An intriguing village house, which could be described as the best of French Victorian, set on an open corner of a quiet village with views across open countryside and south to the Pyrenees mountains. Built by an architect in the late 1880s with high quality detailing of cut stone coins and cornicing and steps leading up to french windows on three sides. High ceilings, 3.5-metres throughout, double doors, wainscoting, deep skirting boards and a mixture of patterned timber flooring and period terra cotta tiling. A curiosity is a state-of-the-art wood-fired bakery oven dating from 1900 when it supported a local business.
