a family house for sale

So far, amongst properties for sale, I've shown you a maison de maître, and a house in need of a total rebuild.  Here is a house for sale in the valley, it belongs to a friend, more recent than the others (the house that is, not the friend!)  but still with charm and potential  (both the house and the friend!!).




You walk directly into this lovely living area, with an open plan kitchen that I always find very relaxed and sociable.  Either side of this large room French doors open onto terraces.









The house is beautifully decorated and has a very soothing atmosphere.  It is big, there are currently 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.  On the top floor there is a large family/TV room that could be made into a further bedroom with ensuite bathroom.







This wide and attractive couloir leads to one of the ensuite bedrooms.




Upstairs there's a fun bathroom between two of the children's bedrooms.





Leading out of the kitchen terrace are pretty stone steps to guide you up into the garden.








The grounds are extensive, partly maintained as a lawn and garden, and partly left as forest.  This means that the property is very secluded and private.











Voila!  Another take on buying a property in France... it doesn't have to be 18th century, or with wooden beams, life in France can be enjoyed under all sorts of roofs!
