• Bedrooms: 6

Built in 1647 this beautifully restored stone farm house is currently being run as a very successful gîte business. The reason is easy to see, there are 6 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, separate lounge, dining room and kitchen plus a large below ground swimming pool (enclosed to conform with French regulations), and games room. It is situated on the edge of a small picturesque hamlet with its own church where only stone buildings in keeping with the area are allowed. The games room is situated in the barn attached to the building this could be converted into a one bedroom house if the owners wished to live on the premises. This is an excellent investment opportunity and is for sale as a going concern or would make a lovely family home. Close to the market town of Merland, with all amenities plus restaurants and bars.
