It has been sympathetically restored, maintaining many original features: stone walls, flagstone floors, open fireplaces, beams etc. There is a fully functioning traditional bread oven regularly used for entertaining guests, and a modern summer kitchen which is currently also used for honey processing.

The two gites are separate from the main house with their own outside spaces to eat and relax. There is additional dedicated parking space for guests.
A second plot of land with large storage buildings has building potential, and could potentially house a pool (with appropriate permissions). Whilst a further plot, accessed via small lane, offers the perfect setting for the current owners numerous hives, from which they run a honey business.
There is discrete underfloor heating in the main house. As well as wood-burners in the main rooms for cozy winter evenings.
The main house offers wheelchair-friendly chambre d'hote facilities on the ground floor, and further upstairs accommodation that can be locked off from the owners living areas.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £11,553 more.
