This charming 18th century property has a large shaded terrace opening onto a quiet, country style garden. It is a 5 minute walk from the old town centre, shops and schools, and a 10 minute stroll from the most beautiful natural site in Isle-sur-Sorgue.
It's enough to seduce all those who dream of living in a small Provencal town, between Avignon and the Luberon, in the Monts du Vaucluse. The building, with a total surface area of approximately 500m2 and landscaped grounds of approximately 1,554 m2, comprises a main house, two independent apartments and attic space for conversion.
The main body of this two-storey house (approximately 200m2), with its elegant beige facade gilded by the sun, features bay windows and tall, small-paned windows protected by solid wood shutters. It retains the classic architecture of a fine bourgeois house, with its succession of rooms, never huge, whose size lends each space a cosy atmosphere.
Next to the closed garage, the high-ceilinged entrance hall features a walk in wardrobe, laundry room and WC, and opens onto a small, charming living room that provides access to the immense shaded terrace, a haven of coolness and conviviality, overlooking the verdant garden planted with beautiful, typically Provencal trees: plane, lime, hackberry and a hundred-year-old oak.
A small swimming pool is available for cooling off in summer, as the property is not overlooked.
The first small reception room leads on the left to a dining room and a small fitted kitchen with access to the terrace, and on the right to a spacious, comfortable living room with a fireplace and frescoes adorning the top of each wall. Concealed behind the living room's moulded double doors is a large room that could serve as an office, playroom or new kitchen.
Upstairs are 3 spacious bedrooms, bathed in light and with views over the garden, two bathrooms, one with an old-fashioned free-standing bathtub, the other with a shower, and a large 20m2 walk in wardrobe which could be a 4th bedroom en suite.
In the rear part of the building are two apartments to renovate (30m2 and 50m2 on 2 levels) and an additional 130m2 of potential conversion space in the attic, offering numerous possibilities for enlarging or rethinking spaces.
The proximity of the centre of Isle sur la Sorgue, famous for its antique shops and charming canals that give it the name of "Venice of Provence", provides the perfect balance between tranquility and liveliness.
Accessibility by train from l'Isle sur la Sorgue station to Avignon TGV station is highly appreciated by those who need to travel regularly within France for their professional activities.
This house, with its cachet and history, will appeal to those in search of authenticity, conviviality and the gentle Provencal art of living.

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.
