This superb period property on 3 floors plus a wine cellar retains many of the original features including beautiful moulded plaster ceilings, ceramic floor tiles and the elegant sweeping staircase. It is situated on a quiet street on the outskirts of a popular village with all amenities within walking distance. The property currently has comfortable, spacious living areas opening out onto sunny terraces overlooking the private courtyard below. The large loft 165m² has been renovated (water, electricity, heating, insulation, etc) and is currently used as an artist’s studio but could easily be divided into further bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms or as a separate living area/apartment. It has a private and pretty garden 900m² separated from the house by a pedestrianised lane/pathway.
