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.
