The Main House
The main house dates back to about 1760 and parts of it were taken from the chateau in Rohan following the French revolution by the local peasants. In recent years, it has had the benefit of being completely restored. This includes slate roof (complete) wiring, plumbing, flooring and internal walls.windows and doors. In fact a new house! It has a foot print of about 65m2 giving a total living space of about 125m2 over two floors.
On the ground floor we have an entance hall, (with a large cupboard under the stairs) leading to the lounge area with origanal beams and large open fire place which houses a wood burner. This leads to an exit door to the rear garden and to the hallway. Through the hall way leads to the kitchen which has a new fitted units with work tops. The kitchen can also be accessed from the entrance hall.
