This property has been built in the style of an old Longere with exposed beams etc but with all the benifits of a new build.

The House is rendered in a ton peirre colour with hard wood lintels, doors, windows and shutters, all made to measure by a local company. It is built using the highest quality materials and is covered with a Spanish slate roof using stainless steel fittings and zinc guttering. The property is on main drains (something not often found in rural France), mains water, electric and broadband. The central heating is background electric (latest state of the art) and a 16kw wood burner providing an efficient, ambient and economic solution.
The property has two entrances, the main one at the front gives access to a light and spacious hall (12m2) with telephone point (Adsl), plug socket, light and outside light. This leads to the inner hall and 3 bedrooms and family bathroom to the right and then an entrance via an old style cottage wooden door to the kitchen diner. (The second entrance is from the rear under the covered terrace and brings you directly into the utility room (12m2) with stainless steel sink, washing machine, storage cupboard and separate Wc. This in turn gives access via a door to the kitchen.
The Kitchen: (35m2) is in old English pine with fitted wall and floor standing cupboards. It has a 1 1/2 stainless steel sink, dishwasher and extractor hood (exterior extraction) sitting over a 110cm range cooker. This is a large room and enables 8 people to sit in comfort with views via the French windows to the patio and garden. There are numerous low level and worktop level sockets including a 32amp cooker point. The front window looks over the driveway and main entrance.
Lounge: (42m2) From the kitchen dinner is the entrance to the spacious lounge giving an open plan feeling (although double doors could easily be fitted here). It has a 16kw Villager wood burning stove providing ambience and heat for the living areas of the property. The centre of the room is the old slate and granite engraved chimney breast that was salvaged from a local ruin and fitted by a retired stonemason (complete with double stainless steel liner). It really does add to the feeling of old and new that runs throughout the property. It is believed that this chimney could be more than 500 years old and bears the sign of the Knights Templar. The room is fitted with 6 double sockets, an Adsl point, and sky Tv (which is also piped to the kitchen and master bedroom). Again French doors give access to the covered patio area

There is also a store cupboard that houses the hot water cylinder and electric boxes. There is also a separate Wc.
Other Notes: the property was designed and built as a 5/6 bedroomed house but a decision was made to only completely develop the ground floor but at the same time ensuring that when the 1st floor was developed it would be made as easy as possible. For this reason all the electrics, hot and cold water and mains drains have already been installed. This area is 24m x 4m and could be utilised as 2 or 3 ensuite bedrooms and a separate lounge area.
The property is connected to mains drains, electric, water, telephone and Broadband. It comes with the remaining 8 years of a 10 Nhbs guarantee and is built and insulated to the very latest standards.
