Property Description:
A charming, recently renovated stone property standing in an elevated position with stunning views of the Aveyron countryside, including the Aubrac mountains over 30kms away. This outstanding property is located in a small hamlet close to the villages of Firmi and Cransac, the later village boasting a thermal spa. The old industrial town of Decazville is a 10 minute car journey from this delightful house whilst the city of Rodez is a mere 30 minute drive away; both have an array of shops ,restaurants and markets.
The property is surrounded by a good sized flat garden featuring a terraced pool and bbq area, lawns and a variety of foliage. The front of the house has a gravelled driveway with ample parking, an outbuilding used currently for garden equipment, tools and wood storage; plus an original bread oven.
The house is on three floors:-
Ground Floor
A welcoming entrance leads onto an entirely open plan living space comprising a fully fitted kitchen, lounge and dining area. This entire area, of over 100m2 boasts panoramic views of the local
countryside, an original apple press for cider and traditional wood burner. There is double patio door access to the terraced pool area complete with stone built barbeque; ideal for
enjoying the summer sunshine and entertaining. In addition on this floor there is a guest toilet and large utility room with a sink, plumbing and ventilation for laundry and drying machines , a modern oil-fired boiler, oil storage tank and an abundance of storage.
First Floor
The main bedroom is a large double bedroom, with access to a huge private terrace from where you can enjoy the amazing views. This bedroom also boasts an ensuite bathroom comprising an
integral bath and shower, double sink unit and toilet. There are two further bedrooms on this floor , one a double and one a single; plus a large shower room with a sink vanity unit and plenty of fitted storage, plus a separate toilet.
Second Floor
A wooden staircase leads to a study/office area and then onto two further double bedrooms, a large shower room and separate toilet.
The house is double glazed and its oil fired boiler supplies both hot water and heating; with underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators on the two upper floors.
The nearest airport is Rodez-Marcillac, only a 20 minute drive away which has daily flights to London Stansted and twice weekly flights to Dublin. Toulouse airport which is a 2 hour car
journey away has daily flights to London Gatwick and Bristol with Easyjet and British Airways .
The house has been entirely renovated, only two years ago, to a very high standard, with all renovations having been done by local artisans and therefore covered by the remainder of the 'decenalle' insurance (10 year guarantee). In total the habitable area approaches 250m2, with 2.8 hectares of land and 180 degree panoramic views. The accomodation layout of 3 bedrooms on the first floor and two on the second, with both floors having their own shower room and toilets, is ideal for larger families, or those families where a 'private' top floor for guests would be an
added bonus! It is a house that everyone falls in love with, and it is with great sadness that the current owners are offering it for sale.
