Superb family village house

Characteristics

Description of the property

In the heart of the village of Aire-la-Ville, this superb village house will dazzle you with the quality of its renovation (ASS Architects) and the charm of its interior and exterior architecture.

Probably dating from the early 18th century, part of the main house and part of the annex house were originally a Huguenot church. The superb height of the roof makes this clear.
Numerous architectural elements of the period are still visible: lintels of the doors, cupboards in molasse stone, Burgundy tiles, etc.

A charming patio features a pretty curate's garden with aromatic herbs and a pond/fountain. They surround a pleasant space for lunching or relaxing and provide access to a period cellar.
