Auvergne awaits you, offering a new life of character in this elegant manor house that will captivate you with its incredible potential! Located in Château-Gaillard, in the commune of Thiers, the world capital of cutlery, just two minutes from the A89 motorway (35 minutes from Clermont-Ferrand - 45 minutes from Vichy - 1 hour from Roanne - 1 hour 20 minutes from Lyon). In a rare setting for the area, this historic house has retained all the charm of Auvergne's bourgeois architecture: its Volvic stone window and door openings will seduce you with their shape and the typical grey color of the region. With a total surface area of 453m² spread over 5 levels, it offers multiple possibilities for interior design. On the ground floor, you enter the hall, which has a built-in wardrobe. This hall leads to the main living area of 68 sq m, featuring a large marble and stone fireplace. There is also a 19 sq m sitting room, also equipped with a fireplace, and a 12 sq m room with plumbing for a shower room and WC. A wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find four rooms ranging from 16 to 20 sq m, one of which has a small balcony overlooking the garden. Each room has space for built-in wardrobes, and a small 4 sq m room could be used as a dressing room. A 97 sq m open space on the second floor offers the possibility of creating additional bedrooms or a dedicated relaxation or play area for children. From the main room on the ground floor, you can access two lower levels of the house. Level -1 has two rooms of 18 and 19 square meters opening onto the garden with three large windows, while level -2 leads directly onto the 2,000 square meter plot, which is also accessible from the road. This lower level includes several spaces: two vaulted cellars, a storage room, and an entrance hall suitable for storing equipment, bicycles, or garden tools. This house requires complete renovation: plumbing, electricity, heating, windows and doors, insulation, and part of the roof needs replacing (half of the roof has already been replaced). It also needs to be connected to the public sewer system, the connection point for which is located very close to the house entrance. Renovation budget of at least €350,000. Property tax: €1,145 (2025). As the property is not currently equipped with a heating system, the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is therefore unavailable.
