casa for Køb i Billom, Auvernia-Ródano-Alpes

This former convent with approx. 380 sqm of living space, set in more than 1,000 sqm of beautifully wooded, unoverlooked, peaceful grounds, is a privileged location close to all amenities. The property, in need of renovation, has been transformed over time and redesigned into four flats, making it ideal for a bed & breakfast, gite or co-ownership activity. From the street, behind the large gate, a beautiful avenue of lime trees leads to the various entrances. The house is laid out from the vast vaulted hall and its grand Volvic stone stairway. The ground floor of approx. 170 sqm has retained its period architectural features, with high ceilings adorned with mouldings, attractive parquet flooring and fireplaces. It faces due south and opens on to a lovely, vast stone terrace and the garden. From the entrance hall, it comprises a study and a mezzanine converted into a bedroom, a bathroom and then a first living room, a surprising kitchen with its beautiful exposed stone walls built around the spiral stairway column, a dining room, a lounge and a second bedroom with its bathroom. The first floor comprises three vacant flats, two of which were renovated in 2006. The largest, 88sqm, faces south and offers a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and toilet. The second, measuring 66sqm, comprises a living room, a kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Finally, the smallest apartment, 57sqm, comprises a kitchen, bathroom, utility room/storeroom, living room, bedroom and small bedroom or study facing south. These last two flats can be combined into one. A large basement with vaulted cellars and attic space of approx. 260 m2 that could be converted into a loft complete this property.
