Full Description
This lovely old stone cottage, dating back to the 18th century has lots of potential. It is on three storeys...on the ground floor there is a bedroom with independent access, the boiler room, and four large cellars, all of which could be renovated and used as living space.
You go up some lovely stone steps to the first floor...here there is a fitted kitchen, sitting room with woodburning insert, pretty hall, an office ( 5th bedroom) and a large main bedroom, and bathroom. There is a large balcony that leads off the kitchen, with views across the countryside...the perfect place for al fresco dining!
Upstairs there are two further bedrooms, one en suite, and two attics, which again could be renovated to provide further living accommodation.
The cottage is set back from its land, as there is a tiny access road to the adjoining property. The land is fairly flat, and has wonderful views over the valley, and here you could install a swimming pool.
The house is just outside the animated mediaeval town of St Ambroix. St Ambroix has primary and secondary schools, three supermarkets, and lots of individual food shops. There is a very large lively weekly market, and the town hold many festivals and antique fairs. There is a weekly "vide greniers" every Saturday in the main square. It is just 20 minutes from the beautifully renovated Renaissance village of Barjac, which also holds markets and a very famous antique fair.
In this region swimming is popular in isolated and magical surrounding rivers, and other outdoor activities include canoeing, horse-riding, kayaking, cycling and mountain climbing. There are famous caves including the Caverne Pont d'Arc, with its cave paintings, recently opened to the public. The Ardèche Gorges are very close by and are not to be missed. You can swim in the rivers, go to water parks, visit lovely old walled towns, have a coffee in the sunshine or go wine tasting at one of the many vineyards.
