Renovated Renaissance Village Cottage in Charroux, Auvergne

This property composed of a main house and an annex, has been a very successful gite for 3 years, so is still in very good condition. If you like old stones and all the charm of 500 years of history, this village cottage should be of interest.

It was renovated with respect for its age and local traditions and therefore retains all the wonderful details which we fell for originally: oak beams, whitewashed walls, red tiled floors, large stone fireplaces and a garden and large South/West facing terrace.

There are 3 buildings on this property: the main cottage, the annex cottage across the yard and the barn in between. Both cottages have central heating.

The main cottage sleeps 4 and comprises:

Downstairs:

• Living room


• Dining room


• Kitchen - with double height ceiling, large fireplace, glass ceramic stove, oven and dishwasher


• Luxury bathroom with roll-top tub and a walk-in spa shower

Upstairs:

• 2 large double bedrooms

The annex cottage sleeps 2-4 and comprises:

• Lounge - with large fireplace


• Double Bedroom


• Bathroom with shower


• Mezzanine - which can easily be converted into another bedroom 

The barn houses the utility room (washing machine and central heating) and has lots of storage / parking space.

Total: 170 m².

The village of Charroux is a member of the select club of “Plus Beaux Villages de France”, and properties here are becoming harder and harder to come by, especially renovated ones. It is located in the Allier (03), part of the Auvergne region and is only 10 minutes from the A71 motorway, and thus 3.5 hours from Paris and 6 hours from Calais.

This property adjoins a non-renovated cottage of ours (La Maison du Petit Chameau), and it might be of interest to purchase them together.
