Home description
The twisting medieval streets of Caux. A row of ordinary-looking tumble-down village houses. Step through the door into this property and you will be amazed.
Entering directly into the living room, you will see the original high vaulted ceiling that formed part of the original rampart fortress. Beautifully restored to an extremely high standard, this air-conditioned property is a tasteful and fascinating mixture of original features and modern luxuries.
A fantastic winding staircase lifts you throughout the house - its huge air-conditioned master bedroom, large, immaculate bathroom, air-conditioned summer kitchen and living area opening to a spacious roof terrace with panoramic views over the village and vineyards beyond.
