This formidable stone house is simply stunning and will delight you as you walk from room to room with its quality finish. This extensive property would make a perfect large family home or equally a magnificent B'n'B or gite business.
The main central part of house has the classic proportions of a property of this style. Black and white chessboard tiles feature in the spacious hallway with reception rooms off to the left and right. High ceilings with cornice work, large skirting boards, architraves and original wooden floors all add up to a house steeped in quality craftsmanship. There are large extensions at either side of the property that have been tastefully and sympathetically added over the years and have considerably increased the overall size of the building. One side houses the garage area which has a floor above that could be made into additional accommodation (subject to necessary permissions), whilst on the other side you have a huge utility room with good safe access to the cellar below. Above here is the studio with bedroom and bathroom, ideal for guests or family visiting on holiday.
This ensemble is magnificent and beautifully laid out, with mature trees and shrubs in the grounds, a grand central pergola off the patio adjoining the house provides an area for eating 'al fresco' or just enjoying the garden. Central lighting all the way down the garden to the gates to the river (you can wander into town along the riverside) give it a magical look at night time with the pool and patio area positioned to maximise the hours of sunshine available. The pool even has a rigid telescopic cover, essential for keeping the pool at a comfortable temperature throughout the season.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £14,987 more.
