Behind the main house is the smaller barn which has full planning permission to be made into a 3 bedroom property.
Separating the second barn from the main house are a row of trees making it very private, this has full planning for a 4 bedroom house and it has a slate roof, there is also parking space either to the rear of the house or in front.
The third barn over looks a valley with a stream along the properties boundary. It has full planning for a 5 bedroom house and has a tiled roof. It also has planning permission for approx a half an acre lake.
This property is a great business opportunity as well as a fantastic family home. The main house lends itself nicely to being run as a Bed and Breakfast, and as the barns all have full planning permission with drawings they are ready to start work on straight away. They will make great Gites in lovely peaceful surroundings and yet close to shops and local attractions perfect for relaxing holidays.
This truly is a beautiful house which has been restored and decorated using only the highest quality of materials, and apart from the barns there is no work at all to do apart from unpack, open a bottle of wine and enjoy the piece and surroundings.
There is the option to purchase at a price to be negotiated with the vendors some of the furniture.
There are no estate agent fees to add on as this is a private sale, however you will need to remember Notaires fees.
