Nièvre, Pouques-Lormes

Detached house with garden and 1.2 hectares of grasslands

If you see an old building in a beautiful location, you may have thought about the possibility of renovating it or converting it into a comfortable home. Usually, the lack of time, the difficulty of arranging such an adaptation, the lack of sufficient architectural knowledge or the financial uncertainty were the arguments why you decided not to embark on this "adventure". Yet there are people who are not deterred by this, and this old barn from 1890 is an example. In 2009, this building was turned into a beautiful modern house, creating a combination of a romantic building and a comfortable modern home. The house is located on a road without through traffic, but still with some houses in the neighbourhood.
On the ground floor is the entrance / living room with beautiful tiled floor and double doors to the sunny terrace. The spacious kitchen is tastefully furnished and the rustic cooker also serves as a boiler. A practical utility room completes this part of the house. In the other part of the ground floor are two bedrooms and a bathroom with shower and toilet. The open staircase leads to the first floor where you will find a large second living room with pellet stove, four bedrooms, two bathrooms with shower and toilet plus in the ridge two more rooms that are accessible via a separate ladder.
Furthermore, the property includes a garage and a workshop/barn. On the terrace is a permanent wooden pergola that provides the necessary shade in summer. From here you have a view on the terrain with the swimming pool which is heated by a heat pump.
In short, a comfortable house on a beautiful quiet location with possibilities for keeping horses, bed&breakfast or just a lovely family home.
