GRANGE

This lovely home has the advantage of a large attached barn, currently used as a garage/workshop and games area.

The owners have recently applied for permission to convert the barn into either:

* Two apartments each with a separate entrance, one on each floor
* One house/gite.

The barn could be used to either generate income or increase the accommodation of the current property as follows:

* Additional family accommodation (parents, older children etc)
* Holiday rental accommodation
* Long term rental accommodation

Each floor of the barn measures approximately 45 m2 as follows:

GROUND FLOOR

* Electricity (lighting)
* Cement floor
* Garage style door
* Window opening (no glass) with shutters
* New ceiling beams and floor
* Door from the courtyard
* Window opening to the lane (no glass) with shutters.

FIRST FLOOR

A wooden staircase leads up to the first floor with:

* Attractive exposed stone walls
* 2 window openings facing the little lane
* 2 window openings facing the river
* Very high ceiling (it could be possible to split this floor into two levels and have a mezzanine area)
* A door facing the river (not able to be used unless a balcony is added)

The owners have planning permission to open part of the wall and create a separate access with external staircase. The staircase between the floors could then be removed to create two independent living areas (for example 2 apartments).

COURTYARD

There is a private courtyard in front of the barn facing the river with:

* Wood store
* Olive tree

This could be a private area for the barn if converted into accommodation.

An archway leads currently to the terrace in front of the house.
