This property is presented by Knight Frank SNC.Close to the historic heart of Barjac and its shops, this elegant nineteenth-century property enjoys enviable surroundings, offering peace and quiet while amenities are close at hand.This former silk farm, carefully renovated in 2006 with high-quality materials, offers approximately 265 sq m of livable space, blending authenticity and modern comfort.The property is arranged around a delightful, flowery courtyard featuring an old, still-working well with a pump – a truly characterful feature. Some superb vaulted cellars round things off, adding a strong contribution to the property's authentic feel.At courtyard level, a former sheep barn has been converted into a self-contained studio flat with a kitchenette and shower room, ideal for accommodating family and friends or for a hospitality business.The living areas can be reached via a magnificent stone staircase with wrought-iron balustrade, or by a lift running between the ground and first floors.The first floor presents a remarkable, light-flooded living room with a lofty open ceiling and a stone fireplace with an insert. Following on from this, the fitted kitchen with wood-burning stove blends harmoniously into this welcoming living area. A study, a utility room, a suite with a walk-in wardrobe and a shower room round off this floor.On the same level, a spacious terrace, shaded by a superb wisteria, extends the reception rooms and invites you to make the most of balmy summer evenings.The second floor comprises a pleasant mezzanine (currently fitted out as a billiards room) and two bedrooms, each with its own shower room and toilet.Of the ca. 1.4 hectares of grounds, almost a hectare is currently under cultivation by a farmer. This land can be reclaimed after the next harvest if desired.This characterful property, a rare example in the Barjac area, features high-quality amenities: a reversible heat pump system providing underfloor heating in winter and underfloor cooling in summer, a lift serving the ground and first floors, geothermal hot water and a carport.A property that's equally ideal as a family home or a hospitality business.
