Entering the main house through the 15m² hallway, you'll immediately notice the harmony of exposed stone, wood, and terracotta. The heart of the home is the luminous 29m² kitchen, which features an original fireplace now housing a wood burner. A door leads to a shaded terrace and an oak shed, while the fully renovated 30m² former bakehouse awaits your creative use.
The 31m² dining room, furnished with rustic wooden pieces, exudes a cozy atmosphere for shared meals. Adjacent is a 23m² space, currently used as an office and reading room, which could easily serve other purposes. The highlight of the property is the 87m² main sitting room, comprising a 67m² space with year-round views of the countryside and a 23m² cozy nook centered around a traditional open fireplace. A wide patio door leads to the summer terrace, offering unobstructed views.
The ground floor also includes a 25m² master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe, plus two additional 10m² bedrooms, a shared washroom, and direct outdoor access.
