Built from 1499 to 1512 to accommodate the six priests serving the local Chateau, this Priory oozes original authenticity and charm. With walls up to a meter thick in places, and retaining heavy oak doors and ironwork, original flagstone floors and stairs, high oak-beamed ceilings and great stone fireplaces, the stunning features are wonderfully complimented by modern conveniences ensuites throughout, central heating and everyday comforts, the subject of complete renovation over the last ten years.
Situated on the perimeter of a village of major historical importance, the Chartreuse benefits from a villagey feel to the front with its wonderful courtyard opening directly onto cobbled streets, whilst to the rear enjoys privacy and stunning uninterrupted views over rolling countryside. It offers ample gated parking, wonderful terraces from which to enjoy the panorama, and a compact, low-maintenance garden. It is equally suited to a year-round private residence or great lock-up-and-leave holiday home.

Project to Renovate
Attached to the eastern end of the building is a two storey atelier set over two stone-vaulted caves together with a full height bread oven. They benefit from a new roof and sound walls, but are otherwise to restore if one so wished. It would give at least another bedroom suite, and could make a fantastic self-contained apartment.
GARDEN
The landscaped garden is beautiful and varied in feel but modest in size - plenty big enough for a wonderful garden party, but sufficiently small to be easily manageable. Planted with trees, shrubs and flowers to ensure colour and perfume from Spring to Autumn inclusive, it is private, and yet enjoys stunning views over the surrounding countryside.
