Main entrance door from south-facing patio into kitchen (no step). Since this photo was taken, the old broken woodstove has been replaced, and the (r-hand)internal wall removed, making it a large live-in 'farmhouse' kitchen). 

Kitchen/Dining Room:     (Ground floor; no steps). This is now a large bright and airy room - as shown - with a large African hardwood octagonal dining table, and a couch/single bed at one end. Well-equipped with dressers full of all the crockery & cutlery you'll need, pots & pans etc, a new wood burner, gas(bottle) cooker & oven, fridge / freezer, microwave, vacuum cleaner, iron & board, etc.  A sunny south facing patio with table and chairs is just outside the kitchen door.

Sitting  Room.
(Ground floor; no steps from kitchen).

With its original terracotta tiled floor, a beautifully exposed stone wall, oak beams & staircase, French windows to the patio, and woodstove - this room is the centrepiece of the house. It is furnished with comfortable sofas and a large coffee/games table etc.  There is a CD player and a good supply of CDs and holiday reading to choose from, and board games, to keep everyone busy.  The patio outside the French windows opens onto the grassy garden with parking beyond.

The locally made  oak staircase is a feature of the Sitting Room, and is the access to Bedroom One above.

Bedroom One:
Spacious "master bedroom": double bed (plus double futon, and baby travel cot) in a large, beamed, converted "grenier".  Natural chestnut floor, and views of garden and valley.

Bedroom Two: (up 4 steps with handrail, off the dining/kitchen). One double and one single bed. Separate access (2 steps) out onto South facing patio. Hanging space and chest of drawers.  

Shower Room / washbasin /  WC: (Narrow'ish doorway; ground floor; no steps). Refurbished and re-tiled in late 2009, the shower room is bright and sunny with a wall panel electric radiator. Washing Machine, Hot Water Tank. 

There are five steps (with handrail) up off the road level to the little-used front door, and at the L-hand end of the house there are two steps (no rail) up to the south-facing patio with the main entrance door into the kitchen.

For coming in from the car, we tend to use the alternative (wheelchair) level access into the house from the grassy garden (& garage/car-parking area) which has one step down (removable ramp kept in garage) onto small shady north-facing terrace, then another step down (a second ramp also in garage) through the French windows into the Sitting Room. 

All interior and exterior doorways are normal width, except Shower/WC Room door is possibly too narrow (@ 57cms) for wheelchair access.
