Beautifully Restored Barn in Rural Hamlet

Property Description

A fantastic barn conversion located in a small rural hamlet - perfect location for peace and quiet and no traffic - absolutely private and not overlooked. The hamlet in which this property lies was, for hundreds of years, a working farm and is served by a ‘chemin rural’, the original drive to the farm with vines on either side. The converted barn was one of many outbuildings. As such it is joined at the rear to a neighbour’s property, and is fairly close to the property next door, both original barns. That said, none of the properties overlook each other – the dwellings, patios and terraces are all completely private, as are the pool and garden areas.

The spacious property offers fantastic accommodation with an unbelievable ‘wow’ factor, and has three large bedrooms each of which has en-suite facilities. One bedroom is on the ground floor. There is a huge storage area off the master bedroom which can be used as a dressing room or, with the addition of a Velux, would convert to a fourth bedroom. The open-plan kitchen /lounge/diner leads on to the enclosed courtyard which offers complete privacy, and in turn leads up to the pool with its huge patio and to the garden. All the original features were included in the conversion and stone walls and original beams have been used extensively. There is nothing to do and it can be moved into immediately.

It has been let as a gite for the past several years and has had excellent income – for somebody who wants an investment property the potential gross return could be as much as 10%.

Whether you want a permanent home, a very secure holiday home, or an investment purchase, this is the property for you.
