Modern stylish villa, close to a mediaeval village

The contrast between this well-equipped villa and the narrow streets of the lovely village with its plentiful mediaeval architecture is, shall we say, striking. But the one doesn't intrude on the other, or clash with it. As the ancient village expanded, so naturally came more modern buildings, and this house is a good example of design and comfort, enhanced by a very recent make-over. The living area is nearly all on one level, with a basement consisting of cellar and central heating room, and is entered via a fine entrance hall which separates the bedrooms from the rest of the house. The main feature is a huge living room with windows on to sides, a pretty light-oak parquet floor, and a corner library. Off this room is the kitchen, modern and beautifully equipped, with a door leading to a private terrace, and finally we reach the pantry and the laundry room. This floor is completed by an office, WC and access to the large adjoining garage. As for the bedrooms, they are three in number, one very large with its own dressing-room, WC and bathroom. Outside, the gravel courtyard leads to a carport and a workshop, and the garden with its flower beds, lawn, shrubs and trees makes for very pleasant surroundings. The whole property is full of light and very comfortable in feeling, and close enough to the village shops to be able to walk there.
