Property details

We are very excited to present this unique opportunity to purchase this historic former stone temple with 8m high vaulted ceiling, arched windows and doors and character oozing from every corner!
The impressive tree lined access to the property provides plenty of parking and shade before you approach this former chapel, which continued to serve the public until 2000.
Now classed as a historic monument, with permission to be habitable, or as a business, like brocante, or both, the current owner has updated the property sympathetically and in keeping with the charm and character it deserves.
The large entrance with enormous original doors is a WOW moment in itself, to be followed a second sharp intake of breath as you step inside the temple itself.
So light and spacious with stone floors, original stone features everywhere, and feature arched windows along each side of the building. This space now serves as the open plan living/dining/kitchen area. At the far end of the building, and towards the rear where the original monks slept, is the principal bedroom with shower/WC, and smaller kitchen area opening to the private rear terrace. Above there, a mezzanine has been built to provide space for the second bedroom, currently used as a snug living space.
Above the main entrance is the original mezzanine overlooking the full space and, with a second shower/WC below, could make a wonderful 3rd bedroom.
With all the space in the main room, there may even be an opportunity to make a second floor across half the room, connecting the two mezzanines, creating additional bedrooms and making the most of those stunning windows and countryside views beyond.
This really is a special place that could, with a little bit of imagination and design, create a fabulous home.
