January 2003

The property was long and low with 5 rooms on the ground floor and 5 rooms above in what was originally a spacious loft.
The decoration at first was awfully 60's and 70's style and the whole place was in need of a complete overhaul.

As 2003 dawned progress was slow but the upstairs had been gutted and was ready to be re-insulated and re-lined...this space will be 2 bedrooms and a luxurious but compact bathroom.

In the Maison we have exposed the local tuffeaux stone as we created a new stairwell and formed..

...an archway between the kitchen entrance area and the large living room. This then has double doors leading to the sunny terrace.
The central feature in the living room is the hand built chimney breast. Again this is built in the local stone and by traditional methods.
The garden will be mainly terraced with a small area of lawn. There will be parking for several cars within the locked gates. The cave pictured has no designated use as yet but suggestions are coming in rapidly so feel free to mail us with yours!!
