The property is one half of a huge wine barn that dates from the 19th century, converted into two homes in the early 2000's. The front gates access a lovely walled garden and a parking area for 3 cars (quite a rarity for a house with such a central location in the village!). The main entrance to the building opens onto a communal space/hallway where the front door to each property is situated.

Impressive barn doors open onto a vast as yet undeveloped space of approx 165m2 that has high ceilings, concrete flooring and windows already in place. This space would be ideal to convert into additional living space or to create two independent gites and there is great potential to create something really quite special here.
