Introduction

This magnificent bourgeois house, built in 1720, comprises two separate homes. It was recently a very sucessful B&B business and could be again! It is close to l'Isle jourdain, a pretty thriving village, but also in the countryside with the old railway line giving access to miles of bridleways and country lanes, ideal for cyclists and horse lovers. The property is fully fenced with wrought iron entrance gates leading to a large open space for parking and also 2 garages at each end of the property, plus a workshop with attic above.
