This property is a rare find, offering the potential to create Gites and/or Chambres d'Hote together with scope to use the space for a gallery, antiques, retail, equestrian uses or redevelopment. There is a spacious Farmhouse, parts of which are over 400 years old, together with various outbuildings and several acres of land, within which is the potential not only to redevelop existing buildings but to create new units if required.  The vendors have sympathetically improved areas of the property over the past five years and there is still work to be carried out, allowing the new owners to stamp their identity on the property.  The property can be sold as a whole or in several lots. 

 

THE FARMHOUSE

The ground floor has for the greater part been renovated but still requires some rewiring, together with new plumbing.  Vendors have sunk a new septic tank but the soak away still needs to be created - vendors are still using the old septic tank which is currently problem free but in need of replacing.  On the first floor there are at present 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom plus an open area in which 3 more bedrooms and 2 more bathroom/dressing rooms are planned.  The first floor is habitable but really needs to be gutted and replanned.  In the meantime it would be possible to use one of the ground floor rooms as a bedroom.
