In this bedroom there is an additional room of 20m² which could be developed to add another bedroom and  currently houses the thermodynamic water tank.

The second property, which is used for the Chambres Dhôtes offers a living room with pellet burner, fitted kichen/dining room and 2 upstairs double bedrooms both with en suite WC/shower rooms. These 2 properties are separate but interconnected by a shared entrance which allows them to be used as one large gîte, which during the summer months has proved extremly popular.

The owners accomodation can be accessed via a front door on the lane passing the property and currently has a room which is used for storing of guest bedding and supplies, but could easily be made into whatever new owners would want to use it for. Upstairs from this room is an open plan living space of 65m² offering a fitted kitchen, dining area and living room. There is a separate bedroom and large WC/shower room. This area is heated and cooled by an electic pompe a chaleaur. 

All of the properties can access an inner courtyard which has been beautifully planted and offers a covered living/dining area, Wc, plus a barn which is 30m² on 2 floors and could offer further accommodation if developed. It is currently used for a laundry area and storage of garden equipment.

Surrounding this landscaped garden and extending to 4.5 hectares of riverside land, offering  a fabulous Eco tourism opportunity to expand this business even further, subject to the necessary planning permissions, this would be ideal to make holiday packages for fishing, nature watching and lovers of calm and tranquility.

This property has to be seen to be appreciated and the oppotunity to further develop the existing bussiness is immense.
