Character Provencal village property, situated in the medieval village of Malijai.
Malijai has developed alongside the river Bléone on the ancient route of Napoleon in a triangle between the spa town of Digne les Bains to the North East, Sisteron known as the gateway to Provence to the North West and the medieval town of Forcalquier to the South West.
At the heart of the village is an impressive Chateau built in 1770 (now the town hall)
The house is ideally situated for easy access to tourist areas such as the Plateau de Valensole famous for its lavender fields and nearby Gorges du Verdon. The village has easy motorway access for Aix en Provence, Marseille and the Mediterranean coast
The property would make an ideal holiday home.
It is accessed by a stone staircase which leads onto a sun terrace which lends itself for alfresco dining / apero
From the terrace you enter a well equipped open plan kitchen/diner/living area.
A spiral staircase leads to a bedroom which opens onto the shower area with shower cabinet, double vanity unit and dressing area. The dressing area has a large storage unit and plenty of shelving; the room is plumbed for a washing machine.
The bedroom is surprisingly light with new Velux roof lights with shutters together with a front facing window with shutters. There are also spotlights above the sleeping area.
From the bedroom there is a door to a separate WC
Underneath the terrace there are 3 cellars, one is tiny but the other 2 are full size that you can stand up in perfect for storing wine obviously but also bikes, portable BBQ and household materials
The larger of the 2 cellars houses the water meter and has stairs leading down to another cellar/tunnel (possibly an historic underground connection to the Chateau)
The property which has modern conveniences, still maintains some of its original character with exposed beams, cellars and wooden shutters.
This is a small property, but its open plan aspect gives an illusion of space.
There is no work to do and recent work on the roof carries a 10-year guarantee
In terms of security, the Mairie has installed security cameras in the village, and there is one opposite positioned directly at the property.
In summary this is an ideal holiday home (in a village with all the basic amenities and a couple of Restaurants), which could be let whilst not in use. This for a price which I can only describe as a "gift"
Don't hesitate as this will only be on sale until the end of August and if not sold as hoped will be withdrawn from sale and rented out
