This room has plenty of space for both sitting and dining areas.To the right of the entrance hall a short corridor (of which is a WC) leads to the dual aspect kitchen (14m2) with tiled floor and a range of units.To the far side of the kitchen a door opens into a converted barn (35m2) with doors and windows to both the front and back gardens, exposed beam ceiling and exposed stone walls. This room offers a blank canvas for the new owner to define as they wish - it would make a wonderful living space. To one corner there a hot water tank and there is plumbing for a washing machine. To one side of this room a staircase rises to a room above (35m2) with exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone walls and windows to both the front and back with extensive views. Again, this space could quickly be fitted out as additional bedrooms / bathrooms.First floorA wooden staircase rises from the main reception room to the first floor landing.

In addition to this there is a generous bathroom (bath, walk-in shower, twin wash-basins and a WC).

OutbuildingsTo one side of the courtyard garden is a detached range of stone outbuildings which include an open-side barn (17m2) and another barn divided into three sections (covering about 100m2 in total). The barn also offers potential for conversion to habitable accommodation (subject to planning permission) and could have its own entirely independent access.

There are some very fine views to the south over the vineyards.To the back of the house is a secluded courtyard garden landscaped in the Mediterranean style with a specimen olive tree, palm tree, lavender etc, all overlooked by a terrace. The courtyard has another set of gates to the lane and is enclosed by the house, the gîte and the outbuildings. To the other side of the outbuilding is another garden, mainly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees (there is is a third set of gates the give access to this part of the property from the lane).

The barn roof has photovoltaic cells which produce electricity which is sold to EDF - generating an small income (about 1500 euros per year - to be confirmed).
