This magnificent 17th century old house, dating from the time of King Louis XIV, in 1676, has been tastefully and stylishly modernised to preserve its original characteristics. It is a house with a history, the residence of the king's notary, then after 1789 during the French Revolution becoming a stagecoach relay and later a mansion. Its original 17th century tower, is of a typical, substantial, stone construction for its era and region and contains a bread oven and tart oven.
More recently modernised, it is now a comfortable 3-4 bedroom property with various options for extending for a larger extended-family or to create an income from a separate gîte.
From the spacious entrance hall, with original oak stairway, the ground floor includes a large living room with integrated wood burner, heating this room, along with 3 bedrooms on the 1st floor. A family sized, fitted kitchen/diner is to the right of the hall, which also has an integrated wood burner, with a storage area and shower to the rear, and office or downstairs bedroom to the right. A laundry area and WC are conveniently placed behind the stairwell. Two vaulted cellars complement the ground floor.
Upstairs, on the first landing, a bathroom and WC, and off the second landing, 3 large bedrooms, which would be more convenient as a day room, with 2 bedrooms, one of which is the upper floor of the tower. To the other side of the landing, a large, beautiful, authentic room, which has yet to be modenised, but has electricity and a magnificent original granite fireplace and would be perfect as a large parental room, with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom.
Outside, and behind, the garden is large, with established shrubs and rows of fruit trees, has a lovely, crafted well, a small building with dove-cote, storage areas, and a large, stone built building, currently used as wood-store, but as planning permission is already in place, this could convert to make a grannie-annexe or gîte, with separate entrance. There is also planning permission on the land which would allow the creation of a swimming pool. A private garage is opposite the house.
