    Hi Ed. I pretty much agree with everything you said. I would buy it in a heartbeat if I had $1.3mil. It has so much potential. I could go in there and make it look very glamorous and the property would look like a magnificent garden. Thanks for showing the property Ed. In fact it’s exactly what I would be looking for if I was planning on moving to France tomorrow.

    I agree!. I think it has small rooms and I see alot of black mould on walls and ceilings. PRICEY 1.3 MIL € This mansion I'm sure was VACANT FOR MORE THAN 20 YRS...ID SAY 40YRS THE GRAND STAIRCASE IS THE MOST IMPRESSIVE, BUT I DONT SEE IT AS A GOOD INVESTMENT FOR EDD & ANNA. I MAYBE WRONG BUT ITS OVERPRICED. 2 FLOORS AND GARAGE ALL NEED ALOT OF RENO.😮

    Hi Edd, I agree that there should be a beautiful terrace outside the kitchen and dining room. I find the house charming. I would restore the upstairs and add a bathroom in one of the bedrooms, remove the tenants and turn the tenants area into a large main bedroom and en-suite bath, and a laundry room. I would add the formal staircase back into the front hallway and up to the center hall area. I wouldn’t destroy the old integrity of the house. I love the old nooks and crannies, chips and quirks. That’s what for me makes it charming. xx

    If I had money... and wanted to live in France... that is a lovely place.... such potential. I could see a nice patio there... and maybe a deck or terrace above... you could walk out on and sit... I love it... the niche is nice and that statue is lovely. And I rather liked that mirror in the corner room upstairs... If I had that kinda money I would love to have such a place... though I really would want something that looked a bit more... um... like a castle. But that's me. My dream would be something more castle-like with a weeping willow... and a stream or a pond... but unless I get super lucky and win the lottery that isn't likely to happen.

    The upstairs rooms are more highly finished than the ground floor. I would leave the dining room and kitchen as situated, and have the principle bedroom/bath on the other side of the hall on the ground floor. Put a front and back parlor on the Piano Nobile, with a library/guestroom with bath opposite. Use the upstairs vestibule for the main entrance.

    In this instance I think that Ed has a point about reducing the size of the driveway & opening the kitchen up onto the garden. I'd remove the wall between the kitchen and what appears to be the adjacent current small dining room to create a much a much larger and more functional modern kitchen-diner but NOT the wall Ed suggested as this would further reduce the utility of the kitchen. Instead, the wall in the current dining that faces onto the entrance hallway that is made of brickwork should be removed as it appears to have been filled in at some point in the past judging by what appears to be on old lintel, should be removed to provide quick easy access to both the main entrance hall and the salon off of it. Doing so would gain the additional benefit of being able to quickly & easily unload groceries from the car into the kitchen, something that's often missing in many homes, even modern ones. Extrapolating out from the suggestion of having a terrace onto the garden, I'd remove the (entire) ground floor wall of the newly created kitchen-diner, install the necessary support lintels, and opt for french doors to remain in keeping with the character of the house despite my heart's desire to use bifold doors instead. Whilst I'm a true believer in historic architectural preservation, I don't necessarily think that all buildings should be preserved in aspic. A historic estate in Scotland, I think it was, had the benefit of Prince Charles's patronage when it came to restoration and renovation but, crucially, as he pointed out, the place just needed to find a new function in the modern world in order to give it a new purpose - or words to that effect. As far as I know, he saw to it that it gained just that and is now a training centre for people wanting to gain historic buildings preservation skills amongst other things and if memory serves me correctly, it's mainly aimed at young people. Far too many people, especially historic preservation organisations, are obsessed with pickling things in aspic to the point that those properties, buildings, gardens, water features etc, just aren't considered viable projects in the modern world by potential would-be restorers, ending up falling into obscurity and total ruin & lost completely to future generations, yet those same preservation nuts moan and whinge like mad about the sheer size of the At Risk Register..... idiots!!!
