TARN NORD-EST (81)

Hidden away in its own little world, this old stone house looks out over woodland and pasture, and most of what you survey comes with the property. It has a wonderfully private feel approached by a private track of about 500 meters, and shielded from the road and the rest of the world by a thick screen of trees.

There is a single building consisting of the original stone house, and a more recent extension, which serves as an office and workshop. The house has been tastefully renovated, and is nice and light with window openings on both elevations. The land consists partly of meadow and partly of oak woodland – perfect for a woodman with horses!

Our opinion :

For those after a private world where sheep may safely graze

A superbly renovated and beautifully presented detached stone farmhouse with 4 bedrooms in a peaceful hamlet. The property comes with 1½ hectares (3¾ acres) of gardens and woodland, a very beautiful ruined stone barn. There is also a small stone outbuilding (originally the bread oven) with water and electricity connected and would make great guest accommodation.

Our opinion :

There are many properties throughout France which have been superbly ‘done up’. Not only has this house been lovingly restored by the owners, everything has been done to a very high standard with the original features retained. There is a great sense of ambience as soon as one enters this lovely house.
