This traditional stone house - in fact it was originally two houses, and so there are two staircases - has an ideal layout to create a B&B, for example.
It’s on a quiet village street, with private parking, a mature manageable garden with pond, and outbuildings (two are about 12m2, plus a couple of smaller ones).
All the rooms downstairs have windows on two sides and high ceilings, so they are bright and airy, and since they all face the garden the house feels wonderfully calm and elegant.
Although the house has its obvious original charm, and the style of a traditional French country house, it has been modernised where it counts: a new roof (2009), electrics, boiler and radiators, double-glazed windows (all 2005), and log-burner/flue (2014).
The entrance hall leads to the dining room (29m2), or to the kitchen (18m2, opening to the garden). From the kitchen, there’s a WC and a bathroom. From the dining room, you access the huge living room (45m2), opening to the garden. The living and dining rooms, entrance hallway and kitchen, all have original terracotta floors.
Stairs lead up from the entrance hallway to two bedrooms (24m2, 16m2) and a shower room with WC.
Stairs lead up from the living room to two bedrooms (both 15m2) - and a corridor connects this section to the one above. The upstairs has beautiful original polished oak floors.
The pretty village of Millac has a very nice café/restaurant and small grocery shop, a post office, and it’s only 5km away from the small town of L’Isle Jourdain with supermarket, bakery, doctors/dentist, pharmacy, optician, garage, garden centre, hairdresser, bank, and 5 café/restaurants. The countryside here is beautiful, and a reservoir (that’s great for angling) is only 3.5km from the village.
