This unique 3-bed property dates from 12th century and will be appreciated by someone who utterly loves history and the stories the house can relate. Its character is huge; it feels like a museum inside. So much detail has been thought out by the owners in the preservation of the walls, floors, windows and stairs. The stained glass and leaded windows are impressive, particularly one which dates back to Renaissance times. The downstairs reception room has a 12th Century monumental granite fireplace, and the upstairs has another wonderful fireplace. The extension, which was added by the current owners, houses the kitchen, a bathroom and a bedroom. Inside it is in keeping with the ancient character of the original house with stone floors and beamed ceilings. The land is vast with its maturing gardens and park planted to grow more beautiful with each passing year. The upper terrace has a shaded seating area and spectacular views and close by is the old fashioned rose garden. At the bottom of the garden is a spring whose water is reputed to "cure children who suffer from nightmares"! Set up on a hill at the edge of a village on the pilgrim route to St-Jacques-de-Compostelle, the property is admired by all. For the person who finds its originality and deep-steeped history fascinating, this property could be a dream come true.
