5 Bedroom Farmhouse: 325,500 (EUR)

FULLY RENOVATED STONE FARMHOUSE AND CONVERTED BARN IN 1.3 HECTARES OF GROUNDS - AVEYRON.

This is a property with immense charm, ideal for someone seeking complete peace, surrounded by exceptionally beautiful and unspoilt countryside less than half an hour away from Rodez.

It is located at the end of a chemin rural and has recently been restored to meet an architect’s highest standards, using the best materials notably a fully insulated new lauze roof. The property consists of an old stone farmhouse and independent barn with linking terrace in grounds of about 1,3 hectares with an old secadou (stone cabin once used for drying chestnuts).

In front of the house there are steps leading up to a terrace, which links the house to the converted barn and provides a pleasant outdoor living area with a lovely view across the orchard and over the valley to distant hills.

On the ground floor of the house is a garage, wine cellar and a laundry room fitted with two large sinks, plumbing for a washing machine, and the hot water cylinder.

On the first floor you have a living room (5,5 x 7,7m) with a large open fireplace, a new oak floor, and exposed ceiling beams. There is an old vaulted stone souillarde of 2,1 x 1,7m with terre cuite tiling and its original stone fittings.

The Kitchen (3 x 3,85m) is accessed from the living room, and has a double glazed door to the garden. It is fully fitted with high quality fitted cupboards with polished oak worktops and a gas/electric oven, ceramic sink, and a refrigerator.

Guest Bedroom (3 x 4,57m) has original floorboards, and an adjacent but separate bathroom with bath, toilet, basin and a small back hall with an exit to the garden.

An oak staircase leads from the living room to the second floor where a landing leads to the following rooms:

Large bedroom (5,9 x 4m), a delightful large room with exposed beams and stone walls.

Small bedroom (3,6 x 2,4m) with door leading out to higher garden terrace.

A bathroom with the highest quality fittings and tiling comprising a bath with shower, basin and toilet.

The barn (70m2 in total) is arranged open plan style on three levels linked by open staircases with many large double-glazed windows giving plenty of light. It provides flexible living accommodation, currently sleeping four people with a study and two sitting areas. It has tiled floors on the lower level and chestnut floors on the two upper levels. The top level or mezzanine is supported on a structure of oak posts and beams. The lower level has a door from the garden, the middle level has door and stairs to the terrace, and the upper level has a door directly to the upper garden. The middle floor has a wood burning stove which heats the upper two floors.

There is a large bathroom on the ground floor with mosaic floor and wall tiles, a bath and basin, and separate toilet. There is also a storeroom and a door from the hallway out to the lower garden. The storeroom has a ceramic sink and the hot water cylinder, and could easily be converted to a kitchen to make the barn completely independent.
