Main house and gîte
The property has approximately 165 m² of living space and comprises a total of 9 rooms, including 5 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
First floor
Thanks to its location on the first floor, the main house offers a spacious and light living environment. The modern kitchen (21 m²) features a cooking island and high-quality finishes. From the kitchen and living room, double doors provide access to the covered balcony. The living room (23 m²) is light and cosy, partly thanks to the wood-burning stove. There is also a separate dining room (18 m²), which also opens onto the balcony. On this floor, there are three bedrooms of varying sizes, one of which has its own toilet and washbasin. The spacious bathroom is fully equipped with a walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet. From the west-facing terrace, you have a lovely view over the rolling countryside.
Attic The attic is accessible via a loft ladder and offers potential for further conversion. Thanks to the existing roof insulation and a window, part of this space could easily be converted into an extra room, an office or a hobby room.
Gîte on the ground floor
The fully self-contained and recently renovated apartment (gîte) of approximately 60 m² is ideal for letting, as a guest house or for informal care. The fully furnished gîte has its own entrance and terrace on the ground floor. It comprises two bedrooms, a living room with dining area, a modern kitchen with new appliances and a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Central heating ensures optimal comfort.
Furthermore, on the ground floor there is a spacious garage of approximately 70 m² with a sustainable heating system. This system consists of a wood gasification boiler combined with solar panels and a large hot water storage tank, ensuring low energy costs and an environmentally friendly home.
Outdoor space and extras
The plot, measuring no less than 5,292 m², is a true paradise for lovers of peace and space. There is a lovely border at the front, and the garden is at ground level. A large, fully enclosed garden with a lawn, bordered by mature trees, including peach, cherry, walnut, apple, fig, pear and plum trees, and various well-established fruit bushes: redcurrants, blackcurrants, blueberry bushes, gooseberry bushes, as well as borders with raspberry and strawberry plants and various herbs. The garage can therefore be filled with jars of jam, chutneys and fruit juices from the garden.
