Elegant Village House in a Lively Historic Town

Property Description

Stunning Original Features & Large Detached Garden
Overview
Located in the heart of a vibrant village where residents are dedicated to preserving their environment, this tastefully restored property offers a rare combination of character, elegance, and authenticity. The house stands proudly on the main street, with a beautiful stone facade that speaks to its history.

Ground Floor
The original front door, carefully restored by the current owners, opens into a full-width kitchen and dining room. Large windows on either side flood the room with natural light and frame charming views of the neighboring village houses.
The kitchen has been completely redesigned with style and practicality in mind, while retaining nods to the house's former life as the village butcher shop, including a spacious and characterful pantry. The polished wood floors and exposed beams add warmth and personality to the space.

At the heart of the house, a superb spiral staircase rises elegantly from the ground floor to the attic, creating a visual and architectural thread. Behind the staircase are a discreet closet and a convenient ground-floor toilet.

The ground floor also includes a discreet toilet, but most importantly, a large, bright 32m² room in perfect condition, illuminated by two large windows and a French door leading to the alley and the separate garden. It is currently an artist's studio.

Finally, it is from the ground floor that a superb spiral staircase ascends elegantly to the attic, serving as the visual and architectural thread of the house.

First Floor
Upstairs, the same feeling of spaciousness prevails, with a magnificent 36m² living room that spans the entire width of the house. Original parquet flooring, tall windows with interior shutters, and a charming fireplace create a warm and refined atmosphere.

Opposite, the master bedroom overlooks the garden, has an en-suite shower room, and enjoys abundant natural light. A large closet on the landing currently serves as a laundry room but could easily be converted into an additional WC.
Second Floor
The second floor offers a flexible layout. A large bedroom at the rear of the house benefits from the same wide windows and unobstructed views as the floor below. On the south side, a second, smaller bedroom and a spacious family bathroom have been thoughtfully designed, along with a separate WC.
Attic & Mezzanine
At the top of the spiral staircase, the attic opens onto two mezzanines under the eaves, ideal for creating workshops, reading nooks, or extra sleeping space. Each side provides access to the crawl space under the roof, offering additional storage.

Cellar
The house boasts a very generously sized cellar, divided into several areas suitable for a wine cellar, workshop, or storage space. With double doors opening onto a quiet lane opposite the garden, it's perfect for storing outdoor furniture and gardening equipment.
It can also be accessed from inside the house.

Garden
Just a peaceful stroll from the house, across a small village street, lies the beautifully preserved garden. Enclosed by ancient ramparts and high stone walls, it offers an intimate space with mature fruit trees, a large well, and a covered summer kitchen ideal for al fresco dining.
There's ample space to install a swimming pool, subject to the necessary permits, and the views over the rooftops and rolling countryside are particularly captivating.
Bliss's Opinion
At Bliss, we love this house for its perfect harmony between village life and the countryside. Elegant without being ostentatious, bohemian without being over the top, this property is just steps away from shops and everyday services. A rare opportunity to own a characterful home in a vibrant and well-maintained village, without compromising on space, privacy, or charm.
