The ease of access to multiple ports such as Caen and Cherbourg or fast rail links in Vire means your adventures beyond France or quick trips back to the UK are convenient.

The listed price of 86,500 euros, including agency fees, makes this property an attractive acquisition, but you should account for additional costs such as renovations and notarial fees.

Picture this: it's a Saturday morning in early October, the air carrying that particular Normandy sharpness that makes coffee taste better, and you're standing inside a gutted stone shell of a house in Grand-Couronne — walls thick enough to muffle the outside world, a cellar beneath your feet, and 110 square metres of pure possibility above you. No compromises inherited from someone else's taste. No awkward wall you wish wasn't there. Just raw space and good bones waiting for your vision. Grand-Couronne sits on the south bank of the Seine, about 10 kilometres from Rouen's city centre. It's not a tourist postcard, and that's precisely the point. This is a working town with a real community — butchers, bakers, a weekly market — where property prices haven't yet caught up with the quality of life on offer. For buyers coming from Paris, London, or Amsterdam, the contrast is striking. You're paying a fraction of what you'd spend in the city, and you're getting a proper stone house with a plot of land, within commuting distance of one of France's most historically significant cities. The house itself has been completely stripped back to its structural core. That sounds daunting on paper, but for anyone who's ever tried to renovate around someone else's plumbing or inherited a floor plan that makes no sense, this is actually the scenario you want. The layout is entirely yours to define. The current configuration of the plot and footprint makes it realistic to create four bedrooms across the two levels — genuinely useful if you're thinking about a family second home or a rental property. The cellar adds practical square footage for storage, a wine room, or a utility area, depending on how you build the project out. The stone ... click here to read more

Step off the gravel path on a Tuesday morning in late September, coffee in hand, and the only sound you hear is a woodpigeon somewhere in the oak trees behind the barn. That's what life feels like in this quiet hamlet just outside Chalais, a small market town in the Indre département — deep in the Berry region of central France, where the pace is unhurried and the countryside rolls out in every direction without apology. This is a genuinely move-in ready house. No leaky roof to negotiate, no outdated wiring to rewire before you can sleep comfortably. The current owners have put real thought into making it efficient and livable — reversible air-conditioning keeps things cool through the warm Berry summers and takes the edge off autumn evenings, while a pellet stove in the living area becomes the social heart of the home from October onwards. There's even a fiber-optic internet connection, which matters more than people admit when you're working remotely from a French hamlet or staying for longer stretches. The electric vehicle charging point in the detached garage signals that someone here was thinking ahead. The ground floor opens into a single flowing living space: lounge, dining area, and kitchen in one connected room. Double-glazed windows pull in generous light throughout the day, and patio doors swing open directly onto the rear garden — so on warm evenings, the line between indoors and out disappears entirely. There's a ground-floor bedroom here too, which makes the house genuinely accessible for guests or family members who'd rather avoid the stairs. The shower room beside it is newly fitted: a large walk-in shower, a proper vanity unit, clean and modern without being cold. Upstairs, one generously proportioned ... 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

Stand at the edge of the courtyard on a still October morning, coffee in hand, and listen. Nothing. A distant tractor, maybe a wood pigeon. The air smells of damp earth and cut grass, and the old tobacco dryer casts a long shadow across the yard. This is Civray, deep in the Vienne department of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, and this sprawling 330-square-metre ensemble of rural buildings is the kind of thing you simply don't find anymore at a price that leaves room to dream. At 34,000 euros for the lot — the main house structure, a 110-square-metre barn, a 125-square-metre attached hangar, and a 95-square-metre former tobacco dryer — this is raw, honest potential on 2,000 square metres of land in a small hamlet tucked into the soft agricultural folds of the Charente border country. The bones are solid. The vision is yours. Let's talk about what you're actually getting here, because the numbers tell only part of the story. The tobacco dryer alone is a piece of living regional history. The Vienne and surrounding departments were once significant tobacco-growing country, and these tall, louvred timber structures — built to allow maximum airflow for curing leaves — have become the architectural emblem of this corner of France. Convert one into a guest suite with double-height ceilings and you'll have something no boutique hotel can replicate. Leave the louvres in place. Let the afternoon light stripe the floor. That's a room people will drive across Europe to stay in. The barn at 110 square metres gives you the kind of volume that architects get genuinely excited about. Open-plan living space, an artist's studio, a workshop, a games room for visiting grandchildren — the agricultural zone classification means agricultural use and sto ... 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

Stand on the balcony on a clear October morning and you'll understand immediately. The valleys below are wrapped in a low mist, the tree canopy has gone amber and rust, and the only sound is the wind moving through the pines. This is Limousin at its most elemental — and this little stone cottage sits right at the top of it all. Saint-Gilles-les-Forêts is not a village that makes headlines. That's precisely the point. Tucked into the wooded hills of Haute-Vienne, about 30 kilometres southeast of Limoges, it belongs to a part of rural France that many people drive through on the way to somewhere else and later wish they'd stopped. The rolling forested landscape here is part of the wider Parc Naturel Régional Périgord-Limousin territory, and the surrounding countryside has the kind of unhurried quality that simply cannot be manufactured. The air actually smells different — a mix of damp earth, pine resin, and woodsmoke drifting from farmhouse chimneys on cool evenings. The cottage itself is built in the traditional Limousin stone style, that characteristically dark granite that seems to absorb the light differently at each hour of the day. At around 40 square metres of habitable space, it's compact and honest — there are no pretensions here, just a well-proportioned one-bedroom home that has been kept in good condition. But the real story is what lies beyond those walls. The attic holds genuine conversion potential, and the basement adds further flexibility for anyone who wants to expand without sacrificing the character of the existing structure. Planning something bigger? The bones are already there. The enclosed plot is tree-lined and private, with a wood shed that will earn its keep the moment the first autumn cold 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

Saturday morning, and the boulangerie on Rue de la République is already pulling trays of pain au levain from the oven. You can smell it from two streets away. That's the kind of neighborhood Le Grand-Quevilly is — compact, lived-in, genuinely French in the way that tourist brochures can never quite capture. This 35 m² townhouse sits quietly on a fenced plot of 252 m², and it's the kind of find that doesn't stay on the market long. The numbers make sense immediately. At €109,900, with an approved building permit already in hand, this isn't just a property — it's an open door to something bigger. For an investor looking to build equity in the greater Rouen metropolitan area, or a buyer planting roots in Normandy for the first time, the groundwork has already been done for you. Step inside and the house surprises you. What reads as compact on paper feels considered in person. The ground floor kitchen is functional and ready for your own vision — whether that means a sleek modern fit-out or something warmer and more rustic, the bones are there. Climb the stairs and you land on the first floor, where parquet flooring runs underfoot and the space opens up more than you'd expect. It works equally well as a living room or a generous bedroom — fluid, adaptable, genuinely useful. The bathroom here is modern and sharp: walk-in shower, toilet, vanity unit — everything finished, nothing left to guess at. Up another floor, the top-level bedroom has its own parquet floors and a quiet, settled feeling that makes you want to linger. What sets this property apart practically is the list of updates already completed. New electrical wiring throughout. A new water heater. Double-glazed PVC windows keeping the Seine-Maritime winters at ba ... click here to read more

There's a particular kind of quiet you only find in this corner of France. Standing on the private terrace on a Sunday morning, coffee in hand, you hear nothing but birdsong and the faint rustle of leaves from the garden's edge. No traffic. No sirens. Just the deep, unhurried exhale of rural Limousin. That's what this two-bedroom house in Rochechouart offers — and once you've felt it, you'll understand why people come here and never quite want to leave. Rochechouart sits in the Haute-Vienne department, about as authentically French as a town can get without being on a tourist poster. It's built on the rim of a 200-million-year-old meteorite impact crater — yes, an actual crater — and the local Musée de la Préhistoire documents this remarkable geological history in ways that'll have even skeptical visitors lingering longer than planned. The medieval château dominates the hilltop, and on market days the square below it fills with vendors selling Limousin beef, local walnuts, and cheeses that have no business being as good as they are. This isn't the manicured, postcard-perfect Dordogne that gets all the magazine coverage. It's better. It's real. The house itself is a compact, single-story bungalow — 56 square metres of well-proportioned living that gets the essentials exactly right. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, and four rooms total, arranged in a way that feels practical rather than cramped. The kitchen-diner is the heart of the home: a proper gathering space with a fireplace where the whole point is to sit around it on October evenings with a bottle of local wine and absolutely nowhere to be. The living room opens to views across the private garden, and the terrace catches the afternoon light in a way that makes you reth ... click here to read more

Picture a Tuesday morning in summer: you step out of your front door, still holding a coffee, and within three minutes you've nodded to the boulanger on Rue du Marché, bought tomatoes that were on the vine yesterday, and are back in your courtyard under a lime tree before the morning gets warm. That's not a fantasy — that's just Tuesday in Chef-Boutonne. This five-bedroom townhouse sits right in the middle of it all, and at under €100,000, it's one of those rare finds that makes you stop scrolling. Chef-Boutonne is a small market town in the Deux-Sèvres department of Poitou-Charentes, the kind of place that French people from the cities quietly buy into while property prices elsewhere have gone sideways. It sits in a gentle limestone valley about 40 minutes southeast of Niort, roughly an hour and a half from Poitiers, and about two and a half hours from Bordeaux if you take the N10. La Rochelle — with its Atlantic beaches, its old harbour, and its year-round flights from the UK, Belgium, and the Netherlands — is under an hour and a half away. The practical reality for international buyers is strong: fly into La Rochelle or Poitiers, pick up a rental car, and you're here before lunch. The house itself sits on three levels and gives you 174 square metres to work with — serious floor area for a family or for anyone thinking about rental income. On the ground floor, the entrance opens into a living and dining room that gets good afternoon light, with a kitchen alongside and a ground-floor bedroom complete with its own shower room and WC. That ground-floor suite is worth noting: it works well for elderly relatives or guests who'd rather avoid stairs, and for rental purposes, it functions almost as a self-contained annexe. U ... click here to read more

On a quiet Tuesday morning in Charroux, you can walk out onto your wooden terrace with a coffee and hear almost nothing. A church bell in the distance. Maybe a tractor somewhere beyond the stone walls. The air carries that particular mix of cut grass and old limestone that you only get in the Vienne countryside, and the view out over the surrounding hills doesn't have a single billboard, rooftop antenna, or modern intrusion to break it. This is what €130,780 buys you in one of France's most overlooked medieval villages — and once you've spent a weekend here, you'll struggle to understand why more people haven't discovered it already. Charroux sits in the heart of Poitou-Charentes, a region that most international buyers race through on their way to the Dordogne or the Vendée coast without realizing what they're passing. That's your advantage. The village itself is classified as one of the Plus Beaux Villages de France — a designation earned by fewer than 160 communes in the entire country — and it earns that status honestly, with its 11th-century abbey ruins, cobblestone lanes barely wide enough for a Citroën, and a Saturday market where the same families have been selling goat cheese and walnuts for generations. The centre is a five-minute walk from this house. Not a vague "close to amenities" five minutes — a genuine, flat, pleasant walk past honey-coloured stone walls. The house itself has been fully renovated and is genuinely ready to move into, which matters more than it sounds in this part of France where "good condition" can sometimes be a generous interpretation. Here, the work has been done properly: double glazing throughout, electric shutters, and — crucially — an air-to-water heat pump system that keeps ene ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Civray starts with a sound you won't hear in Paris or London — the unhurried clatter of market stalls being set up along the town square, vendors arranging towers of local goat's cheese, bunches of sunflowers, and baskets of walnuts from the Charente countryside. From this house, you can walk there in under ten minutes. That's not a selling point dressed up as a lifestyle — it's just Tuesday. Or Saturday. Or any day you choose. Civray sits in the southern tip of the Vienne department, in a region that most international buyers haven't discovered yet — which is precisely why it still feels real. The Charente River curves lazily around the edge of town, and the surrounding landscape is the kind of unhurried, rolling farmland that makes you slow down involuntarily. If you've been looking at overpriced Dordogne villages or the increasingly crowded Lot, the Vienne is quietly offering something comparable for a fraction of the cost. This house is a proper maison bourgeoise — the kind of solid, high-ceilinged French townhouse that was built to last centuries and very much has. At 103 square metres, it's not enormous, but every room breathes. The ground floor draws you in through a living room lined with decorative wood panelling that catches the afternoon light in a way that feels almost theatrical — warm, amber, like the inside of a French film you can't quite name. That room flows into a lounge with an ornamental fireplace, and beyond it, a fitted modern kitchen that somehow manages to feel at home alongside all the period character. French doors off the kitchen open directly onto the terrace, so summer dinners happen naturally outside — a carafe of Haut-Poitou rosé, the garden going gold in the evening ... click here to read more

Picture this: a Saturday morning in early June, the air carrying the faint sweetness of flowering linden trees, a rooster somewhere in the distance, and nothing but the sound of your own footsteps on old stone as you walk across the courtyard to figure out what this barn could one day become. That's the kind of quiet that Clussais-la-Pommeraie deals in. It's not dramatic. It's not performant. It's just deeply, genuinely peaceful — the kind that people from Paris or London or Amsterdam spend years trying to find and then overpay for somewhere more famous. This is Poitou-Charentes, one of France's most underrated rural regions, sitting right in the soft belly of the country between the Loire Valley to the north and the Cognac country to the south. The Deux-Sèvres department doesn't have the international name recognition of Provence or the Dordogne, and that's precisely why a stone property complex on roughly 2,400 square metres of land with a courtyard, a garden, a 240-square-metre barn, and multiple outbuildings is available for €70,000. Let's talk about what that number actually means. For the price of a decent second-hand car in London or a semester of private school fees in Switzerland, you're acquiring a genuine piece of rural France — original stone construction, exposed beams, a fireplace still intact, an attic that adds another 46 square metres of potential living space above the 90-square-metre ground floor. The property needs full renovation, and that's the point. It's a blank canvas, not a compromised one. Someone hasn't already ripped out the character and replaced it with laminate flooring and recessed lighting. The bones are there, waiting. The barn alone changes the arithmetic of what's possible here. At ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in La Bazouge-du-Désert sounds like this: a wood fire ticking quietly in the kitchen insert, the smell of coffee cutting through cool Breton air, and birdsong coming in through a window that looks out over 462 square metres of your own garden. No neighbours at your elbow. Just countryside, quiet, and the kind of unhurried morning that most people only manage once a year on holiday — except here, it would be yours whenever you wanted it. This compact stone country house sits in the northern Ille-et-Vilaine, the oldest corner of Brittany, in a rural commune that most visitors driving toward Saint-Malo never bother to slow down for. That's exactly the point. At €54,800, it's one of those rare entry points into genuine French rural property ownership — the kind of deal that doesn't appear often in a department where coastal prices have been climbing steadily and even inland villages are attracting more attention from buyers priced out of Normandy. The ground floor is functional and liveable right now. A kitchen with a wood-burning insert fireplace anchors the space — this is the room you'll be in most, and in October when the temperature drops and the trees turn, it earns its place. The living room flows from there, with one bedroom and a shower room/WC completing the footprint at around 60 square metres of living space. It's honest, not fussy. Good condition means you can move straight in, run it as a bolt-hole, rent it out short-term, or use it as a base while you plan what comes next. What comes next, potentially, is the attic. The first floor is an unconverted space of approximately 65 square metres — structurally there but requiring modifications to bring it into full use. That's a significant canvas ... click here to read more

Imagine waking up on a Saturday morning to the faint toll of church bells drifting across the rooftops of Brux, pulling on a linen shirt, and walking two minutes to the local boulangerie for a still-warm baguette before the rest of the village stirs. That's the pace of life here. Quiet, unhurried, and real. This four-bedroom renovated stone house in the Vienne department of Poitou-Charentes isn't just a property — it's a doorway into one of rural France's most genuinely liveable corners, at a price that makes it one of the smartest second home opportunities in the country right now. The house itself pulls you in from the street. The traditional stone façade gives nothing away — you have to step through the front door to understand what's been done here. Whoever renovated this place clearly loved it. Exposed stone walls run through the open-plan living and dining room, where timber beams cross the ceiling overhead and wide wooden floorboards run underfoot. A wood-burning stove anchors the room, and on a cool October evening with the fire lit and a bottle of local Charentais Pineau opened, you'll understand exactly why people fall for French country houses and never quite recover. The kitchen is the kind that makes you actually want to cook. A central island, generous worktop space, well-thought-out storage, and a direct door out to the courtyard — so you can hand plates through to guests without navigating a corridor. The materials are authentic: stone, wood, solid fittings. Nothing feels like a shortcut. On the ground floor, there's a bedroom with its own modern shower room. For families with older parents or guests who can't manage stairs, this is genuinely useful. Upstairs, three further bedrooms hold onto the build ... click here to read more

On a quiet Sunday morning in the hamlet of Saint-Romain, you'd hear almost nothing. A wood pigeon somewhere in the oaks. Maybe the distant clang of church bells drifting over from Charroux, that perfectly preserved medieval village ten minutes down the road where market traders set up their stalls beside the ruins of a Benedictine abbey. That stillness is the point. This is rural Vienne at its most unhurried — and this renovated farmhouse sits right in the middle of it. The property is a former working farmhouse that's been brought back to life without losing its bones. Stone walls, generous room proportions, the kind of building that took decades to settle and now feels entirely solid underfoot. At 148 square metres across two floors, it has real breathing room. The ground floor arranges itself practically: a living kitchen that opens directly onto a covered pergola — your default setting for every meal between May and October — a separate lounge for cooler evenings, and a bedroom with its own shower room and toilet. That ground-floor bedroom is a detail worth pausing on. It makes the house genuinely work for mixed-generation groups, guests with mobility considerations, or owners who want the option to use the upstairs rooms purely as a private retreat. Head up the stairs and the character shifts. The first floor has the slightly improvised warmth you only get in converted agricultural buildings — skylights cut into the roof, dormer windows framing sections of the surrounding countryside, ceiling lines that aren't quite parallel. There's a large double bedroom, another bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom and toilet, an additional room that could easily become a study or a fourth sleeping space, and a separate WC.

Sunday morning in Civray. The market on the Place du Champ de Foire is already humming—local farmers setting up stalls of Charentais melons, rounds of chèvre, and bottles of Pineau des Charentes—and from the veranda of this town house, the soft green sweep of the valley rolls out in front of you with not a single rooftop to interrupt it. That unobstructed view across the Charente river valley is the first thing people notice. It tends to be the thing they remember longest. Civray sits in the Vienne department, right at the southern edge of the old Poitou-Charentes region, a part of France that doesn't make it onto postcards as often as it should. That's quietly a selling point. Property prices remain grounded compared to the Dordogne or the Loire Valley, the countryside is genuinely unspoiled, and the rhythms of daily French life here feel real rather than performed for tourists. The boulangerie on Rue du Marché opens at 7am and runs out of croissants by 9. The café on the square fills up after noon with regulars who have been having lunch there for thirty years. It's that kind of town. The house itself sits in a calm residential pocket just a short walk from all of those shops and cafés—close enough to grab a baguette without getting in the car, far enough that the street outside is quiet. It's been renovated to a solid standard and is genuinely move-in ready, something that matters more than it sounds when you're buying from abroad. No surprise works to commission before you can turn the key. The heat pump, double glazing, and full renovation are already done, and the energy bills reflect it—this is a low-consumption home with a GHG rating of B, which is genuinely rare in French residential stock of this age. The li ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen door on a July morning, coffee in hand, and look out across half an acre of enclosed garden as the Périgord hills roll away in every direction. The swimming pool catches the early light. Somewhere down the lane, the boulangerie on the village square is pulling its first trays. This is Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac — and this five-bedroom house on its quiet edge might be one of the most honest opportunities left in the Dordogne. Honest, because it doesn't pretend to be finished. The 1960s-built house, spread across 167 square metres of living space, needs updating throughout — new bathrooms, fresh interiors, modernised finishes. But the bones are solid, the layout is generous, and the plot is extraordinary. At just over 2,300 square metres, the fully enclosed garden wraps around the property with far-reaching views that no renovation budget can buy. The eight-by-four-metre pool and paved terrace are already in place. You're not starting from scratch; you're putting your own stamp on something with real foundations. The ground floor sets the tone. The sitting room stretches to 20 square metres, anchored by a stone fireplace fitted with a wood burner — the kind of thing you fire up in October when the chestnut trees along the D6 start turning amber and the evenings get that particular Dordogne chill. Original wooden floors run through the sitting room, dining room, and kitchen, giving the whole floor a warmth that modern builds rarely manage. The 16-square-metre dining room is big enough for the kind of meals that go on for three hours. The kitchen opens directly onto the garden. There's a ground-floor WC and a study that could just as easily become a snug or a work-from-home room. Upstairs, the ... click here to read more
