Bagnoles de l’Orne, Orne, Normandy
€320,000
Magical in both its idyllic setting and fairytale style, this manoir near Bagnoles de l’Orne is not your average property. There are four bedrooms and a self-contained one-bedroom flat on the first floor, with a vast living space downstairs. The second wing of the house is currently used as a vaulted wine cellar, so there’s plenty of space to start your own collection.
Chef-Boutonne, Deux-Sèvres, Nouvelle Aquitaine
€58,850
This lovely property used to be the village shop in a little hamlet outside Chef-Boutonne but is now in need of renovation. Currently there is only a small kitchen, a bathroom and what could be a living room on the ground floor, so there’s no shortage of work to be done. An entire floor above the ground floor and an attached outbuilding also provide further potential to develop the living space. Across the garden and opposite the house is a large barn with land of approximately 1,000m² and enough room for a swimming pool. With a fair amount of TLC, this old shop could make a lovely family home in a quiet and charming rural location. Chef-Boutonne has all the amenities you’ll need for day-to-day living and offers a charming village atmosphere.

There is a large garden with a pool and amazing views over the surrounding vineyards. The house is in the heart of the village with restaurants and shops all within walking distance.
Near Carcassonne, Aude, Occitanie
€995,000
This 19th-century house seems to ooze charm – from the ivy-clad exterior to the parquet floors, marble fireplaces, ceiling cornices and cast-iron radiators that grace the inside; it’s clear that this home has been lovingly restored. With eight bedrooms and five bathrooms, there is plenty of room for friends and family. There is an additional three-bedroom villa, as well as a large barn, which has potential for conversion, an independent office/conference space, garage and summer kitchen, as well as half an acre of south- and west-facing gardens. The property is currently used as a family home, but there is definite potential here for running a chambres d’hôtes/gîte business. With the Pyrénées, the Mediterranean coastline and Toulouse in easy reach, this is an ideal location for it.
