Charming stone house, full of character and history, situated in one of the historic villages of France. A superb holiday rental, or equally a permanent home which is a little different from the norm!

A large stone staircase leads up to the first floor and a covered terrace:

First Floor: Left from the covered terrace

First floor: Right from the covered terrace

• Oak staircase up to 2nd floor:

Second Floor:

• Landing/ lounge area (21m2)
• Staircase up to mezzanine double bedroom (13m2). Double door to Attic&Pigeonnier (59m2) which has the potential (subject to necessary planning consents) to be converted into additional accommodation.
