Details

Full of character and charm and ideally set in a quiet and private setting close to Saint Pe Saint Simon, this spacious 10 bedrooms and 6 bathroom property is in excellent condition throughout, and there is still ample scope to develop further, as the 3 properties could easily be reconfigured to meet personal requirements.

The main house and the first gite could be combined to create a larger principle home and still provide a second independent guest house with its own gas central heating system. There are also 2 separate entrance gates and driveways for the main house and the 2 guest houses.

One advantage of the current configuration is that both gites can be rented out simultaneously by extended families and friends, providing extra space and privacy. There is fibre optic broadband (2GB) throughout the entire property.
