Unique opportunity to own a magnificent piece of local history, in a beautiful 6 bedroom house full of character and impeccably renovated with garden and offering far reaching countryside views from its location in Barjac.

This superb property is accessed via two quiet cobbled village lanes, among ancient golden stone houses. Entrance is through 'antique' double doors into an impressive area of vaulted spaces, all fully renovated, with others used as storerooms and workshops. This area covers some 90 m2.

With street access, this ground floor space has excellent commercial potential.

Climbing up stone steps to the garden level, there is a 20 m2 covered terrace that gives access to the main living areas. Entrance to the house is via a 24 m2 reception hall with exposed beams and stone arch. From here there are two large and impressive vaulted living rooms (26 and 48 m2), both with ancient "Lauze" flagstone floors, antique doors and large open fireplaces. They have glass doors and windows that open onto the gardens. Also on this level is the 25 m2 fitted kitchen with a large inglenook fireplace, and numerous antique features.

Two separate stone staircases lead up to the second floor, where there is a huge 52 m2 bedroom with a monumental handmade wooden staircase leading to a 20 m2 mezzanine, as well as four other bedrooms (18, 13, 29, 25 m2). There's a charming 20 m long 'courredoux' (balcony), ideally south-facing over the gardens.

Finally, the house has a second floor with an additional 28 m2 bedroom and a second bathroom. Particular care has been taken to preserve and enhance the history of this house, with the use of antique doors and fittings, antique flagstone floors, carved stone, etc. All original beams and vaulted ceilings have been preserved.

Outside, there's a large, private, enclosed garden facing south, with old specimen trees and three mature olive trees providing shade. From here, there are extraordinary views over the hills of Ardeche Mont Lozere and the Cevennes. There are two large shady terraces with Roman tile roofs and antique flagstone floors, a large rainwater tank and private space for a swimming pool.

Accessible from the garden is a separate annex with two rooms and a bathroom housed in an old stone dovecote. There is a separate access with double arched doors that open from the garden to the upper street level. At street level is an 18 m2 garage and a separate 20 m2 vaulted space.

The house is connected to mains drainage, and all normal services, including fibre optics, are available. Heating is provided partly by oil and open fires. It has a very comfortable and warm atmosphere and, with its volume and location, would make a superb family or vacation home.

It would make an excellent vacation rental, and the street-level spaces offer commercial possibilities.
