This is an excellent opportunity to acquire a property with excellent living accommodation and the opportunity to develop a Gite/B&B business if required. The loose boxes in the barns, together with available acreage, offer the potential for equestrian holidays and other pursuits, including fishing, perhaps, depending upon the suitability of the lakes. Alternatively (or in addition) some of the barn space could be converted to create more accommodation, in order to create a substantial gite complex.
