OLD WINE MAKERS BARN FOR SALE

We have just put the big barn in our garden on the market for 130,000€ it has plans to convert it into two 4 bedroomed houses with a study & lounge, diner, kitchen & utility room downstairs. Outside there will be a little patch of our garden for each house, one with fruit trees in the garden and off road parking for each house. Of course if someone wants to buy the barn and plan their own huge house there they would be free to do that, but the plans show what is possible.

If you know anyone who might be interested please give them our details.

Francis plans to use the sale money to build a straw bale eco house in the Aveyron. So watch this space for eco holidays there in the future!!
