Two large joined stunning stone barns with FULL detailed planning permission for conversion into main 5/6 bed dwelling plus gites in the second 'Mouton' barn.

The barns form a courtyard in a small hamlet just outside Saint Claud.

The barns are in an elevated position overlooking its own 17 acre plot and the surrounding open countryside and village in the distance. The barns are excellently positioned on the edge of the village green surrounded by seven occupied homes - so private but not isolated.

Around the back and side of the barns is all the land and it isn't overlooked at all so secluded and very private.

Also note no road noise or light pollution at all.

Whilst being in a quiet location, the barns are only 2.5km from central Saint Claud with all its shops, restaurants, Maire, schools, doctors, etc.

We have started work on the main barn with the roof being completely rebuilt using genuine oak beams (reclaimed where possible) and completely re-roofed (the second barn doesn't need doing).

Also new zinc gutters and downpipes have been installed around both barns.

We have installed a new Fosse Septique (sewerage) which has been passed by the authorities and is large enough for the main 5/6 bed barn.

All services are also installed with a tempory 8kw electric supply in place and water up to a standpipe in the courtyard. Service trenches and ducts have been installed right into the barns.

There is also a 60,000 underground 'citern' which is a large water tank which collects all the rainwater from the barn roof for irrigation and general non drinking use.

The old farmhouse is the only neighbour and it's used as a holiday home for a delightful French couple.

There are two other English families who have property surrounding the village green.

The land is tended FOC by local French farmers who collect the hay every year and keep it tidy and mowed. We have planted 300 hedging plants around the boundaries that will grow into the most stunning red and green hedge.

It breaks our heart to sell after getting so far but a change in personal circumstances changes everything.

Everyone who has seen the barns are very impressed including the French.

We have detailed Architects plans and all the contacts you will need to see the project through to completion. It could be up and running in 6 to 9 months . I even have a superb French builder lined up.
