Charming ancient stone house with walled garden, and the allure of a hôtel particulier. A date on the chimney stack marks the year 1676, although the origins of the building are probably older. The spacious renovated home is centred around a 60m2 living area that gives onto an arched loggia with extensive views across the walled garden to an open landscape of fields and hills. However, the house nestles on the ramparts of the old village of Villasavary. The main part of the house is articulated around the ample living area and loggia terrace. Leading off this central hall are two bedrooms, a library or second lounge (or third bedroom), a kitchen, a bathroom and separate WC. The first floor is accessed by the hallway and principle entrance from a pedestrian alleyway. From the hall, a covered staircase descends to the ground floor and garden. A second arched porch provides access to a separate living area comprising two bedrooms, a bathroom and a living area that could easily be converted into a kitchen. A separate doorway gives access to a cellar serving as a utility area and boiler room. A secluded and walled mature garden with pergola leads to a covered entrance gate. From this garden, a gentle staircase leads down to a gated parking area for two cars, as well as a vegetable garden in permaculture. The gardens feature mature trees, many plants and flowers as well as a spectacular oleander bush providing complete seclusion.
