5 bedroom historical property set in lush mature gardens, ideally located near all amenities in Uzes.
This magnificent house has origins dating back to the 16th century. Set in the heart of a sought after village 5 minutes from Uzes, it was renovated under the leadership of an architect of the 'Batiments de France' and by the best craftsmen in the region. The building has many character elements coupled with discreet modernity, and an elevator serves the 3 levels for great comfort on a daily basis.
Offering nearly 330 m2 of living space, the house includes on the ground floor a large entrance hall leading to a superb dining room, a summer kitchen and a first vaulted living room. On this floor there is also access to the cellar, a laundry room, the boiler room for the city gas central heating and a guest WC.
Magnified by its large terrace with colonnades, the first floor was chosen as the main living level: a spacious living room with French ceiling and tall windows also features terracotta floors; the kitchen-diner opens onto the terrace and is extended by the 'patouille' housed in the old tower of the property.
On this level, is the master bedroom with direct access by elevator. Opening onto the terrace, it also benefits from a small alcove in the second tower of the property. This suite is completed by a walk in wardrobe opening onto an elegant full bathroom with 2 stone basins, bathtub and spacious shower. A guest WC completes this floor.
Finally, on the top floor, still served by the elevator or by the original stone staircase, are 4 rooms arranged around a large landing. 2 spacious bedrooms with shower room and WC, a 3rd room that can also accommodate a shower room in the tower extension, and an office with a small alcove corresponding to the second tower.
In the south facing garden, an old covered courtyard can shelter one or more vehicles and garden equipment. Along the southern facade of the house runs an arbour with a wisteria, providing pleasant shade during hot periods. An automatic gate completes the features of this unique mansion with its undeniable character.
A haven of peace just a stone's throw from the market, restaurants, shops and art boutiques of this emblematic village in the Uzes region.

Buying a Property in France
1. Signing the Agreement (Compris)
On finding a property you wish to purchase you will need to negotiate the terms, price and conditions of the sale with the owner.
The next step, once you are in agreement, is to sign the preliminary contract (Compromis de Vente). This is a legal document and after ten days will be binding on both parties. Rules change frequently in France and it is best to consult with your notary about when this period starts. Generally the compris will be signed in France with the Agent.
Variants can be included in the compris, for example an Acte (clause) can be added if the name or names to go on the title deed have not been finalised. If a mortgage will be required to purchase the property, the details for this, including the name of the mortgage company, must be on the compris.
2. Paying the Deposit
Generally the deposit will be 10% of the agreed purchase price. This will normally be paid to the notaire. There are exceptions to this, if the agent holds a carte professionelle, is bonded and fully registered then you may pay them, but do not hand over the deposit to anyone else. If for some reason the purchase does not go through, for example, if you write to the notaire and the agent that you do not wish to go continue with the purchase before the contract is binding (within seven days of signing the compris), then your deposit would be repaid. This would also apply if a condition had not been met, or the mayor or S.A.F.E.R. (a government agency that has the right of first purchase on most rural property that comes onto the market in France) could oblige the purchaser to give way. If you decide after the seven days 'cooling off' period that you do not wish to complete the purchase and pull out of the sale you would lose your deposit. If however the vendor pulls out of the sale then you will receive your deposit back plus the same amount from the vendor.
3. On Completion
Generally it will take around two or three months to complete the purchase.
During this time the balance of the purchase money must be paid into the account of the notaire, this must be done well ahead of the completion date. The notaire will prepare the documents, check that the deed of sale (Acte de Vente) is in order and have the legal title ready to be signed over. It is possible to have someone sign on your behalf if you give them power of attorney. An interpreter may be of use at this point if your French is not very good and many Notaires will suggest (or insist) that an interpreter is with you.
