Set on a hilltop location with spectacular views over the surrounding countryside, this Maison de Maître (habitable surface area 425m²) has been completely renovated to an extremely high standard.  The imposing main house which was built c1824 has five bedrooms, each with ensuite bathroom, and is set out over three floors.  Despite the impressive nature of the house, it has a very homely, welcoming and relaxed feel about it.  It is also very bright and light, and every single room has beautiful countryside views over rolling hills, woodland and fields.
Forming the L of the house are the barns and chai, which date from c1662, and due to the clever design of the house, part of this space has been converted to create a great split-level kitchen and dining area (so brilliantly done, it looks as though it's always been there), as well as the master bedroom suite.  Therefore if you wanted to create a bed and breakfast business you would still have your own completely private quarters.  You could also extend further into the massive chai and the adjoining barn, giving you a minimum of 240m² of additional space, more if you decided to put in another floor.  The property is situated in a small village, close to Plaisance and Marciac with its famous Jazz Festival.

The property comprises:

Through the double doors of the main house there is a large hall (15m²) with original oak staircase and tiled floor.  To the left is bedroom 1 (22m²) with wood floor and exposed beams, en-suite bathroom (15m²) with wooden floor, claw-foot bath and walk-in shower.  To the right from the hall is the living room (26m²) with tiled floor and arched double doors through to the split level kitchen/dining room (71m²)  The kitchen is fully fitted with large range, double butler sink, two integrated fridges and dishwasher, with tiled floor, exposed beams and fireplace and glass doors lead out onto the courtyard.  From the lower level there is a door through to the Utility room (24m²) which has shelving for storage and door through to the boiler room (15m²).  Shower room and WC.  From the utility area there is a second staircase which leads to the master bedroom suite.  Door through to barn 1.

On the first floor:

The master bedroom (75m²) is private from the other bedrooms of the house and has its own staircase from the utility area.  Exposed beams and floor lighting to illuminate the wood.  The wall overlooking the kitchen has been partially glazed, which adds to the spacious room.  There is a large walk-in wardrobe of (7.5m²) and en-suite bathroom (13.5m²) with claw-foot bath and walk-in shower.

Outbuildings:

There is plenty of scope to extend the house if required, as there are two barns adjoining the house.  The first is 136m² and the second is 103m².  The ceiling height is just over 6.5m² so a first floor could be installed.
