RIOM, Auvergne, Address available on request

10 minutes from Riom, an 18th-century manor house with a panoramic view of the Riom plains and the Puys mountain range. The property rests against the slope of the plateau on which the village was built. Behind a wrought-iron gate framed by two Volvic stone pillars and flanked on the left by a pedestrian door, are the property's outbuildings, made up of former farm buildings that open onto a courtyard, and include a barn, a former stable, garages and workshops.
In the centre of the parcel, the 18th-century house has three storeys. Topped with a hipped curved tile roof, which lies atop a Genoise corbel, the building presents a façade typical of the classical style. Plaster-Coated and highlighted by Volvic stone window surrounds, it is punctuated by seven large-pane windows per floor protected by either solid wood, half-louvred or louvred shutters
The wooden front door, topped with a glazed fanlight, and also framed in Volvic stone, is set within an arched doorway, the keystone of which is decorated with a seashell.
To the south, there is a terraced garden, with the possibility of additional vehicle access.
