 12-by-6-metre saltwater pool that looks straight out over a valley that hasn't changed much in centuries. That's not a selling point — that's Tuesday. This is a rare opportunity to acquire not one but two authentic Dordogne stone houses sitting side by side on roughly 8,000 square metres of grounds in the commune of Castels et Bézenac. A shared cobbled driveway and a gated private courtyard connect them, and together they form a property that functions equally well as a large family holiday compound, a multi-generational retreat, or a live-in renovation project with serious long-term upside. The asking price of €294,000 for the entire ensemble — pool, dovecote, garage, outbuildings, courtyard and all — is the kind of number that makes people do a double-take when they check it against what comparable Dordogne properties have been selling for. The larger of the two houses is the one that stops you at the door. Ground floor: a proper country kitchen with an adjoining shower room and WC, and a living-dining room anchored by a character stone fireplace and a pellet stove — the kind of room you want to be in when November rain is hitting the terrace outside and a cassoulet is on the hob. French doors open both toward the front courtyard and the rear garden, so the space breathes in summer and feels sealed and warm come autumn. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a small bathroom with WC. It's not complicated. It's exactly what a Dordogne farmhouse should be. The second house, slightly more compact, has its own kitchen, a living roo ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Louignac, the only thing that wakes you is birdsong. Not traffic, not neighbours, not the hum of a city that never quite switches off. Just the breeze moving through the oak trees at the edge of your garden, and the faint smell of damp grass catching the early light. That's what life feels like in this four-bedroom stone house in the Corrèze — and once you've felt it, it's hard to unfeel. This is rural France as it actually exists, not as it's romanticised on a postcard. Louignac sits in the rolling green Limousin countryside, a place where the land hasn't been manicured for tourists. The fields are real working fields. The stone walls lining the roads are a few centuries old. The weekly market at Objat — just twenty minutes away — sells duck confit, walnuts, and cheeses from farms you could cycle to. This is the kind of France that people spend years searching for, and rarely find still available at a price that makes sense. The house itself is solid and full of character. Stone construction throughout, which means thick walls that keep rooms cool in July and hold the warmth of the pellet stove through January without breaking a sweat. The ground floor is anchored by a generous kitchen-dining room — genuinely fitted and equipped, not the vague claim you see on listings where the "equipped kitchen" turns out to be a single plug socket. This room opens directly into the living room, so the whole social heart of the house flows together as one connected space. In winter, the pellet stove becomes the gravitational centre of every evening. In summer, the doors open and the room breathes out into the garden. Behind the kitchen, there's a laundry room that has a second life waiting for it. The proport ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in the Dordogne, and the air through the kitchen window carries woodsmoke and the faint sweetness of walnut orchards baking in September sun. You're putting on coffee, the terracotta tiles cool underfoot, and through the sitting room's old beams you can hear absolutely nothing except birdsong and the occasional tractor two fields over. This is what you came to France for. Set in Parcoul-Chenaud, a quiet commune in the northern Dordogne where the pace of life has been politely ignoring the 21st century for decades, this four-bedroom Périgord-style house sits on roughly 5,000 square metres of garden and land that gives you genuine room to breathe. At 190 square metres of living space spread across two naturally separated levels, it's a house with real character — not the kind manufactured by a renovation company, but the kind accumulated over generations of French rural life. The layout deserves a proper explanation, because it's one of the property's most interesting qualities. The upper entrance level holds a welcoming hall, a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. So far, so practical. But descend to the lower level and the house opens up into something altogether more generous: a large sitting room with original terracotta floor tiles and a beamed ceiling, a proper fireplace for January evenings when the Dordogne mist rolls in, and a staircase climbing to two further bedrooms and a second spacious bathroom. The split-level configuration means a family of six or eight could live here without anyone getting in each other's way. Or you could use the lower level as a self-contained space for guests — the bones are clearly there. A study, utility room, cave, and an oversized g ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in rural Vienne, and the only sound you can hear from the kitchen window is birdsong and the distant clank of someone's tractor heading up a dirt track. That's not a fantasy—that's a Tuesday. This three-bedroom character house in a quiet hamlet outside Civray sits on 2,500 square metres of wooded land, and the second you step through the gate, the outside world drops away entirely. The house itself stretches across more than 200 square metres of living space, with three en-suite bedrooms—a layout that already hints at something versatile. Live in one half, let out the other. Run it as a chambres d'hôtes. Install family in their own wing and keep yours private. The floorplan makes all of this genuinely workable, not just theoretically possible. One portion of the home sits entirely on a single level, which opens up options for guests with mobility considerations or older relatives who want their independence without the stairs. Character houses with this kind of built-in flexibility don't come up in this part of France very often, and when they do, they rarely stay on the market long. Then there's the 40-square-metre workshop—a proper one, not a glorified shed. For anyone with a woodworking habit, a restoration project, a ceramics practice, or simply a stash of tools that deserves a real home, this space is genuinely exciting. Add in the woodshed and the Alpine-style chalet on the grounds and you've got an ensemble that feels more like a small rural estate than a single-family home. Civray itself sits in the Vienne department of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, roughly equidistant between Poitiers and Angoulême—two cities worth knowing. Poitiers is about an hour north and carries real historical weight: th ... click here to read more

The kitchen window faces east, and on a clear morning in the Périgord Vert you get the light before the rest of the house does. Stand at the sink with a coffee, and through the glass you're looking out over nearly two hectares of your own land — meadow rolling gently toward an oak grove on the far side of the lane. Church bells from a neighbouring village drift over occasionally. That's the opening scene of daily life at this four-bedroom farmhouse on the edge of a tiny cul-de-sac hamlet between Mareuil and Nontron, and it sets the tone for everything else. At 154,500 euros, this is the kind of French country property that doesn't stay on the market long — and for good reason. The house itself has been thoroughly renovated and sits in excellent condition, with 120 square metres of living space and a total floor area of 180 square metres. Nothing here needs tearing apart or starting over. Move in, unpack, and start living. The 38-square-metre living room is the heart of it: original hardwood floors that creak in exactly the right way, walls that have absorbed a century of winters and summers, enough space for a generous sofa arrangement and a dining table that seats eight without anyone knocking elbows. There's a real generosity to the proportions here that photographs don't fully capture — you have to stand in the room to feel it. The kitchen runs to 23 square metres, which is significant. In a French rural property this size, a kitchen that large is not accidental — it's a statement of priorities. It's a room designed for slow Sunday lunches that drift into the late afternoon, for friends crowding around while someone makes a walnut tart, for the kind of cooking that takes time and company. The Périgord Vert is truff ... click here to read more

Picture a Sunday morning in the Périgord Vert. The kitchen window is open, a coffee is brewing, and the only sound reaching you from outside is birdsong and the faint rustle of the walnut trees at the edge of your enclosed garden. No traffic. No crowds. Just 1,560 square metres of private land, a covered pool glinting under its dome, and a pace of life that feels like it belongs to another century — the good kind. This fully renovated three-bedroom house sits in a quiet hamlet just ten minutes from Nontron, a town that punches well above its weight for a place of its size. Nontron is the capital of the Périgord Vert, the green and deeply underrated northern pocket of the Dordogne département, and it wears that title with quiet confidence. The old knife-making tradition still lives here — the Nontron knife, with its boxwood handle and distinct silhouette, has been crafted in the same spot since the 15th century, and you can visit the workshop on Rue Carnot and watch blades being finished by hand. It's the kind of place that reminds you France hasn't been entirely swallowed by modernity. The house itself spans 185 square metres across two levels and has been renovated to a standard that means you genuinely can walk in, unpack, and spend the first evening by the pool rather than drawing up a list of contractors. That matters enormously for buyers coming from the UK, Ireland, or northern Europe who want a second home without a five-year renovation saga attached to it. Good condition here means good condition — solid roof, clean interiors, functional systems. Downstairs, the scale of the living spaces is the first thing that catches you. A single-story living room of 58 square metres flows openly into a 28-square-metre din ... click here to read more

Picture a Thursday morning in late June. You've driven seven minutes down a quiet lane from La Fouillade, windows down, and the air already smells of cut grass and warm stone. Back at the house, coffee is on, the fireplace insert still holds a little warmth from last night, and through the kitchen window you can watch a buzzard circle lazily over your 8,617 square metres of land. This is what it feels like to own a piece of the Aveyron — unhurried, deeply French, and entirely your own. This former farmhouse in the commune of Bor-et-Bar has the kind of bones that reward a buyer with vision. At 126 m² across two floors plus a full basement, the main house is solid and liveable right now, while the constellation of outbuildings surrounding it opens up a range of possibilities that few rural French properties at this price point can match. A 50 m² double garage. A 60 m² former pigsty. And then — the showstopper — a 300 m² stone building that once housed livestock and could, with the right project, become gîtes, a workshop, an artists' residency, or simply extraordinary storage for the serious hobbyist. Planning permission in this part of the Aveyron has historically been sympathetic to thoughtful rural conversions. That 300 m² building alone makes this property worth serious attention. Inside the main house, the ground floor revolves around a generous 38 m² open living space where kitchen, dining, and sitting areas flow together around a fireplace with an insert — the kind that throws real heat on a January evening when the Ségala plateau gets its occasional frost. Three bedrooms of 9, 13, and 14 m² sit off this level, along with a bathroom and a separate WC. Upstairs, three further bedrooms, a second WC, and a convertible ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in Louignac, before the rest of the world has quite caught up, the view from the pool terrace is the kind that stops you mid-coffee. Rolling green hills, not another rooftop in sight, just the odd buzzard circling over the tree line and the faint mechanical hum of a tractor somewhere far off in the Corrèze countryside. This is rural France doing what it does best — unhurried, unfiltered, and quietly extraordinary. This four-bedroom stone house sits at the heart of one of the Limousin's most genuinely peaceful corners. The region doesn't shout about itself the way Provence or the Dordogne do, and that's precisely the point. Property prices here still reflect reality rather than hype, the markets are full of locals rather than tourists, and the land rolls on in every direction without apology. For buyers chasing authentic French country life — not a postcard version of it — Louignac delivers. Step inside and the kitchen-dining room sets the tone immediately. It's a proper working kitchen, fitted and equipped, with enough space that Sunday lunch becomes an event rather than a logistics challenge. This room opens directly into the living area, where a pellet stove anchors the space — genuinely efficient, low-maintenance, and exactly what you want when October mist rolls in off the hills. The view through the back windows is the kind interior designers try to replicate with wallpaper. You won't need to. Behind the kitchen, a laundry room gives you the practical backbone every country house requires. But it's also a flexible space — with the right desk and a decent internet connection (fibre has arrived in much of rural Corrèze), it converts into a quiet home office without much effort. Remote workers and ... click here to read more

Step through the wide sliding door of a former barn on a quiet hillside above Morlhon-le-Haut, and the first thing that hits you is the scale of the place. That 65-square-metre living room opens up before you like the inside of a cathedral — timber overhead, light slanting in from the south-facing terrace, a wood-burning stove already crackling on a November afternoon. It smells faintly of oak and old stone. Outside, the orchard is dropping its last apples into the wet grass, and across the flat, open grounds you can count two wells and a fish pond without taking a single step. This is the kind of property that takes a few minutes to fully comprehend. At just under ten kilometres from Villefranche-de-Rouergue and a short drive from Rieupeyroux, the address sits at a genuinely quiet crossroads of rural Aveyron — a département that most international buyers haven't yet discovered but seasoned France-watchers have been quietly watching for years. The land here is a deep, folded green, crossed by the Dourdou de Conques river valley and threaded with country lanes where you might go twenty minutes without seeing another car. The nearest TGV connection runs through Figeac or Rodez, both reachable in under an hour, and Toulouse-Blagnac Airport — the main gateway for international arrivals — sits roughly two hours southwest. You're remote enough to properly decompress, close enough to civilisation that it never becomes inconvenient. The main house, the converted barn, is where the real story of this property begins. The original structure — massive, honest stonework dating back generations — has been carefully opened up rather than gutted. Entering via a sloping ramp that still echoes the barn's working past, you arrive in the ... click here to read more

On a still April morning in Lussac-les-Églises, the fields around this old stone farmhouse turn into something you'd struggle to describe to someone who hasn't seen it themselves. Wild orchids push up through the grass in clusters, the kind of thing you read about in nature guides but rarely actually stumble upon. Swallows cut low over the carp lake. The only sound from inside the kitchen is the creak of a wooden beam settling in the warmth. This is what 4.7 hectares of organically managed Limousin countryside looks like when no one's been rushing it. This is a four-bedroom house in genuinely good condition, sitting on land that's been farmed without chemicals for fifteen years, with a small carp lake, maintained paddocks, a polytunnel, and a converted bread oven that serves as one of the most characterful ground-floor bedrooms you're likely to find anywhere in rural France. At 238 square metres, it has enough room to breathe — and enough quirks to make it feel like somewhere, not just somewhere else. The entrance hallway sets the tone immediately. Original encaustic floor tiles run the full length from front door to back, the kind that would cost a fortune to source and lay today. To the right, the living and dining room opens up around a proper fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove, with exposed timber beams overhead that have been doing their job for well over a century. This is a room for long winter evenings, for board games with the grandchildren, for the specific kind of quiet that only deep countryside delivers. Then comes the bread oven room. Fully restored, converted into a ground-floor bedroom, and genuinely unlike anything else in a comparable property. The curved stonework has been kept intact. It's ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace on a Saturday morning and the only sounds you'll catch are birdsong, the distant bark of a hunting dog somewhere in the oak woods, and the faint clatter of a tractor on the lane. That's life in Roziers-Saint-Georges — unhurried, grounded, and genuinely rural in a way that most of France has long since traded away for tourism infrastructure. This three-bedroom stone house sits in the Haute-Vienne department of Limousin, a region most international buyers haven't discovered yet, which is precisely what makes it worth paying attention to right now. The house itself is honest architecture. Thick granite walls — the kind that keep rooms cool in July without air conditioning and hold warmth in October without the heating working overtime. The original stone structure has been extended with a timber-clad addition that widens the ground floor living space and gives the interior an unexpected texture: rough-hewn stone on one side, warm wood on the other. Single-level living runs across the main floor, making the everyday practical and comfortable. Head upstairs and the sloping ceilings of the upper floor add a certain character — the kind of attic-ish charm that adults secretly love and children turn into dens within minutes of arriving. At 85 square metres, this is a manageable property. No vast rooms to heat or maintain, no sprawling grounds to upkeep when you're back in your home country. The garden is real enough to feel like a garden — space to eat outside, to grow tomatoes, to sit and do absolutely nothing — without becoming a burden. A stone terrace extends the living space outdoors through the warmer months, and given that Limousin enjoys genuine summer heat from late June through September, that te ... click here to read more

Friday morning. You unlatch the kitchen door and step out into the courtyard while the coffee is still brewing. Somewhere beyond the old gates, the weekly market on the Grande Rue is already in full swing — the baker from Rue du Marché has set up his table, and the smell of warm bread drifts over the stone walls. This is what life looks like in Richelieu, and this house puts you right at the centre of it. Cardinal Richelieu didn't just build a palace. He built an entire town from scratch in the 1630s — planned streets, a grid layout, arcaded market halls, and ramparts that still stand. It remains one of the most complete examples of 17th-century French urban planning in existence, and this three-bedroom house sits within those original walls, in the historic heart of it all. You're not on the edge of somewhere interesting. You are somewhere interesting. Step through the large gates into the shared courtyard and the house opens directly into a fitted kitchen of 12 square metres, tiled underfoot and practical in the best French sense — not a showroom, a room for actual cooking. A couple of steps up and you're in the dining room, 24 square metres with a fireplace and the kind of wooden floors that creak just enough to feel alive. Wall panelling in the reception rooms gives everything a settled, unhurried quality. A small door leads to a ground-floor WC, then along to the living room — another fireplace, more wooden floors, another reason to stay inside when October turns the town amber. Upstairs, the landing splits left and right. To the left, a 16-square-metre bedroom with fitted cupboards. To the right, a second WC. Keep going and you reach the shower room — a generous 15 square metres with shower, sauna, and sink. The ... click here to read more

Early on a Tuesday morning in Villefagnan, the weekly market on the square is already buzzing—farmers unloading sunflowers and Charentais melons, a boulanger selling still-warm pain de campagne from the back of a van. You could walk there from this property in under ten minutes, or take three minutes by car if your arms are already full of last night's wine bottles. Either way, you'd be back before the coffee in the kitchen's old stone fireplace alcove had gone cold. This is rural Charente at its most liveable. Not a sleepy nowhere—a proper working French village with a school, a pharmacy, a few local businesses, and that particular kind of quiet that city people spend years chasing. Villefagnan sits in the heart of Poitou-Charentes, a region that rarely makes the glossy magazine covers but that seasoned France-lovers return to again and again. The light here in July is long and golden. The summers are reliably warm without the punishing heat of Provence. And in October, when the cognac vineyards around Jarnac and Cognac—barely an hour south—shift from green to deep amber, the countryside becomes something else entirely. The property itself is a genuine Maison de Maître, that distinctly French architectural form built to project quiet authority: symmetrical façade, high ceilings, solid stone construction that keeps rooms cool in summer and holds warmth through the Charente winters. This one sits on just under a hectare of land—enough space to feel genuinely rural, not enough to become a full-time landscaping project. The grounds are divided into formal garden areas and open land, with a large hangar at the far boundary that has serious practical value for storage, vehicles, or conversion. And that's where things get i ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Les Chambons: the wood stove has already taken the chill off the air, coffee is on, and through the south-facing terrace doors you can hear nothing but birdsong and the faint rush of the Lignon River down in the valley. That's the rhythm this place sets. Not a frantic one. Sitting in the municipality of Jaujac in the wild, volcanic heart of the Ardèche, this single-storey house is the kind of property that rarely surfaces — move-in ready, with a heated pool still under warranty, nearly 2,130 square metres of land split across three parcels, and a separate fenced building plot of 750 m² with its own access and panoramic views over the surrounding hillsides. At 86 square metres, the house is compact and efficient, but the life it opens up is anything but small. Step inside and the layout just makes sense. Three bedrooms line up quietly at the back of the house while the open-plan living room and kitchen face south, spilling out through large glazed doors onto a covered terrace that's sheltered from the prevailing winds. Exterior sunshades keep the interior cool when the Ardèche summer gets serious — and it does get serious, regularly hitting the low 30s from July through August. The kitchen is modern and functional, the shower room clean and well-maintained, and there's a separate pantry plus a guest WC that international buyers with families will immediately appreciate. Electric heating handles the mild winters, but the wood stove is the real centrepiece — get it going on an October evening and the whole house feels like a different place. The pool is the kind of detail that changes everything. Heated by a heat pump and surrounded by a large tiled terrace, it's genuinely usable from May through Septem ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in Alba-la-Romaine, you open the shutters and the smell of fresh bread drifts up from the boulangerie two streets over. Church bells knock out a lazy rhythm from the old campanile. Below, the stone-paved lanes are still cool in the shade. By nine, there will be neighbours at the cafe tables on Place de la Mairie, the morning market will be arranging itself around the old fountain, and you will have nowhere particular to be. That is the specific texture of life on Rue Chabrol — and this 113-square-metre village house puts you right at the centre of it. Alba-la-Romaine sits in the southern Ardèche, about twenty minutes west of the Rhône valley and the A7 motorway. It is not famous in the way that Gordes or Les Baux-de-Provence are famous — and that is precisely its appeal. The village has earned its place on the list of France's most architecturally significant historic settlements without becoming overrun. The Château d'Alba crowns the basalt rock above the rooftops, medieval in its silhouette but built on Roman foundations that were themselves raised over a Gallo-Roman town. Active archaeological excavations still turn up finds on the edge of the village, and a small but genuinely interesting local museum — the Musée de l'Ardèche — displays mosaics and pottery recovered from the site. It is the kind of place where history is not performed for tourists; it is simply woven into the stone underfoot. The house itself is on Rue Chabrol, steps from the village core. The ground floor opens around a vaulted room — proper barrel-vaulted stone, the kind that took craftsmen centuries to figure out and nobody builds anymore. It gives the kitchen and dining area a weight and atmosphere that no amount of in ... click here to read more

The open floor plan on the first floor which is approximately 60m2, currently houses a living room and a music studio. The space boasts double insulation, exposed wooden beams, ... click here to read more
