Aisne, Picardie (North-East)
Renovated farm house with gîte, 10 person sauna and paddle pool
150-year-old agricultural mansion with several outhouses: garage, workshop, wood working shop, brocante, storage, in good state of repair. Situated on a plot of land of 3677m2 (55 x 60 metres) on a quiet department road (D78) just outside Esquéhéries, direction Dorengt. The grounds are sloping in the back towards the river Noirieux. Free view over the fields all around. Only 60kms from Mons (Bergen) Belgium.
The house
It is divided in a gîte (holiday home) and a private part. The gîte has a completely equipped kitchen, with dishwasher, fridge and microwave. There is a conservatory, living room and bedroom on the ground floor plus upstairs four bedrooms and a mezzanine with shower and toilet. The gîte is sold entirely furnished.
Next-door is the owner’s home, with a living room with original tile floor and wonderful wood burning stove, a simple kitchen and bedroom with oak floor on the ground floor, plus an extra bedroom and an attic upstairs. Sold without furniture. In the basement is an extra bathroom with full tub, a larder room and a big vaulted cellar. Here, we find the central heating installation and boiler (gas). At the back of the house is a covered veranda with entrance to the 10-person sauna.
Good state
The house and part of the annexe buildings have new roofs and guttering, new plumbing, new electricity system. Double-glazed windows, sliding glass doors, new kitchen partly renewed waterproof floors in the stables.
Grounds
On the grounds behind the house and next to the big barn are a little outhouse, a small caravan and a wooden chalet. Closed parking, meadow for goat and chicken, meadow for putting up some tents, swimming pool, water purification pond and a nicely laid out garden with fruit trees. At the front of the house a stylish little garden. Then there is a 16 m deep water well and a big rainwater reservoir used to fill the puddle pool (a 6 meter diametre steel semi-dug in swimming pool) for free.
Excellent opportunity for a couple wishing to live and work in France, or as a holiday home for one big or two smaller families. Basic costs in energy, water, insurance and taxes about 500 euros a month.
