A village house with good manners Two/three bedrooms · 18th century: stone and half-timbering · Pool · Summer kitchen · landscaped gardens Located in a quiet dead-end street, behind a solid oak entry door and a stone wall topped with wrought-iron balustrades (with no worries of dogs or children escaping), this absolutely charming village house dates from the early 18th century and has been restored with exquisite refinement that gives it the air of a home from another world. The world of interiors, and would probably come with its own cushions. The garden Enter through the oak entrance door into a very well-maintained village garden, a type that takes centuries to develop rather than a few vacation days in a garden. An ancient well and a venerable cedar set the tone, while the annexe houses a summer kitchen with its own terrace, ideal for long al fresco lunches that turn into dinners without anyone noticing. The highlight is a 6 x 6 meter tiled pool, built into the old stone and a true centerpiece. The Ground Floor Inside, stone floors run throughout the floor, accompanied by an abundance of original beams and exposed stone. The interiors are super elegant yet welcoming, starting with a cozy living room ideal for long reading and long conversations. The kitchen is both elegant and high-performing, with marble countertops and a Lacanche gas oven (the kind of thing that makes you enjoy cooking, or at least look like you know how).

On the Ground Floor A oak staircase leads to a wide staircase on the first floor, with half-timbered walls and a full-height ceiling, giving the whole room a wonderful sense of light and volume.

This is exactly where youll want to be, from breakfast time to the last glass of wine. There are two elegant bedrooms, each with a practical private bathroom and air conditioning, so you can sleep peacefully no matter how hot the French summer. The finer details Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort. The finish quality is truly exceptional, from the oak staircase to the gutters and copper pipes. If only everything were as good!. Location Calm, private and full of character, yet only five minutes by car from shops and restaurants.

A viewing is highly recommended.
