This
romantic hide away windmill is set just outside a small village. The
only noise comes from the church bells that chime hourly.The sound of
sheep and a couple of cows in the surrounding fields really emphasises
the tranquility of the area. Built in 1885, this charming property has character and comfort. In 1975 the original workings were removed and the building was changed from a working Windmill into what can only be very loosly termed a residence. The full renovation includes, mains electricity, mains water, septic tank, new roof made from hand crafted Chestnut tiles, Oak floors, Double glazed Oak windows and shutters, Granite work surfaces in the kitchen and a modern bathroom with large shower cubicle. The windmill is arranged on four levels, kitchen on the ground floor, upstairs is the cosy living room with wood burning stove, a well equipped bathroom is on level three and the romantic bedroom on the top floor. There is a good sized garden shed and Barbecue Area (with exterior lighting) from which the wonderful sunsets can be enjoyed. The Moulin is classified as a "Monument Historic" and as such cannot be extended or externally modified. Situated approximately an hour south of Nantes and an equal distance inland from the seaside town of La Rochelle where you can sample the renowned fresh fish and seafood in the many restaurants located by the beach front. The nearest town to the Moulin is Fontenay Le Comte, the ancient capital of the Vendee. |

Quend, Somme, Northern FranceChateau and 3 hectares of prime land in the centre of the town of Quend for sale.The chateau retains many of its original features and requires renovation, and permission has been sought to develop the land which sits in the centre of the village, facing the central church. Satellite views of the site show it to represent around a third of the entire town. Current valuations lie between 1.5 and 2.5 million euros because of the rapid development in the Nord Pas-De-Calais region of France, spilling over into Somme (this property is just inside the Somme). Should the permission to develop be granted the value is likely to increase by a factor of 4 to 6 times its current price. The property also comes with the website www.chateauquend.com Price Sought: Offers over 1 million euros Contact anu[at]anu.co.uk or call 07825-532630 When replying change [at] to @ |

Central BrittanyLarge stone built farm house and outbuildings in a very small, sleepy, rural village very much off the beaten track. Around 150 square metres habitable. Comprising: Large lounge/ diner (50 square meters) Large kitchen, 3 double bedrooms (the third being the whole of the top floor), Bathroom Provision for second bathroom. There are three large stone outbuildings, mostly in good repair. The house has had extensive renovations carried out and is in a comfortable, habitable condition though there is still some finishing work to do. There is just over an acre of land comprising a small meadow, an orchard, a garden and other parcels within a beautiful, unspoilt , wooded valley with a stream running through. Just about all of the valley and more buildings could be bought for relatively small extra cost allowing a lot of potential for several gites, a small holding or other rural business. A project for someone with an adventurous spirit, who is looking for a completely different lifestyle, at an affordable price that could normally only be dreamed about.  |
