Upon arrival, you'll enter a courtyard that beckons finishing touches—ideal for flagstones aligning with the medieval aesthetic. The front garden also needs some leveling and features an ornate orange and pomegranate tree, adding charm and color.

Here are two panoramic double bedrooms, a large vintage-style bathroom, and the potential to open a doorway into an adjacent barn—ideal for creating additional bedrooms, a study, or extra bathrooms.
Barn & Utility Space:
The barn, requiring a new roof, retains its original chestnut beams in excellent condition, offering a sturdy foundation for future renovation. The courtyard also includes an old animal barn, now perfect as a utility or storage area.
