Property Description

The property is a detached 2-storey barn, believed to be over 100 years old, which was originally converted in 2005. 

GROUND FLOOR

From the half-glazed front door, you enter an open-plan lounge/kitchen area, tiled throughout. The lounge has a window overlooking the terrace and field. The lounge leads past a spiral staircase to the ground-floor shower room and bedroom. There is a door from this bedroom that leads into the barn storage area.

FIRST FLOOR

The spiral staircase leads to an office area on the first floor, which could be used as another bedroom. In this room, there is a wooden staircase to a mezzanine area which in the past has been used as a sleeping area.

From this room is a door leading to the main bedroom and another door leading to the first floor of the barn storage area which measures 20 square metres ( 5.3 metres x 3.7 metres ). Currently, this is purely a floor area but could easily be converted to another bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.The first-floor bedroom measures 18 square metres, ( 5.5 metres by 3.30 metres ) with a south-facing window with a lovely view of trees and fields.  Off the bedroom is a glazed door leading to a bathroom measuring 7 square metres ( 3.3 metres x 2.1 metres ) The bathroom comprises a corner double bath, separate shower, toilet and washbasin.

FRONT TERRACE AND GARDEN

Pedestrian access to the front of the barn is via gates which open onto a pebbled south-facing terrace which benefits from sunshine almost all day. There are numerous places on the terrace for sun loungers, as well as tables and chairs for alfresco dining. This terrace, via stone steps, leads down to a gravelled area with a rustic carport with covered space for 3 vehicles. In the gravelled parking area, there is ample space for more vehicles. Vehicles can access the carport and general parking area via wooden gates from a small pebbled driveway off the road. 
This area leads onto the property's grassed field with several fruit trees including cherry, plum and apple. The field then leads to a neighbour's vineyard and wood beyond. This field is bordered to the left by a wood with a "chemin rural", ( a communal footpath ), in between. 
To the right of the field is a row of trees separating the field from an agricultural field used for growing various crops.

GROUND FLOOR BARN STORAGE AREA
The undeveloped part of the ground floor barn area measures 8.20 metres x 4.20 metres ( 34 square metres ) and can be accessed from the kitchen and the ground floor bedroom. There are also two large barn doors which open onto the road at the side of the property. The floor of the barn area is concreted.
