This ready-to-go business offers exciting potential for additional ventures. The purposeful and well thought out ensemble offers an abundance of pure charm and authentic character, mixed with a wealth of industrial design, vintage collectables and urban chic.
With handmade wrought iron staircases, bespoke kitchens with polished concrete work counters and flooring, stunning eclectic bathrooms; each with an Italian style walk-in shower, stand-alone baths and mixed with unusual old charm doorways, there is a pure sense of rejuvenation and repurpose.
Currently run as a gite business (a future owner would need to obtain necessary permission and appropriate business registration), each of the 5 guest properties offers a personal outside seating area, and a wood burner for winter lettings. Some have unique purposefully built bunk bed cabinets, suitable for adults or children alike, and outside set within the sumptuous mature parkland gardens, there is a large inground swimming pool and suntrap terrace that enjoys far reaching views and the private woodland walk below.
The main house is filled with natural light and boasts tall, spacious rooms. Enter through the covered terrace into the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area - a beautiful and inviting social space, enhanced by multiple windows, a feature fireplace, and a door opening onto a private rear terrace. Also on the ground floor, there is a bedroom with an en-suite shower room and WC, which conveniently doubles as a guest bathroom.
Upstairs, a generous landing leads to two guest bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate WC. At the end of the hall is the luxurious principal bedroom suite, complete with a stunning bathing area, a walk in wardrobe, and a walk-in wardrobe.
The restaurant, which can seat up to 28 covers inside and some more on the balcony and terraces, is situated below the main house. Behind the scenes is a fully equipped professional kitchen, cold food storage, washing facilities, dry food-equipment storage areas as well as public toilet facilities.
Enhancing this already impressive offering is a purpose-built metal storage building of remarkable size. The ground floor provides 130m2 of internal space, complemented by a 30m2 covered entrance terrace. Additionally, a mezzanine level offers a further 70m2 of space. Privately positioned away from the stone buildings, this structure also benefits from ample off-road parking for multiple vehicles.
Opportunities as diverse and unique as this are truly rare. The property exudes a profound sense of tranquility and enchanting charm, with an atmosphere that is simply exceptional.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
