A 19th-century house with a small apartment, garden and swimming pool in the northern reaches of the Drôme area within Provence, along the Via Agrippa Roman Road. The property is made up of a large family home built in the late 19th century as well as tree-filled grounds of approximately 1 hectare, plus a garage, workshop and small dwelling adjacent to the main house. Around 8,000 m² are currently farmed (under an agricultural lease which ends in 2029) and the land includes a swimming pool, which is a valuable asset in these latitudes during a considerable part of the year. The driveway runs up to the main façade, in the shade of tall trees, surrounded by greenery. The two-storey house seems to have been built over several periods during the last century. As is traditional, it is south facing. The walls of the older part are thick, as was customary in construction in bygone days. They are made of rubble stone and covered in cream coloured rendering. The window and door frames, most of which are rectangular, while the rest are low-arched, are made of ashlar and also rendered. Some of the windows are more recent and double glazed. Most of the windows have brick coloured wooden shutters, while three have metal folding shutters. A triple genoise corbel runs around the bottom of the hipped roof which is topped by zinc ridge caps as well as a chimney stack. The roof frame has been regularly maintained and restored, while the interlocking tiles are in good condition and have been recently cleaned. Lastly, to the right of the building’s main façade, there is a single-storey extension with a symmetrical façade including three low-arched openings, the middle one of which is a glazed wooden door topped by an awning. This habitable annexe, which houses a small apartment, is underneath a roof terrace surrounded by a stone baluster guard-rail with lozenge patterns. The terrace can be reached via its eastern side from the garden by a flight of stone steps with two straight stone balustrades on either side.
