There is a charming groundfloor bathroom and a room with toilet and basin on the first floor that could easily be converted to a bath/shower room.

There are lovely views from the garden and the windows are double glazed. Plans can be e-mailed on request.
English is widely spoken in this area and your English speaking neighbour can carry out any bulding works. He will also act as interpreter in any situation as required.
This is a beautiful and calm area and the road ceases 50m to the right of the picture, at the next and last property in this hamlet .
Many more pictures are available ~ just e-mail me and I will send them.
Features
There are no pressures just the opportunity to build something within yourself. Why not just lie back and feel the sun on your skin. Listen to the soothing sounds of the birds, the lazy fussing of the wind as it jostles the leaves in the French oaks. Listen to the distant braying of the donkey and marvel at the lack of traffic noise. In the warm balmy evenings sit outside, relax and let the sound of the crickets take you to a different plane. Look at the stars and see them with no light pollution.
