Property Description
Summary
A substantial (18/19th Century) stone farmhouse, originally four bedrooms, that has been extensively and expertly renovated by the current owners to an exceptionally high standard.
The property is currently arranged as a three-bedroom family home with a fine and spacious sitting room, a large dining room, a generous “Salon de Sejour” and craft/games room with an attractive mezzanine bedroom and an additional winter sitting room / snug.
