From the church side there is a large, 20m2, vaulted entrance hall with stairs to the upper floor and distribution to the ground floor rooms.

The current kitchen is efficient with scope to expand into the adjoining "dining room" thus providing a true heart to this home (surface areas are 11m2 for the kitchen and 19m2 for the adjoining dining room). Both rooms have views over the courtyard and gardens and the dining room has an original stone fireplace.
Continuing on the ground floor, there is a large bedroom of 27m2 also double aspect with views of the church, which could become a TV room etc. if required.

The outbuildings include:
A / A barn: its high facade and dovecotes seem to come from an old building that used to stand on this site. On the ground floor, it houses a wine cellar, storage space, a garage and a former 'orangery'.
The first floor offers a 73m2 room.
B / A greenhouse
C / A former pool house: now used as a log store, awaiting the revival of the pool and terrace for future use.

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.
