Centre Winegrowers' Houses
These winegrowers' houses are typical from the Centre region of France. They are ideal large wood and stone properties if you are looking for a house with B and B potential. They are also typically French, that obviously come with lots of charm.
Winegrowers' houses are properties made of stone, but wood is massively used, notably inside the house. Beams are exposed inside the house. A large stone chimney generally takes place in the living room. The ceiling, stairs and many other parts of the house like the pieces of furniture are made of wood.
Top Tip!
Large hallways leading to cool cellars have often been converted into refined, very large dining or reception rooms.
These Centre properties obviously have narrow links with the neighbouring vineyards, not only because they are located in the middle of winegrowing areas, but also because the whole house is dedicated to the production of wine.

These traditional French houses often have a bread oven attached to them, in its original state or restored. You could use it and share a part of ancient France traditions.
The house itself is generally pretty long, and it is not rare to see a Centre winegrower’s house having 3 or 4 chimneys. The roof is generally steeply pitched, and outside stairs allow access to the first floor. In many modern properties though, the stairs are now inside the house.
