The building
As any old farmhouse this home was built with stone from the exact site where it is standing. Over time parts were added on to which it now owes its unique appearance and original character. The ground floor consisted of stables of which certain features are still present. This part needs a full renovation to get to spaces with modern comfort. The traditional external staircase leads up to the first floor where the living quarters could be found. Here a thorough make-over is a necessity. The roof of the house has been replaced around 1995 but might benefit from an additional pack of insulation material.

Our suggestions are definitely to add on a sunroom, a pergola and of course to build terraces to move around the house with the season. A pool could work perfectly in various locations. Just before the house and slightly up the hill sits and old outbuilding. These former stables can be rebuilt as pool house, office, art studio or for example guest dependance.
