This restored 18th-century coaching inn is a three-bedroom house for sale in Corrèze, in the village of Segonzac, with a stone barn and 5,864 m² of land. Inside, a dining room fireplace and a multi-fuel stove in the living room set the tone for the 155 m² of living space. The restoration used quality natural materials and kept the character of the old building. The outbuildings give you room for projects of your own. ### Inside the Former Coaching Inn The ground floor is organised around the kitchen and dining room. The fitted kitchen opens straight onto the dining room, where a fireplace anchors the space. Think long lunches in autumn with the fire lit and the door to the garden left ajar. Next door, the living room has a multi-fuel fireplace, so winter evenings are covered. There are three bedrooms. The master has its own en-suite shower room. Two further bedrooms share a separate shower room with WC, and there is also a second WC with a washbasin. A pantry takes care of storage for the kitchen. The windows are double-glazed aluminium, and fibre-optic internet is already installed. That matters if you plan to work remotely for part of the year. Above, the large attic is described as suitable for conversion. It could become extra bedrooms or a studio, subject to the usual structural checks and planning permission. ### Barn, Bread Oven and Vaulted Cellar on 5,864 m² The land is where this house stands apart from a typical village home. A 127 m² stone barn with a tiled roof stands nearby. It is a solid base for a workshop, covered storage, guest accommodation or a hobby space, depending on what you need and what permissions allow. Former stone pigsties of about 36 m² and a traditional bread oven add to the group of ... click here to read more

This 4-bedroom house for sale in Dordogne stands in Busserolles, minutes from Lake Grolhier, with 240 m² of living space and 7,300 m² of land. It is a stone house with a big fitted kitchen, a 54 m² living room and a quiet wooded plot inside the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park, priced at 336,200 EUR. The rooms are generous, the layout is easy to follow, and the grounds give you real privacy. Here is how it works day to day. ### The House: 240 m² of Stone, Beams and Chestnut Parquet You enter through a large, bright hall. To one side is the main living room, 54 m² with chestnut parquet, exposed beams and a fireplace fitted with a wood-burning stove. The stove also feeds the central heating, so on a cold Limousin-border evening it does the work of a boiler as well as being the focal point of the room. On the other side of the hall, a second room with its own wood-burning stove can serve as an office, a library or a small sitting room. The fitted kitchen measures 36 m² and opens straight onto an enclosed private courtyard. A pantry and a guest WC sit next to it. That is the layout for a long breakfast that turns into lunch. One bedroom is on the ground floor, next to a shower room with shower cubicle, washbasin and WC. That is handy for guests, for older relatives, or for anyone who would rather avoid stairs. Upstairs, the master suite covers about 34 m² and includes a dressing room and a private bathroom with bath, shower, washbasin and WC. Two further bedrooms and a family shower room complete the floor. The house has double glazing throughout. Besides the wood-fired heating, a reversible air-to-air heat pump provides heating in winter and cooling in summer. ### Outdoor Space: Courtyard, Terraces and 7,300 m ... click here to read more

This 4-bedroom house for sale in Charente sits a few minutes from La Rochefoucauld and gives you 210 m² of living space on a 1,128 m² plot. The village is Rouzède, a quiet commune in rolling countryside where the day starts with birdsong rather than traffic. The house is in good condition and priced at 263,700 EUR. Most of the bedrooms are on the ground floor, which makes it easy to live in all year round. It also works well as a second home you can lock up and leave. ### Inside the House: Four Bedrooms and a Mezzanine The main living room has large bay windows that open onto a covered terrace and the garden. In the evening you can switch to the lounge, where a fireplace with a wood-burning insert makes the room worth gathering in from autumn through spring. The kitchen is fully equipped and opens onto a large dining room, so whoever is cooking stays in the conversation. Three bedrooms are on the ground floor. The master suite has its own bathroom. There is also a family shower room and a separate WC. The fourth bedroom has an en-suite shower room, which suits visiting friends, grown-up children or paying guests who want some privacy. Upstairs, a mezzanine gives you a spot for reading or a desk for remote work, with the rest of the house still within earshot. ### Garden, Terrace and Jacuzzi The plot covers 1,128 m² and the private garden looks out over open views, with nothing built up in front of you. Coffee on the covered terrace is the obvious way to start a summer morning, and the property also has a balcony. A 6-person Jacuzzi is there for year-round use, and it is just as good on a cold January evening as in August. Solar panels were installed recently, which should help with running costs in a house of this ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Corrèze comes with a heated pool, two rented apartments and a 720 m² stable on 2.7 hectares near Pompadour. It is a working property rather than a quiet country cottage: a three-bedroom family house, two apartments already let, big stone outbuildings and room for horses, all on one detached plot in the Limousin countryside. ### A Rural Property with Rental Units Already in Place Most houses in this price range give you a roof and a garden. This one gives you a small estate. Besides the main house there are two separate two-room apartments, both currently rented out, so part of the property is already being used commercially. Anyone thinking about guest accommodation, a gîte-style business or a family compound will find the groundwork laid. The setting is detached, with meadow on every side. Don't expect neighbours looking over the hedge. Expect the sound of the paddock in the morning and a long drive back to the road in the evening. ### The Main House: 122 m² and Three Bedrooms The house itself is in good condition and has 122 m² of living space. Downstairs you come into an entrance hall, then a fitted kitchen and a large living room. There is also a separate office, which is useful now that so many buyers work remotely from their second home. A shower room with WC, a laundry room and a pantry complete the ground floor. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a bathroom with WC. The practical details matter here. Solar panels supply electricity to the property, fibre-optic internet is available, and the septic system is compliant. Those are the three things that most often cause trouble with rural French houses, and here they are already sorted. Outside, a 9 m by 4 m heated swimming pool with a cove ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom house for sale in Haute-Vienne, near Château-Chervix, stands beside its own 3,070 m² spring-fed lake on 3.36 hectares. Woodland closes in around the plot, a private driveway is the only way in, and the nearest neighbour is more than 250 metres away. It is a lake house in Limousin for buyers who want silence, space and water on their own land, with a home that is already in good condition. ### The House: 84 m² Over a Full Basement The driveway passes a small stone-built cottage of one room before reaching the main house. Inside, the ground floor has an entrance hall, a WC and a single open-plan space for living, dining and cooking. A wood burning stove sits in that room, and French doors open onto a large stone terrace. Morning coffee there comes with a view straight over the lake. Upstairs are the three bedrooms. The house has one bathroom and a balcony, and the living area totals 84 m². That is modest by French country-house standards, but the space around the house makes up for it. Underneath is a full basement. It holds a garage, workshop and storage area, and there is a second garage under the terrace. A carport attached to the house takes two vehicles. Anyone with tools, bikes, a boat or a hobby that needs room will find plenty of it here. ### The Lake, Woods and Meadow The lake covers 3,070 m² and is fed by a spring. The plot as a whole is 33,641 m², a mix of open meadow and woodland, so you get both sunny space and shade. A hangar of about 30 m² gives you extra covered storage for a tractor, mower or firewood. The agent describes the lake as up to standard for use as a fishing lake. That makes the property interesting for a small fishing-holiday venture, or simply for a private pond to fish ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Puymoyen sits at the end of a cul-de-sac, a few minutes from Angoulême, on a 1,630 m² plot that could be divided. Living on one level matters more than it sounds. There are no stairs to climb with the shopping, it suits older relatives, and it is easy to lock up and leave for a few weeks. At 131 m² this is a family-size home, and at €251,300 it comes with far more land than most houses near a city of this size. ### The House: 131 m² on One Level The living space is generous. A separate living room and a lounge mean one can be the everyday room while the other stays quiet for guests or evenings with a book. The kitchen is fitted, so you can move in without a first-week shopping list of appliances. Three bedrooms share a shower room, with a separate WC. The insulated, tiled garage is the flexible space. It could become a fourth bedroom or a home office, which is useful if you work remotely or want a guest room with its own door. As with any conversion, check the planning rules with the local mairie before you commit. The practical work has been done. The windows are double glazed throughout, a heat pump was installed recently, and the house is connected to mains drainage, so there is no septic tank to inspect or maintain. ### The Garden, Double Garage and a Possible Second Plot The garden is large and fully enclosed, so children and dogs can run free without you checking the gate. There is room for a vegetable patch, a terrace for long lunches, or all of it left as lawn. A detached double garage gives you covered parking for two cars, or a workshop and storage for garden tools and bikes. The plot is also a possibility. The seller points out that it could be split in two, with tw ... click here to read more

On a still morning in Castelsagrat, the mist sits low in the valleys below and the only sound from the terrace is birdsong and the distant clank of a cowbell drifting up from the fields. You're holding coffee, the stone barbecue is still warm from last night, and the countryside rolls out ahead of you in every direction. This is what drew people to this corner of Tarn-et-Garonne long before the rest of the world caught on. This 19th-century stone house sits just outside one of the most quietly compelling villages in the department — a place with a proper boulangerie, a café where the locals actually linger, and a rhythm of life that feels deliberately unhurried. At 110 square metres across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, it's the kind of house that works hard in all seasons. The walls are thick, the floors are tiled, and the sitting room log burner throws enough heat to make February evenings genuinely cosy rather than something to endure. Step inside and the character hits you immediately. Exposed stone, original beams overhead, and a country kitchen that's made for slow cooking — the sort of room where someone inevitably ends up opening a second bottle of wine because the cassoulet needs another hour. The layout is practical without being clinical. The large storage rooms running off the main living space are a genuine opportunity: convert them into a guest annex, a home office, or additional accommodation for rental income. The bones are there; it just needs a vision and a builder. No close neighbours. That's not a throwaway phrase here — it genuinely means you can open every window on a summer night, eat dinner outside at ten o'clock, and not worry about a soul. The terrace is large enough to matter, with a buil ... click here to read more

Saturday morning, and the smell of buckwheat crêpes drifts out from a van at Loudéac's market — you grab a coffee from a café table, watch the cheese seller argue cheerfully with a regular, and think: this is yours now. Twelve minutes from here, back down the country road toward La Prénessaye, the garden is waiting. This is the kind of place that people who know Brittany look for, and rarely find at this price. A solid four-bedroom cottage sitting on just over an acre of land in the Côtes-d'Armor, with the Voie Verte greenway literally three minutes on foot from the front door. That detail matters more than you might think. The Voie Verte — a converted railway line turned cycling and walking trail — cuts through some of the most quietly dramatic countryside in central Brittany. You can be on it before your morning coffee has cooled. The house itself is spread across three floors, with 127 square metres of habitable space that feels bigger than it sounds. Rooms are generous and properly proportioned — the kind of proportions French rural houses do well, where ceilings are high enough that you don't feel compressed on a grey autumn afternoon. Natural light moves through the spaces throughout the day. The fitted kitchen is modern and functional, the two bathrooms are in good order, and there's a living room with a wood-burner that makes November feel like an event rather than something to endure. Two reception rooms give you flexibility — a reading room, a playroom for the grandchildren, a home office for those who still need to keep one foot in the working world. Practical updates have already been handled. New windows throughout, a new septic tank installed, and the property is well insulated — which in rural Brittany ... click here to read more

Saturday morning in Nans-les-Pins starts with the smell of warm bread drifting from the boulangerie on Rue de la Mairie, the distant thwack of a golf shot from the fairway beyond the treeline, and a coffee on your own sun-soaked terrace while the Massif de la Sainte-Baume glows gold above the village. This is not a postcard. This is Tuesday. This is your ordinary life, if you own this three-bedroom house at Le Jardin du Golf. Set on a generous 859 m² plot within one of Provence's most quietly coveted residential estates, this detached two-storey home gives you 130 m² of well-maintained living space and a wraparound garden that earns its keep across every season. The lavender hums with bees in July. By October, the oaks are copper and the air has that dry, resinous edge that Provence does better than anywhere in Europe. You don't need to be here full-time to feel like you belong here — but you'll want to be. The layout is genuinely practical, which matters more than most listings admit. Downstairs, the main living area is broad and light-filled, with large doors that fold open onto the garden so the inside and outside stop feeling like separate decisions. The kitchen sits directly off the living room — no awkward corridor, no shouting through walls when dinner's almost ready. Critically for anyone hosting older relatives or guests who'd rather skip the stairs, there's a full bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. That's a flexibility that most houses this size don't offer, and it extends the usability of the property across generations. Upstairs, two further bedrooms share a landing bathroom and both get good morning light. One works naturally as the main bedroom, the other as a guest room or home office — the kind ... click here to read more

Sunday morning. You're standing on the covered terrace with a coffee, watching mist lift off the Corrèze hills, the silence broken only by birdsong and the distant toll of bells from the village church. The southeast-facing garden is already catching the early sun. This is not a fantasy—it's a Tuesday in July at Route de Bernoux, and it happens to be yours. Chauffour-sur-Vell sits in one of France's least-discovered corners, and that's exactly the point. The Corrèze département doesn't chase tourists. It doesn't need to. The rolling green hills, the walnut orchards, the limestone villages with their rust-red rooftops—this is the France that most people only read about in novels. And this four-bedroom detached house, set on just over 4,100 square metres of garden, drops you right into the middle of it. The house itself is solid. Double cavity walls, double glazing, an insulated roof—the bones are there, and the condition is genuinely good. You're not walking into a renovation project that quietly reveals a decade of surprises. At 161 square metres of living space spread across three levels, there's room to breathe, room to host, and room to carve out your own daily rhythms without bumping into anyone else. Walk in through the entrance hall and you land in the main living room, anchored by an open fireplace. Come November, when the Corrèze rains roll in and the chestnut trees strip bare, that fireplace isn't decorative—it's the reason everyone ends up on that sofa. The adjoining kitchen handles the everyday: meal prep, morning coffee, the chaos of a family breakfast. One bedroom and a bathroom sit on this floor too, which matters if you ever want to host guests or family members who'd rather avoid stairs. Upstairs, two ... click here to read more

Stand on the kitchen terrace on a Tuesday morning and you can already smell the bread from the boulangerie two streets down in Cerdon. The hills of the Ain department roll away in front of you — forested ridges, limestone cliffs, the faint shimmer of the Rhône valley glinting somewhere between the trees. This isn't a postcard. It's Tuesday. This is just what it looks like from your terrace. Set in the hills above the small town of Cerdon in the Ain department of Rhône-Alpes, this seven-bedroom stone house sits on 2,408 square metres of land and spreads across 288 square metres of living space. At 359,000 euros, that works out to considerably less per square metre than comparable properties in the Dordogne or Provence — and the lifestyle on offer here is arguably richer. The Ain has a way of flying under the radar, which suits its residents just fine. The house itself is built in the sturdy local style — thick stone walls that keep rooms cool in July and hold heat through the sharp November nights. Step inside and the layout reveals a property that has been genuinely thought through for real life, not just for a sales brochure. The ground floor holds the main living quarters: a 26-square-metre sitting room, a generous dining room just over 20 square metres, a fitted kitchen with direct access to the terrace, a bedroom, a dressing room, and a shower room. The entrance hall alone runs to nearly 29 square metres, which sets the tone — this is not a house where you're squeezing past each other. Upstairs, six more bedrooms fan out across the landing, ranging from a cosy 10 square metres to a proper 19.5-square-metre room that could easily become a guest suite with its own character. There's a second shower room and a separa ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in Cheilly-les-Maranges moves at its own pace. The kitchen window is open, coffee is on, and through the covered terrace door you can already smell the damp earth rising off the vines on the hillside not 200 meters away. This is Burgundy — not the postcard version, the real one — and this 1800s stone house sits right in the middle of it. Built when Napoleon III was still rearranging Europe, this four-bedroom home on a generous 1,508 square meter enclosed plot has grown into its age gracefully. The bones are solid, the proportions are generous, and the condition throughout is genuinely good — no gutting required, no years of project-managing contractors from abroad. You arrive, you unpack, and you start living. That's rarer than it sounds at this price point in the Côte de Beaune. The ground floor opens into a 30-square-meter living room with the kind of ceiling height that makes you instinctively exhale. The equipped kitchen — 10.6 square meters, compact but well-organized — connects directly to the covered terrace. That terrace is going to become your default dining room from April through October. Lunch under the overhang when it rains, dinner outside when the evenings stretch golden and warm. The 15-square-meter office sits off the main hall, making this a genuinely workable remote working base, not just a holiday fantasy. Fast rural internet has come a long way in Saône-et-Loire. Upstairs, the four bedrooms range from 13 to 18 square meters — real rooms, not glorified cupboards. One comes with its own en-suite shower room. The additional full bathroom and two separate WCs mean four adults sharing the house can actually manage mornings without negotiation. The garage and outbuildings out back give yo ... click here to read more

Early on a Tuesday morning in Saint-Cernin-de-Labarde, the only sounds are wood pigeons in the oak trees and the faint clang of the Issigeac market setting up four kilometres down the road. You could be drinking coffee on your terrace, looking out over 14,195 square metres of your own land, watching the mist burn off the Périgord hills. That is not a fantasy. That is an ordinary Tuesday when you own this house. Built in 2013, this timber-frame property sits at the quiet edge of a small village, positioned almost exactly between Issigeac and Villeréal—two of the most historically rich towns in the Dordogne. The house is not old and crumbling and romantic in the way that requires a decade of renovation money. It is well-constructed, energy-efficient, and genuinely move-in ready. That matters more than people admit until they've spent a summer watching contractors not show up. The ground floor has a proper layout for real life. A living room that gets afternoon light, a kitchen set up for people who actually cook—not a show kitchen, but a professional-style space with the counter room and equipment to handle a big family lunch or a dinner party of eight. There is a bedroom and shower room at ground level, which means guests or elderly family members never have to deal with stairs. The large reception room is separate enough to feel like its own world—good for a home office, a studio, a music room, or simply a space where teenagers can disappear and leave the adults in peace. Upstairs, four rooms including two bedrooms and an attic give you the flexibility to configure the space around however your life actually runs. The basement deserves a mention because in this part of France, a good basement is genuinely useful. Car ... click here to read more

Sunday morning in the Charente countryside sounds different from anywhere else in France. The birds start before the light does, and by the time you've made coffee and pushed open the terrace doors, there's nothing between you and a wide green horizon except your own 7,000 square metres of garden, a few oaks, and the distant church tower of Mansle catching the early sun. That's the daily reality of this four-bedroom house just outside Mansle-les-Fontaines — a genuinely well-built contemporary home from the early 2000s that's been looked after with real care, set in a quiet hamlet a couple of kilometres from everything you actually need. Let's talk about the space first, because 160 square metres of living area spread thoughtfully across two floors makes this feel like a proper family home rather than a weekend squeeze. The ground floor revolves around a 40-square-metre living and dining room that gets generous natural light throughout the day. It's the kind of room that naturally absorbs a family gathering — long lunches that drift into afternoons, kids spread across the floor, someone always in the kitchen. That kitchen, at 19 square metres, is large enough to be genuinely functional, not just a gesture toward cooking. Three bedrooms sit on the ground floor too, alongside a bathroom, a separate WC, and a pantry and laundry room that handles all the practical business of a real home. Head upstairs and there's a fourth room currently working as a bedroom or office, with its own private shower room and toilet — ideal for older kids, guests who want independence, or anyone who needs a quiet corner away from the rest of the house. The underfloor heating on the ground floor is worth pausing on. It's the kind of detail that ... click here to read more

Stand on the terrace on a July evening and you'll understand immediately why the French have always built their finest houses on hills. The Aude valley spreads out below in bands of gold and green — sunflower fields giving way to vineyards, then the jagged silhouette of the Pyrenees catching the last of the light. A glass of Blanquette de Limoux in hand, the bubbles still sharp and cold, the smell of lavender drifting up from the garden. This is not a fantasy sequence from a travel magazine. This is Tuesday. This four-bedroom villa sits at one of the highest residential addresses above Limoux, in France's Languedoc-Roussillon region, and the position alone justifies serious attention. But the house itself earns that attention right back. Three levels of generous, well-proportioned living space — around 186 square metres in total — have been laid out with real intelligence. The heart of the home is a single open-plan space that runs to over 60 square metres, pulling together the sitting room, dining area and kitchen into one fluid room without sacrificing any sense of definition between them. Large glazed doors open directly onto the views. On a clear morning, with coffee on the go and those panoramas unfolding through the glass, it's hard to think of a better argument for a second home in France. A bedroom and bathroom sit on the same main level, which matters more than it sounds — it means the house works for guests who don't want to navigate stairs, or for those weeks when you simply want everything within reach. The first floor adds further bedrooms and a second bathroom, giving the layout real flexibility for families or groups. Below, the lower ground floor is the kind of practical bonus that experienced property ... click here to read more

Stand at the kitchen window on a November morning and watch mist roll off the wooded acres behind the stone walls, curling around the old longère like smoke. The fire's already been lit — the cast-iron stove in the living room takes the edge off fast — and the only sound is the distant caw of rooks settling in the tree line. This is Ménéac, deep-green Brittany, and this place is the kind of property that stops serious buyers mid-scroll. Set in a small hamlet just 2.1 kilometres from the village of Ménéac itself, this substantial granite house sits on roughly 6.3 hectares of mixed land, part cultivated, part wooded. It's been divided into two fully independent dwellings — a detail that changes everything about how you might use it. One wing for your family, one for guests, rental income, or an elderly relative who wants proximity without sacrifice of privacy. The arithmetic of that arrangement is immediately appealing for anyone buying a second home in France who wants flexibility without compromising the experience of actually being there. The main dwelling opens at ground level into a living room anchored by an open fireplace paired with a wood-burning stove — two heat sources, which tells you something about how the previous owners felt about Breton winters. Through from there, a fitted kitchen and laundry room keep the practical side of things contained, along with a ground-floor toilet. Head upstairs and you get a bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, a second family bathroom, a further bedroom, and a room currently used as an office but easily repurposed. The second dwelling mirrors this layout almost exactly: a living room with fireplace and stove, a kitchen-dining room (combined this time, which most families ... click here to read more

On a Sunday morning in Guern, the only sounds are the wind moving through the old oak at the edge of the garden and the distant bell from the village church carrying across the fields. You're standing at the kitchen window of a house that has been standing since 1638, watching mist lift off the Morbihan countryside, and thinking you could get used to this. Really get used to this. This five-bedroom stone property sits just ten minutes from Pontivy, a proper Breton market town with a working canal, a 15th-century château, and Saturday markets where the cheese vendor knows everyone by name. Guern itself is a quiet rural commune — the kind of place where neighbors wave from tractors and the post arrives without fail. At 187 square metres of living space on a landscaped plot of around 2,857 m², this is a genuinely substantial home, not a weekend cottage. It has real scale, real history, and the kind of bones you simply cannot manufacture. The oldest section of the main house traces back nearly four centuries. You feel that age in the best possible way — in the weight of the stone walls, the depth of the window reveals, the massive fireplace that anchors the double-height living room. That fireplace isn't decorative. Light it on a November evening with a bottle of Muscadet and a cassoulet on the hob, and you understand exactly why the French have been doing this for hundreds of years. The living room's unceilinged section creates genuine drama, with the mezzanine above looking down over the space — a reading corner, a desk, a spot for teenagers who want to feel separate without being far away.

Stand on the upper landing on a clear October morning and the Pyrenees are right there — not a distant suggestion, but a full wall of snow-dusted peaks running the entire width of the horizon. That view alone stops people mid-sentence. Add a hectare of land, a pool, a barn with real potential, and a five-minute walk to one of the friendliest village squares in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, and you start to understand why properties like this one in Laàs don't sit on the market for long. Laàs itself is quietly special. It sits in the heart of Béarn, a region that most people outside France haven't quite discovered yet — which is exactly the point. The village has a genuine rhythm to it. On Sunday mornings, the smell of coffee and warm bread drifts out from the boulangerie before eight o'clock. The château de Laàs, a 17th-century manor house with formal French gardens, stands just up the road and opens to visitors through the warmer months. The restaurant near the village centre — and yes, there's one worth going to, not just one that exists — draws locals from across the valley for long Friday lunches that tip over into the early evening without anyone checking their watch. The house itself is spread across 190 square metres and laid out in a way that actually works for family living. Downstairs, the kitchen connects through to a dining room which opens into the living room — the kind of fluid ground floor arrangement that means nobody's stuck in the kitchen alone while everyone else is gathered around the fire. There's also a separate snug, the sort of small room that ends up becoming everyone's favourite: the right size for a book and a glass of Jurançon wine on a winter evening when the mountains turn purple at dusk.

This 1840 house for sale in Charente-Maritime stands in Matha, with 481 m² of living space, a guest house and a walled garden of about 2,500 m². It is a big house, and it was built to be used. Seven bedrooms, four bathrooms and twelve rooms in all give a large family space to spread out, or a sound base for a small guest-accommodation business. The renovation is done and the condition is good, so you would be moving in rather than starting a building project. Wooden floors, fireplaces and old doors from the nineteenth century are still in place. ### The House and Its Walled Garden The main house has 481 m² on its floors. The reception room is accessible for people with reduced mobility, which matters if parents or grandparents will be staying. There is also a games room, a useful place for teenagers or a wet afternoon. The outbuildings add storage and workshop space, and a carport shelters cars and a motorhome. Outside, the enclosed grounds cover about 2,500 m² (2,507 m² on the plot data). A wall surrounds the landscaped garden, so children and dogs have room to play without you worrying about the road. A separate guest house stands in the grounds.
