This house has many hidden treasures. It is ready to move into and live or work from. It is situated on 2000 square metres of land (half an acre) in beautiful countryside with an open field directly to the rear. The house is 4 floors: An attic, a living floor, a cellar and an underground cellar. It is double glazed throughout the living area in genuine oak.

The main area of the house is an eleven meter long room which is the Kitchen, Dining Room and Living Room all in one. It has oak beams throughout along with two giant fireplaces. An internal porch surrounds the front door. Real oak double glazing is throughout the living floor of the house. The kitchen is a fully fitted American style with a breakfast bar.

The cellars include original oak animal troughs. They are currently used as a chicken area and a workshop. These rooms have potential as another living area. There is also a hidden room, on the same level as the cellars which is completely stand-alone. The room has no internal access from the house but is accessed via an external door. It contains a particularly impressive fireplace.

The two underground cellars take up about half of the main house size and are accessed from within the cellar or a trapdoor in the workshop cellar. One was originally used for wine storage and the other may have been a piggery.

The attic is possibly the most impressive feature of the house. It is approximately 10m high with cathedral-like carpentry holding the entire structure together. With the correct planning and execution it could be turned into a dream-like area.

The gardens are half an acre surrounded by a small, fast running, stream.

The house is 1km from a 64 hectare carp lake. The lake has a beach and a restaurant opposite if you fancy some traditional French cuisine. The house is at approximately 800m altitude and is around 45 minute drive from skiing at Mont Dore.

The summer reaches temperatures up to 40°C. The house with it's meter thick walls makes for a very cool spot in the summer if you need to get away from the heat or a cozy nest in the winter. The house is heated via a log burning stove.
