Beautiful Beaujolais Property with Pool

The property itself, with it's own private entrance amidst the honeysuckle, is attached to the owner's property and was built in the 1800s in the style typical of the beaujolais region, with a staircase up to the living area. It is situated above the original wine barrel making workshop, and has retained the majority of it's original architectural features, including the exposed stone walls and the arched doorways which used to allow horse and cart access.

Inside the property has recently been carefully and tastefully renovated to create a spacious, light and airy feel. Facing south onto the garden and swimming pool, the sun streams through large windows for most of the day.
