.
Dating from 1892, Ferme Chatelain underwent its initial renovation in the early 1980s whereby it was subdivided into three apartments, one on each level serving as individuals units for a family second home.

Whilst the property requires an overhaul, the current owners have endeavored to start the process by replacing the roof in 2018, updating electrics and facilitating independent entrances to each apartment.

Planning permission has also been granted to alter external openings to accommodate a welcoming 5 ensuite bedroom residence and an independent one bedroom on the ground floor. The main residence has been designed to include a winter entrance, technical room, TV snug and shower room on the ground floor. The architect has envisaged the main living quarters on the first floor with expansive double height over the dining area plus two ensuite double bedrooms. The top floor is intended for three family suites each composed of a double bedroom, private bathroom and single room per suite. Plans are available upon request.

As it stands today, the ground floor apartment, accessed through the kitchen entrance to the south of building, is composed of a kitchen decorated with hand painted anecdotes, a bathroom (sink and bath), separate WC, a living room that leads onto a bunk room and then onto a double bedroom with decorative integrated cupboard.

External stairs, also on the south of the building take you to the first floor where the second and most comfortable apartment is located off a communal corridor. This apartment has an open plan kitchen, dining and living area with a cosy wood burner, a mezzanine level, a bathroom (sink and walk in shower), separate WC and two south facing bedrooms.

Exiting this apartment from the living room, one enters into a blank canvas ready for renovating. It contains a shuttered opening and several windows with great east facing views. A laundry area has been set up with stairs leading to the top floor where the final apartment is located and an untouched attic area to renovate immediately on the right. This apartment is composed of a dining area off which there is a small kitchen, separate WC, shower room, a single bedroom, a living room and second bedroom.

Externally, to the north of the property, is the original entrance door to the farm which has been sectioned off to create a useful storage /sports kit room as well as parking for several cars.
