Serene 4-Bedroom Stone House Retreat in Montbray, Expansive Grounds

Sunday morning in Beauville starts with the smell of bread. The boulangerie on the main square fires up early, and if your bedroom window is open—which it will be, because the air here in July is warm but never stifling—the scent reaches you before your alarm does. That's not a selling point you'll find in any brochure. It's just what life is like in this particular corner of Lot-et-Garonne, and it's the kind of thing that turns a holiday home purchase into one of the best decisions you ever made. This four-bedroom village house sits right in the heart of Beauville, one of the most intact bastide villages in Aquitaine. Built to a medieval grid plan in the 13th century, Beauville has the kind of architectural coherence that planners in other towns spend millions trying to recreate. The covered arcades around the central square, the honey-coloured stone, the church tower that chimes the quarter-hours—it's all still here, and this house is part of it. From the front door, the market square is a two-minute walk. From the top-floor living space, you can watch the whole village go about its business. The house covers around 190 square metres across three floors, and what strikes you first is how much space there actually is. Village properties in the Lot-et-Garonne often look compact from the street and reveal themselves slowly. This one does exactly that. The ground floor has a bedroom that works perfectly for guests who don't want stairs, or for owners who eventually want single-level living as a practical option. The first floor holds three more well-proportioned bedrooms and two bathrooms. And then there's the top floor—converted, bright, sitting under the original roof timbers—currently used as a family room and home of ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Guern, the first thing you notice is the silence — not emptiness, but the full, textured quiet of deep Breton countryside. Then a woodpigeon somewhere in the old oak at the garden's edge, and the smell of damp stone warming slowly in the early sun. This is a house that has been standing since 1638, and it feels it — in the best possible way. Set on a landscaped plot of just under 2,900 square metres, this five-bedroom stone property sits about ten minutes outside Pontivy, a proper Breton market town with a canal, a Napoleonic street grid, and a covered market where you can buy andouille sausage, buckwheat flour, and raw-milk butter before nine in the morning. The house itself is the kind of place that makes you rethink what you thought you wanted from a French property. Forget the neat and the newly renovated. This is something older and more serious. The oldest section of the main house dates to 1638, and the stonework shows it — thick walls that keep rooms cool through July, a majestic open fireplace beneath a soaring unceilinged section of the living room that turns even a grey November afternoon into something you want to linger in. The living space is generous and genuinely characterful, with an oak-floored mezzanine overhead that looks down over the room and gives the whole space a scale you rarely find in this price bracket. Below, the kitchen connects through to a back kitchen and laundry room — the kind of practical layout that makes a big house actually liveable, not just impressive to photograph. There are two independent entrances to the main house, which opens up real flexibility. One side handles the social, day-to-day flow — kitchen, back kitchen, living room with the fireplace — ... click here to read more

Step out of the garage in the early morning and the first thing you notice is the silence — not the hollow kind, but the full, layered quiet of deep rural France, where the only sounds are wood pigeons in the oaks and the faint trickle of water from the pool filter kicking on. This is Troche, a hamlet in the folds of Corrèze, and life here runs at a pace most people only experience on holiday. Which is exactly the point. Built in 2022 and sitting on nearly 3,000 square metres of open countryside, this three-bedroom house punches well above its modest footprint. At 94 square metres, every centimetre has been thought through. The living room opens directly into a fitted kitchen — no awkward corridor, no closed-off cooking — so whoever's at the stove is still part of the conversation. French doors from this space lead straight to the heated swimming pool. That detail matters more than it sounds. On a July afternoon in the Limousin, when temperatures climb into the low thirties and the air smells faintly of warm cut grass, being three steps from the water is everything. The three bedrooms are calm, well-proportioned spaces. Two come with built-in wardrobes, practical for families who actually want to live here rather than just visit twice a year. The bathroom has both a bathtub and a walk-in shower — again, small choices that reflect considered design. There's also a dedicated storeroom, which international buyers often overlook until they're trying to figure out where to keep pool equipment, bikes, and the extra firewood they didn't expect to use. Then there's the technical spec, and this is where the property genuinely stands out in its price bracket. An air-to-water heat pump handles heating and cooling. A thermodynami ... click here to read more

Stand on the upstairs terrace of this place on a clear morning and you'll understand immediately why people drive three hours south from Paris just to breathe this air. The Corrèze countryside rolls away from you in every direction — deep green, almost shockingly quiet, broken only by the occasional church bell drifting up from Troche below and the sound of wind moving through the oak trees at the edge of the property. This is not a backdrop. It's the whole point. The property itself is genuinely unusual — two separate stone houses, each with its own character and floor plan, joined together by a custom-built glass veranda that has become the heart of the home. That veranda is where you'll end up spending most of your time. It pulls in light from both sides, looks out onto the wooded plot, and has this wonderful in-between quality: sheltered enough for a rainy afternoon with a book, open enough in summer that you barely feel indoors at all. It's the kind of space that takes a moment to understand and then becomes impossible to give up. The first house is anchored by a generously sized fitted kitchen with a wood-burning stove — the sort of stove that makes the whole room feel like somewhere you actually want to be from October through March. A ground-floor bedroom and shower room sit adjacent to it, keeping things practical for guests or for those who'd rather avoid stairs. Head up and the mezzanine living room opens directly onto that terrace with its long countryside views — this is the view you'll be photographing every season, watching it shift from the pale green of April to the amber and rust of late October. A second bedroom and a full bathroom with toilet complete this upper level. The second house runs on its ... click here to read more

Step out of the veranda on a June morning and all you can hear is the low hum of bees working through the meadow grass. The Corrèze countryside rolls away in every direction — soft hills, oak stands, not a rooftop in sight. This is what 2.82 hectares of your own land feels like. The house itself is a proper Limousin stone farmhouse, the kind built to last centuries and the kind that actually has. Slate roof, thick walls that keep the interior cool through August without any air conditioning running. It was renovated in 2003, which means the bones were kept honest while the living spaces were updated enough to move straight into without a renovation project hanging over you. At 131 square metres across two floors, it's genuinely liveable for a family — not so sprawling it becomes a burden to maintain, not so compact you're bumping into each other. The ground floor has a flow that makes sense. You come in through an entrance hall, move into a fitted kitchen that opens directly to the dining and living room — a fireplace at one end, a wood-burning stove doing the heavy lifting in the winter months when the Corrèze hills get properly cold and the idea of curling up with a book and a local Brive-la-Gaillarde walnut cake sounds genuinely appealing. A bedroom and shower room sit on this level too, which means the whole house can function single-storey if needed. But the real surprise is the veranda — large, full of afternoon light, opening straight onto the grounds and the swimming pool. That pool was built in 2025, a traditional 7m x 3.5m format, so it's fresh, clean, and ready for the first summer. Upstairs, three more bedrooms with sloped ceilings give the house that classic French farmhouse character, accompanied by a sho ... click here to read more

You wake up to no particular sound except a wood pigeon in the pear tree and the faint clang of a bell from the village down the lane. The kitchen smells of last night's fig jam still cooling on the counter. Through the window, the farmland rolls out golden in every direction, and by the time your coffee's done, you've already decided you're not going anywhere today. That is exactly the pace of life this three-bedroom stone house in Dolmayrac delivers — and once you've had a taste of it, ordinary weekends will never quite measure up again. Dolmayrac sits in the Lot-et-Garonne département, one of those quietly extraordinary corners of southwest France that doesn't appear on postcards but absolutely should. The Lot Valley cuts through the landscape a short drive away, and the market town of Villeneuve-sur-Lot — with its Saturday farmers' market spilling across Place Lafayette — is close enough to be genuinely useful without intruding on the rural quiet. This is Aquitaine without the tourist crowds, without the inflated prices of the Dordogne, and without any sense that you're following a well-worn expat trail. It feels discovered rather than packaged. The house itself is built in the stone that defines this region — thick walls that keep the interior cool through July and August without air conditioning, and which hold the warmth of a log fire well into November. Inside, exposed beams run the length of the generous living and dining room, where two wood-burning stoves sit at either end like old friends. The stonework throughout is honest and unhurried, the kind you simply couldn't replicate today without serious money and serious patience. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms across the main house give you room to host prope ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in the Périgord Noir, you open the kitchen door onto the terrace and the air smells of woodsmoke and damp stone. A church bell somewhere down the lane counts out nine strikes. That's life in this hamlet just outside Salignac-Eyvigues — unhurried, rooted, and quietly extraordinary. This three-bedroom stone house sits in a small hamlet in the Dordogne département of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, one of the most coveted second-home destinations in all of France. It's a proper working property, not a renovation project or a holiday shell. At 137 square metres spread across three floors, it has the kind of bones that took generations to build and the kind of condition that means you can arrive with a suitcase rather than a skip. The ground floor sets the tone immediately. The main living room stretches to nearly 34 square metres, with exposed stone walls that stay cool in July heat, original beams overhead, and terracotta tiles underfoot that have absorbed a century of footsteps. The fitted kitchen-dining room at just over 20 square metres opens through French doors onto the terrace — which is where summer evenings actually happen, with a glass of Bergerac rouge and the sound of swallows cutting overhead. There's also a ground-floor shower room with WC, practical for anyone coming in from the garden. Upstairs, the first floor reveals the house's most generous room: a 34-square-metre sitting room with a working wood burner tucked into a stone fireplace. On winter evenings — and Dordogne winters are mild but damp — this room is the whole world. Exposed beams run the length of the ceiling, and the stone walls are the same here as on every floor, giving the house a remarkable thermal consistency. The main bedro ... click here to read more

Step into the kitchen of the converted barn on a Saturday morning in October, French doors flung open, the smell of woodsmoke drifting in from the garden, and you'll understand immediately why someone spent years restoring this 1778 farmstead with such patience. The Limousin countryside rolls out in every direction. Nothing but birdsong, the faint trickle of a natural spring feeding an old stone washing basin, and the knowledge that Paris is three hours north and you'd rather stay exactly here. This is a property with real bones and a real story. Built in 1778 and sitting on just over 10,000 square metres of mature gardens, terraces, and lawns in a quiet rural hamlet near Coussac-Bonneval in Haute-Vienne, the estate comprises three separate living spaces — a 173 m² converted barn serving as the main residence, a 124 m² original farmhouse restored as a two-bedroom gîte, and a 29 m² studio apartment currently generating income on short-term rental platforms. That's 325 square metres of habitable space across the full property, plus a workshop, the old pigsty (ripe for conversion), an above-ground pool, and a working well. For a second home that pays for itself, or for two families who want to share a slice of rural France without actually sharing a kitchen, this configuration is genuinely rare. The barn conversion is where the architectural confidence shows most clearly. Downstairs, a 30 m² kitchen anchors the space — big enough to actually cook in, with French doors that open onto two separate terraces so you can chase the shade or the sun depending on the season. A 54 m² living room with fireplace. A laundry room, a WC, and a ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower, useful when knees or houseguests become a considera ... click here to read more

On a still Tuesday morning in Vignols, the loudest thing you'll hear is a wood pigeon calling from the oak tree at the back of the garden. No traffic. No sirens. Just 3,800 square metres of fully fenced green, a stone-quiet lane, and the kind of rural France that most people assume no longer exists. This is where you find it. Set roughly halfway between Pompadour and Objat in the rolling hills of Corrèze, this solid detached house was built in 2009 — meaning it has the bones of traditional French countryside architecture with the practical advantages of modern construction: proper insulation, up-to-date electrics, and no decade-long renovation list waiting for you on arrival. At 117 square metres, it's not trying to be more than it is. It's a house that works. A proper home, calm and well-proportioned, that a family can walk into and immediately start using. Step inside and the living room anchors everything. The fireplace becomes the heart of the house from October through April — and in Corrèze, those evenings come early and cool quickly, which makes it genuinely useful rather than decorative. The fitted kitchen is generous by French rural standards, with enough room to cook a real Sunday meal: a confit de canard slow-braised from market-bought legs, a tarte aux noix made from the walnuts that grow everywhere in this part of France. Three bedrooms give the layout real flexibility — a master, a room for kids or guests, and the third that quietly becomes whatever you need it to be: a study, a studio, a reading room with the window cracked open to the garden air. The pantry is one of those features that sounds minor until you own it. In a rural vacation home, it's transformative — somewhere to store the cases of Cahors ... click here to read more

Stand at the upstairs mezzanine window on a still Tuesday morning and you'll understand immediately why people come to Corrèze and never quite manage to leave. The rooftops of Saint-Sornin-Lavolps spread out below, and beyond them, the sweeping grass of the local racecourse catches the early light. No traffic noise. Just birdsong, possibly a distant tractor, and the kind of quiet that city dwellers pay a fortune to find. This four-bedroom house sits on an elevated cul-de-sac — genuinely the kind of position where neighbours are close enough to wave to but far enough that you'd never hear them. The elevated plot gives you those racecourse views without any effort, framed from the living room, the garden, and that mezzanine perch upstairs that could be a reading room, a studio, or the best-connected home office you've ever had the pleasure of working from. The ground floor is practical in the best French sense: nothing wasted, everything considered. A proper entrance hall greets you — not a corridor you squeeze past, but a hall that sets the tone. The fitted kitchen leads naturally into daily life here: morning coffee before the market run, long lunches that drift into afternoon, the kind of cooking that happens when you're not in a hurry. The living room anchors the social heart of the house with a fireplace insert — and if you've never spent a Corrèze winter evening with a fire going while rain taps the windows and something slow-cooked on the stove, that's an experience you've been missing. Four bedrooms sit across the ground floor, one of which has its own shower room en suite — a small detail that makes a significant difference when you have guests. A separate shower room and two toilets handle the morning rush for ... click here to read more

The morning light in the Landes hits differently. It comes in low and golden through the pine trees, and by the time you're drinking your first coffee on a 2,500 square metre flat plot with no neighbours in sight, you start to understand why people who discover this corner of southwest France rarely leave. This four-bedroom house in Saint-Geours-de-Maremne is one of those rare finds that gives you something increasingly hard to come by in the region: genuine space, serious potential, and a price that actually makes sense. Saint-Geours-de-Maremne sits in the heart of the Landes, that vast, pine-forested département that stretches between Bordeaux and the Basque Country. The village itself is quiet, unpretentious, and exactly the kind of place where locals still nod at strangers on the street. But don't mistake quiet for remote. Dax, with its thermal baths, covered market, and weekly Saturday feria buzz, is less than fifteen minutes away. Bayonne — home to the famous Fêtes de Bayonne in August, arguably the wildest five-day festival in all of France — is under forty minutes by car. And the Atlantic coast? The surf breaks at Hossegor and Capbreton are a twenty-minute drive, where in September the Quiksilver Pro brings world-class competition to waves that churn year-round. The property itself is 200 square metres of living space, made up of an original older house of around 100 square metres combined with a substantial 100 square metre extension already built across two levels. The extension is structurally complete — the shell is there, the bones are good — but the interior fit-out is yours to define. That's not a flaw; that's the opportunity. Anyone who's tried to buy a finished, move-in-ready house in the Landes at thi ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in Tocane-Saint-Apre, you wake to birdsong and the faint smell of woodsmoke drifting from a neighbouring farmhouse. You pad downstairs, throw open the kitchen window, and the garden just sits there — unhurried, green, completely yours. That's the rhythm this house has kept for three decades, and it's one you can step straight into. This four-bedroom house in the heart of the Dordogne has been the summer anchor for the same family since the early 1990s. That kind of loyalty tells you something. The property sits in Tocane-Saint-Apre, a genuinely lived-in village rather than a tourist set piece, about 20 minutes northeast of Périgueux along the D939. Local life here revolves around the weekly market in Brantôme — the so-called Venice of the Périgord — just 14 kilometres up the road, where you'll find duck rillettes, walnut oil pressed from trees grown a field away, and strawberries from the farms around Vergt that are, frankly, absurd in their sweetness. The house itself is symmetrical in plan, which gives it an unusually calm, balanced feel the moment you step inside. The entrance hall acts as a natural spine: to one side, a dual-aspect living and dining room with a wood-burning stove that throws out serious heat on autumn evenings; to the other, the kitchen and a shower room with WC, plus a separate guest WC — practical for a family who's actually using the place, not just looking at it. Upstairs, four proper double bedrooms, all generously proportioned in that unhurried way older French houses tend to be. Above that, a full attic accessible by stairs. Storage now, potentially a fifth bedroom or studio space later, subject to the usual planning considerations. Outside is where summer really h ... click here to read more

Step out onto the terrace on a Saturday morning and the first thing you notice is the silence — not the dead kind, but the alive kind. Birds in the walnut trees, a faint breeze off the Dordogne valley, and the faint scent of woodsmoke from a neighbouring farm. That's Saint-Avit. And once you've stood here with a coffee in hand, watching the mist lift off the rolling Lot-et-Garonne hills, it's very hard to imagine being anywhere else. This three-bedroom stone house sits in one of the quieter, greener corners of Aquitaine — a region most people think they know from Bordeaux wine routes and the Périgord truffle markets, but which holds far more than that in its folds. Lot-et-Garonne is sometimes called the "garden of France," and it earns the name. Orchards line the roadsides in spring. The weekly markets in Villeneuve-sur-Lot and Monflanquin spill over with strawberries from the Garronne plain, foie gras from local farms, and cheeses you won't find behind supermarket glass. Life here runs at a pace that feels deliberate rather than slow. The house itself has the bones of something built to last centuries — because it was. Terracotta floor tiles throughout the ground floor, thick exposed stone walls, and chestnut ceiling beams that have absorbed decades of firelight from the wood burner in the main living and kitchen space. That open-plan room clocks in at nearly 28 square metres, big enough for a long Sunday lunch with family but intimate enough to feel genuinely cosy on a January evening when the burner is doing its job. The dining room opens directly onto the terrace through double doors — the kind of detail that becomes central to daily life from May through October, when you'll eat outside more often than not. The g ... click here to read more

On a clear morning in Vienne-en-Arthies, you open the French doors off the living room and the Vexin countryside rolls out in front of you — soft hills, open sky, not a rooftop in sight. Coffee in hand, the only sound is birdsong and the distant rhythm of a tractor somewhere beyond the tree line. This is rural Île-de-France at its most honest, and it's just 70 kilometres from Paris. Vienne-en-Arthies sits in the Parc Naturel Régional du Vexin Français, a protected landscape of limestone plateaus, wheat fields, and stone villages that feels like it belongs to another century. Five minutes down the road is Vétheuil, the riverside village that captivated Claude Monet before he ever reached Giverny — and you can see exactly why when you walk the Seine bank at dusk. The light here does something extraordinary in the late afternoon, the kind of golden slant that makes even a grain silo look like a painting. The house itself sits on around 1,500 square metres of land, and at 104 square metres of living space it strikes that rare balance — enough room for family and friends without becoming a maintenance burden. The ground floor revolves around a 29-square-metre living and dining area with an open-plan kitchen at one end and a fireplace with an insert at the other. In January, when the Vexin frosts bite, that insert earns its keep. Come July, the glazed doors fold back and the terrace becomes the de facto dining room, the garden stretching away toward open countryside. Upstairs, two generous bedrooms sit under partially mansard rooflines — the sloped ceilings give them a tucked-in quality that guests tend to love. The garden level adds real versatility: a third room currently configured as an additional bedroom, with an adjo ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Bouquetot moves slowly. The smell of fresh bread drifts up from the boulangerie in Bourg-Achard five minutes down the road, church bells carry across flat green fields, and beyond the tall hedgerows that frame this property's 4,580 square metre plot, there's almost nothing to hear but birdsong and the occasional tractor on a distant lane. This is rural Normandy at its most genuine — not the postcard version, the real one. Built in 1960 and kept in consistently good condition by owners who clearly cared about the details, this 103 square metre house sits on a fully enclosed, tree-lined lot that feels more like a private park than a garden. Step outside on a June evening and the light stays golden until nearly ten. The flat lawn is wide enough for a game of pétanque, a badminton net, or simply a table long enough to seat the extended family for a Norman spread — think camembert straight from the market at Pont-Audemer, a terrine from the charcuterie in Bourg-Achard's Wednesday market, and a bottle of local Calvados to close things out. The entrance through the veranda-style extension sets the tone: this is a house that has been lived in and loved. The 26 square metre living room faces southwest, which matters enormously in Normandy — afternoon sun floods the room, and you earn every one of those winter hours around the fireplace insert. The tiled floors are easy to maintain, practical in the way that a proper country house should be. The fitted kitchen is ready to go from day one, no renovation project standing between you and your first summer here. Three bedrooms give the property genuine flexibility. Use it as a family holiday home and everyone gets their own space. Rent it out during peak summer we ... click here to read more

Step out onto the terrace on a Saturday morning in Riantec and you'll hear it before you see it — the low hum of fishing boats heading out across the Rade de Lorient, the calls of gulls cutting through salt-sharp air, and somewhere down the street, the mechanical clatter of a boulangerie shutter rolling up. This is not a postcard version of Brittany. It's the real thing. A working coastal town where the rhythm of the tides still shapes daily life, and where a five-bedroom house with this much space and this much potential doesn't stay on the market long. Built in the 1970s in a style typical of solid Breton residential construction, this 147-square-metre house sits in Riantec with a full basement, an attached garage, a proper garden, and a terrace that asks you to sit down and stay a while. The bones are good. The layout is generous. And the renovation opportunity here is exactly what buyers who know this part of Morbihan have been waiting for. The garden level does something rare — it allows genuinely comfortable single-floor living if you want it. An entrance hall opens into a bright living and dining room, there's a functional kitchen, two bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC. Come summer, with the terrace doors thrown open and the garden spilling light through the windows, this floor alone becomes a complete holiday retreat. Upstairs, a landing leads to three more bedrooms, two of which come with dressing areas — a detail that matters enormously when you're hosting family for an extended August stay. The second bathroom has both a bath and a separate shower, which anyone who's coordinated a full house of guests will appreciate immediately. The full basement is the kind of space that gets people thinking. ... click here to read more

The church bells from the village of Ménéac carry just far enough on a still morning to reach the kitchen window — but you'd have to open it first, and by then the smell of coffee and woodsmoke from the stone fireplace has already pulled you firmly into the day. This is the kind of place that resets your clock. Six hectares of Breton countryside, two independent dwellings carved out of a grand old granite longhouse, and a second stone longère waiting in the wings. At €292,000 for the whole estate, it's not a fantasy — it's a real opportunity that doesn't come around often. Let's start with what's here right now. The main property is a large traditional Breton stone house, divided into two fully functional dwellings. Both are in good condition and ready to live in, which matters more than people realize when you're buying remotely from abroad. No months of waiting on contractors before your first stay. The first dwelling runs across two floors. Ground level gives you a living room anchored by a fireplace with a wood-burning stove — the kind you'll actually use from October through April — plus a proper kitchen, a laundry room, and a toilet. Upstairs, one bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom, there's a second bedroom, a family bathroom, and a room currently used as an office but flexible enough to become a third sleeping space when the cousins arrive in August. The second dwelling mirrors this layout almost exactly: a living room with its own fireplace and wood-burning stove, a kitchen-dining room (slightly more sociable in its configuration), a laundry room, a toilet downstairs, then an en-suite bedroom, another bedroom, a family bathroom, and an office upstairs. Two complete homes. Same stone walls, same slate roof, s ... click here to read more

Stand on the covered terrace on a clear October morning and you can see all the way across the Roussillon plain — the vineyards turning rust and gold, the Mediterranean a thin silver line on the horizon, and the Albères mountains pressing up close behind you. This is Laroque-des-Albères. Not the tourist brochure version of southern France, but the real, lived-in one, where the weekly market on the square smells of thyme and grilled blood sausage, where the locals drink their grenache at tables that have never moved, and where the light in late afternoon turns the stone walls the color of warm honey. The property itself is a two-part setup that gives you rare flexibility. A detached villa of around 95 square meters sits at the heart of the plot, solid in construction and in good condition throughout. Ground floor living is set up sensibly: two bedrooms, a shower room, a separate toilet, an independent kitchen, and a living room that opens directly onto a 30-square-meter covered terrace. That terrace is where life actually happens — morning coffee in the shade of the overhang, long lunches that drift into the afternoon, the smell of wild rosemary carried down from the hills above. Upstairs, a third bedroom, a mezzanine space, and an office give you room to spread out, whether you're working remotely for a week or hosting three generations of family across the summer. Beyond the villa, a completely independent T3 apartment changes the entire financial conversation around this property. Two bedrooms, a shower room, an open kitchen flowing into the living area, its own private terrace with that sweeping view over the plain, and a storage shed. The apartment is fully self-contained — guests, family members, or tenants have t ... click here to read more

The interior of the house is just as appealing, with its plethora of preserved period features that add character and warmth to the space. Upon entering the home, a small hallway leads to several key areas: a newly fitted kitchen/dining room, a generous sitting room, and a utility room with a convenient W.C. The kitchen is spacious and modernized, equipped with new units, an island providing substantial workspace, and French windows that open directly to the garden, extending your living space. The highlight of the large sitting room is undoubtedly the impressive stone fireplace that contains a substantial wood burner, an ideal setting for cozy family gatherings. Ascending the original oak staircase, you reach the first floor which hosts the sleeping quarters. Here lies a master bedroom ... click here to read more
