5 Bedroom Detached Country House

Stone-Built Longere + Large Gite Offering A Bed & Breakfast Opportunity.

Tucked away in a quiet corner and set amongst fields, yet only 1.5km / 1 mile from local businesses, you'll find this delightful 3-bed longere with its large 2-bed gite surrounded by generous gardens. It is ideal for someone wanting a quality home with separate accommodation to generate income from bed and breakfast or as separate guest accommodation for family or friends. Tastefully decorated and maintained to a high standard, a visit to this property is highly recommended! The whole of the longere is heated by the wood-burning fire in the lounge. A liquid gas-fired central heating system is installed and whilst there are central heating radiators installed on the ground floor and electric radiators upstairs, these have not been used in four years as the wood-burning fire serves to comfortably heat the whole of the longere. The house and gite have double-glazing throughout. A satellite dish is in place and the tiled roofs are in good condition. The living space is of 240m2 on a plot of around 8,800m2.
