Rich with history dating back to 1580, this gem could be yours for a steal
{This post contains Affiliate Links}
Welcome to a property where time truly stands still! This stunning village house, dating back to 1580, is a former clockmaker and jeweler's home that has been tastefully updated to provide all the modern comforts while preserving its rich historical charm. Up until about 2018, it was also recently run as a boutique Tea Salon and Bed & Breakfast (hence the inviting "curb appeal").
As soon as you step inside, you'll be struck by the abundance of period features that give the house its character. The vast floorboards, original plasterwork, marble fireplaces, built-in cupboards, and stone walls transport you back in time, while the updated windows and lighting ensure that the house is bright and welcoming. And let's not forget about the original shopfront, which has been preserved and now forms part of the house - it's a true "timepiece" of the property.

The ground floor, which was likely the original kitchen and cellar, has been transformed into a cozy gathering room with an original fireplace and wood burner. The exposed wood beam rafters and flagstone flooring create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Perfect for a cozy night in with friends and family.
The main level, entered from the street from the original storefront, is characterized by large display windows painted a cheery blue color and includes a large sitting room and dining area with parquet flooring and painted beadboard ceiling.
This level also features a large professionally equipped kitchen with a gas range and a built-in wall of pantry, perfect for armchair chefs. But this former commercial kitchen does not lack personality, as period features are in abundance, from the wood beams to terracotta tile floors, with a perfectly positioned door for terrace access.

The property is also designed to make the most of the beautiful surroundings. The rear terrace, overlooking the countryside, is the perfect spot for alfresco dining, and the balcony, with its fabulous views, is the perfect "watchtower" for a morning coffee. It's the perfect place to soak in the natural beauty and tranquility of the village.
Overall, this property is a true "gem" among properties, with a unique blend of historical details, modern comforts, and a great location. Each level offers a different experience and atmosphere, but all are harmoniously connected.
