This fully-furnished property is the converted old bakery in the grounds of a chateau dating from the 1880s. There are 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, plus communal courtyard and swimming pool. The house has been totally re-painted inside and out within the last year and is in excellent condition - ready to move into - in fact, extremely good value for money.

There are several properties situated around the courtyard and pool, as shown in the photos, the Old Bakery being in one corner (main photo). These are all individually owned with joint responsibility for the common areas under a co-ownership agreement (co-propriété).

The Old Bakery has been let out for the last 6 years and average bookings have been 10 weeks a year at £450 per week.

It is in a rural location, only 1 km to the nearest village with school and supermarket and 5 km to the next town with railway station. The motorway is 20 km away.

This stunning property which has been tastefully restored, is situated in attractive, peaceful surroundings, halfway between two old French villages with shops and schools. The property, once a former watermill, stands in its own grounds of approximately 1.13 hectares (2.8 acres), mainly woodlands and streams. There are 5 double bedrooms, 2 of which are with ensuite bathrooms, 2 kitchens, an 8x4m swimming pool and a large outbuilding currently used as a garage.

There is potential to change the living accommodation into 3 apartments or to keep it as one large family home. The renovations have been done on all floors, whilst retaining a lot of the internal machinery to keep the character. The mill is on three floors, built of local stone, with a tiled roof, rewired according to French standards and benefits from having gas central heating, mains water and a septic tank.

The property is 35 mins from the motorway, 45 mins from St. Etienne, 15 minutes from Roanne and 1 hour from the City of Lyon.
