Exquisite town house conveniently located in the centre of the picturesque village of Archez, 25 minutes from the coast and a short hike to the National Park. Accommodation This extraordinary property has been extensively refurbished in a Gaudi style, retaining immense character and quirkiness whilst benefiting from updates such as solar water heating and gas-fired central heating, making a cosy all year round dwelling. The accommodation is spread over 3 floors, each of 35 m2, totalling 105 m2, and comprises a reception room and large utility and storeroom with boiler on the ground floor, a double bedroom and large bathroom with shower, bidet and open fireplace used for the heating flues on the first floor, and a second bedroom, and open plan kitchen and dining room on the second floor. Stairs from here go up to two roof terraces, one south-facing with views down to the river and another to the rear housing the solar installation. Features The windows are full length traditional wood single glazed, with stained glass and fly screens, and Juliette balcony overlooking the small square in front of the house. All the floors and part of the walls are tiled in mosaic, a unique work of art that make the house utterly special. An interior vent traverses the whole house to distribute heat and air to all rooms, with wall radiators providing heat in winter. The kitchen is cosy and simple with an electric hob and mosaic sink. Mains electricity and water are connected and fibre optic is available. Exterior A spacious roof terrace with mosaic seating area provides some wonderful outdoor space, as does the private terrace in front of the house, with space to park a small car or motorbike. Summary A superb buy in a traditional village.
