Full Description


We present to you this former barn converted into a home around twenty years ago, located in a quiet hamlet of just 2 houses at the end of a cul-de-sac, unoverlooked and amidst lush nature! Its unusual tower-shaped entrance porch and its enormous “dormer” windows give it a unique appearance and an undeniable appeal in a period where more and more rectangular pavilions are being built. Part of the renovation has lost its quality, it will therefore be necessary to plan new renovation work, but the beauty of this spot will reward your efforts.
3 floorsThe barn is made up of 3 floors, firstly the cow stables, partly built into the hill due to the land’s natural slope, have been turned into a basement, a technical area. Then above, the ground floor beams were levelled up to be converted into a living space and the 1st floor was completely created to make a sleeping area.
At garden level, there are 2 cellars, a storage room, a boiler room and a landing with a stairwell to the ground floor.
On the ground floor, you enter the house on the South gable through a porch shaped as a small tower onto an entrance with separate toilet and a storage room (ca. 91 ½ Sqft). A door at the opposite end of the entrance opens onto a very “basic” summer kitchen (ca. 129 Sqft) extended by a veranda with a door to the garden (ca. 75 Sqft) on the East-facing side. To the left of the entrance, a second door gives access to a living-dining room (ca. 172 Sqft) with two windows to the South and a French door to the West onto a raised wooden terrace enjoying privileged views, beyond the woods, towards the valley below. 4 people can, in the right season, sit and eat out on this spacious enough terrace. Adjoining this room, a living room (ca. 193 Sqft) heated by a wood burner and bright thanks to large bay windows, will allow you to enjoy the same views as on the terrace, but at colder times of the year. Then, a kitchen (ca. 193 Sqft) with a brick fireplace, exposed beams and stone walls. The kitchen is handmade and shows signs of wear and tear, but the solid pine floors, like those in the other rooms, will last for many years to come. Between the kitchen and the summer kitchen, a utility room (ca. 43 Sqft) gives you enough space to store a fridge, a freezer, a washing machine, a dryer.The two closed stairwells provide access to the basement and the 1st floor. There is solid pine flooring throughout this floor. The staircase runs up to a landing (ca. 26 Sqft ) with built-in cupboards, Velux and “bull’s eye” windows opening onto a first bedroom (ca. 200 Sqft) with a large “dormer” window. Then a second landing (ca. 43 Sqft) with a French door above the ground floor veranda, gives access to a second bedroom (ca. 215 Sqft), also with a large “dormer” and a heat distribution vent coming from the living room log burner. Finally, a passageway leads to a rustic-looking bathroom with a toilet (ca. 70 Sqft) and to a third bedroom (ca. 161 Sqft) with “dormer” and “bull’s eye” windows. The view from the three bedrooms is very beautiful as it overlooks the valley, a real treat!

wooded landA dead-end public road runs to the house and that of the neighbour, about 300 feet from the local road. The house is invisible from the road and almost invisible from its only neighbour, because the land of almost 2/3 acre is largely wooded. The immediate vicinity of trees to the house will require pruning. A private driveway allows parking for several vehicles on the property. A small natural swimming pool was dug by the former owner who also put a liner in and a wooden terrace around it.
