village house for sale Melay, Haute-Marne

Beautiful, large, authentic detached house located in the village of Melay, nicknamed "the Ibiza of the North". This unique property features two separate entrances connecting two semi-detached houses, making it an ideal project for a large family home or a hospitality venture. The entire property requires a full renovation, but the core structure appears sound.On the ground floor, you will find two old kitchens equipped with authentic period fireplaces, vintage built-in cupboards, original flooring, and oak-beamed ceilings. This level also includes two spacious living rooms with old oak floors, which will need partial replacement.Upstairs, the living space offers four large, characterful bedrooms with exposed beamed ceilings and wooden floors, alongside an outdated bathroom. Above this, the large attic provides excellent potential for creating additional rooms, supported by a roof timber structure that still looks in good condition.The exterior features two courtyards and driveways leading to both houses and very large barns. The old stables include a walk-through to the rear, which opens up to a very large, private garden with unobstructed views over the surrounding fields. An additional old bread oven is located along one of the courtyards. Water, electricity, and mains drainage (at the street) are available. A lot of house for a very low price, but a true fixer-upper.
