With 210 m² of living space and numerous outbuildings, this residence combines period charm with generous proportions, offering significant potential for renovation.

It comprises a main house full of character, a separate bakehouse with a working bread oven, an adjoining barn of approximately 170 m², a former stable, and a shed, all set on a secluded, wooded plot of 4,593 m².

The bright and welcoming interior features a lovely living room with a wood-burning stove, a fitted kitchen, a utility room, and a toilet, as well as a former blacksmith's workshop now used as living space.

On the first floor, there is a spacious bedroom, a bathroom, and a toilet. On the second floor, another spacious bedroom with its own shower room, toilet, and direct access to the barn complete this comfortable living space.

The bakehouse is a real asset: an additional dwelling of approximately 30 m², ideal for hosting family and friends or developing a gîte or holiday rental project. With a living room, shower room, and toilet on the ground floor, and a bedroom upstairs.

Outside, the landscaped garden, south-facing terrace, and relaxation areas invite you to fully enjoy sunny days.

The structural work is in good condition, and the property has a private septic system.

A rare opportunity, perfect for a family project, a charming gîte, or a characterful second home.

A place full of character, where authenticity and nature blend beautifully, don't miss out!
