This stone built farmhouse and barn-conversion has much to offer as a retirement or holiday home. Its approximately 166 m² have already been separated into two properties (with a further first floor area of 45 m² approx. in the barn and 43 m² in the main house remaining to be converted if wished), with enclosed gardens. The farmhouse was modernised some twelve years ago and the barn converted eleven years ago so a certain amount of redecoration and other works will be required. (Please note the property is not suitable for wheelchairs.) Both properties benefit from an open aspect and a private copse, but are not isolated. They comprise:
