Rhone Alps, Ardèche, Les Vans, France

With this property the charm of the old meets the convenience of the modern. The under-floor heating across two levels is complemented by the wood-burning stove in the 36m2 main living area. Touches such as traditional wooden shutters, exposed stone walls and natural wooden beams add to the character of this property.

The four bedrooms are located across all three levels. Under the eaves is the spacious and appealing master suite, to the ground floor two good-sized further bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, with the final double guest room on the lower level.

Outside, the grounds are mostly terraced to grass with stone steps and ramps built within the walls to facilitate access. You will see many types of trees such as almond, olive and fig, plus local species like the green oak (“chêne vert”), providing a natural habitat for various species of wildlife.

The land to the left and right of the property is designated “constructible”, subject to plans being approved by the relevant local bodies.
