Situated in the Aix countryside, just 1 kilometre from the village of Puyricard, this very pretty former farm building is part of a classified protected hamlet. Bordered by a line of cypress trees and surrounded by fields, the property is quite private. Puyricard is a peaceful village with basic food shops, a bank and a Friday morning markeet in the main square. The city of Aix en Provence is just a 10 minute drive away. The property has been restored with much care and respect for tradition to create a typical Provençal stone farmhouse with pale green shutters. The original beamed ceilings and tiled floors have been retained, and the light and spacious rooms have been painted in warm colours and furnished with country antiques. Amenities include satellite TV, VCR, stereo and internet access (on request). To one side of the main house is a charming covered dining area with barbecue, wrought iton tables, garden chairs and pots of colourful flowers. To the front is a gravel terrace with traditional stone seating area, leading to the garden with swimming pool (12 x 6m, step access, and alarmed for safety of young children). The garden is filled with flowering shrubs and trees and extends to the edge of the surrounding fields, where there is a children’s swing and views over the countryside. There is also table tennis a table football.
