Maison à vendre, 253m², Prayssac

Description

Old houses in France are often referred to as being a ‘character property. It’s a well-worn phrase but with this house there is a real sense of personality and, to my mind, a hopelessly romantic one at that! Two houses with 15 acres in a beautiful situation, overlooking meadows, woodland, nature and landscape that is ever-changing with the seasons. Access is through an elegant gated entrance framed by stone walls, the 6.2-hectare estate is situated in a peaceful valley on the edge of woodland.
