GENERAL The house was architect designed for an Anglo/ Scottish family and constructed c.1980 from the remains of an old barn in part plus a new-build section comprising all bedrooms and bathrooms. The outside walls in the barn section are up to 850m.m thick. The specification and fittings were generous and most still remain. The standard of wall and floor tiling is first class, there are lots of electrical sockets everywhere and the gas-fired heating and hot water service ( new high efficiency BUDERUS boiler installed 6 years ago) is both effective and efficient: you simply never notice it in operation. Using the UK manufactured log-burner on 24 hour operation in the coldest weather in addition, provides further comfort and economy. In contrast to many French houses, especially those having ‘benefited’ from enthusiastic DIY work, everything in this house works and it is well-suited to year-round occupation. The local people are unfailingly civil and mostly friendly; Local petty crime barely registers; there is an outstanding (for rural France) supermarket at Miramont; 12 km.; the local wine, made with care from grapes grown on the other side of our boundary wall, is very good and modestly priced and the sun often shines. So, why you may wonder, with all these advantages, do we wish to move? There is a very good personal reason which I will be happy to explain to anyone who comes to view. P.S. Buy direct from the owners and save yourself about Euros 20,000; an agency fee which the buyer pays.. to be added
