Description

Elegant stone farmhouse in the hamlet of Feydols in the beautiful Brezons valley, south Auvergne. This is an area of outstanding natural beauty near the Monts du Cantal, with unspoilt villages, fine old churches and traditional festivals and markets. From Feydols you can walk straight into lovely wooded valleys and climb to upland pastures with spectacular views. Nearby there is a golf-course, boating, fishing, swimming, and cross-country skiing, with very reasonably-priced downhill skiing just 45 minutes away. The region produces Cantal cheese, fine beef and charcuterie; the local restaurants serve generous menus of traditional dishes. There are very few foreign tourists. The house dates from 1888 and has its original stone roof-tiles (lauzes). It faces south/south-west and gets good light indoors. The interior has very fine oak panelling and exposed beams. There is a private spring as well as mains water. Indoor floor area 200 m2. Garden and land 3309 m2. Large barn (25 m long), suitable for later development into a self-contained gîte or business premises, currently leased to a farmer. Outhouse (former pig-sty). Ground floor front: large living room with well-proportioned windows giving good light; original kitchen with dresser and cupboards set in the oak panelling, big open fireplace, bread oven and stone sink (souillarde). Ground floor rear: larder & pantry adjoining the kitchen; passage running the length of the house; stairs to cellar; WC. Wooden staircase with finely-detailed bannister leading from front door to first floor. First floor front: master bedroom with curtained alcove for double bed; second bedroom with fireplace. Both rooms are oak-panelled and have well-proportioned windows. First floor rear: third bedroom; bathroom; separate WC; small kitchen. Second floor: attic space the whole length of the house, suitable for conversion to bedrooms, playroom, office or studio. The house needs rewiring and some modernisation. Easy access to motorway A75 at Saint Flour (40 kms), and airports at Rodez (90 kms) and Clermont Ferrand (140 kms). Mobile tradesmen call at Feydols several times a week. 2 restaurants in nearby village Saint-Martin-sous-Vigouroux (2 kms).
