Services and Condition

Services:

All the utilities are present. Water is supplied by the local waterworks and the heating system by natural gas with an underground LPG cylinder.

Condition:

The property was completely and skilfully renovated in respect of the architecture's origins blending harmoniously old and modern. Key element of the restoration: develop a new space disposition without distorting the originating building soul. The external walls of the building are in red bricks that, with the landscape, give a feeling of apparent simplicity. Inside, however, the simplicity gives way to forms, proportions and colours which are complex, but without any inconsistency. Even the furnishings contribute to a game of provocation and taste for novelty: sofas, dormeuse, chairs and tables with sinuous shapes, made of modern resin or brushed iron, are scattered in the living rooms like coloured spots on a picture. The furniture is creative but functional and harmonized with vaulted ceilings, arches, wooden beams and the stone walls of the hamlet. After careful inspection of the original structural materials, the flooring was remade using motars which the owner decorated herself with the exception of the bathrooms which were conveniently tiled.
