An extended, converted sheep barn made of old stone with a 2,600m² tree-dotted garden with a pool, nestled in a village near Brignoles in south-east France. From the road, you reach the house via a cul-de-sac that is a few dozen metres long. When the stone sheep shed was first built, its floor area only covered 30m² with an upstairs room in the western section and walls around 50 centimetres thick. In 1985, this building was extended: two small stone sections were adjoined to it. These extensions have kept the structure’s original style. Their gabled roofs have ridges in parallel to the original sheep shed’s roof ridge. All the roofs have barrel tiles. The window and door lintels are either made of stone or timber. Today’s enlarged building offers a liveable floor area of around 133m². It has four bedrooms. One of these bedrooms has a separate entrance, so it could be a guestroom or it could be rented out. It is a spacious bedroom. The grounds are virtually flat and form a rectangle. Two separate entrances lead into the grounds. The southern section slopes slightly. The northern edge is demarcated with a small stone wall and a row of olive trees. Several pines mark the property’s eastern edge. The house stands on the plot’s western side. Most of the grounds are open, taken up by a vast lawn. A wire fence separates a swimming pool from the rest of the garden. This pool is around 10 metres long and 4 metres wide. There are two wells on the grounds. One of them probably dates back to the stone sheep shed’s period of construction. These wells provide water for watering the garden and filling the swimming pool.
