Accessible from the hamlet’s main lane leading to the church, the U-shaped dwelling, built out of local stone and with a floor area of approximately 160 m², includes a courtyard providing access to the building’s three vaulted cellars.
Nestled within the hamlet, the understated dwelling, remodelled over successive periods since its construction in the 19th century, features three floors as well as cellars, while the majority of its wood-framed windows are single glazed except for the sliding wood-framed, double-glazed door, which provides access to the rooftop terrace.
As for its barrel tile roof, bordered by a single genoise cornice and recently repaired, it is typical of local architecture, whereas the dwelling’s small courtyard is festooned in wisteria, which ascends all the way to the second floor patio, which it shades with its thick purple blossoms.
If the ground floor contains the usual living room, as well as a bedroom with a lavatory, it is on the last floor, under the eaves, where the kitchen is located, along with the rooftop terrace and another bedroom, while the first floor includes two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The Dwelling

With an understated main façade in pointed rubble and ashlar stone – only the terrace’s walls are coated in plaster – as well as windows and doors surrounded by ashlar stone, the dwelling’s ground floor is bathed in light thanks to five windows, while four provide ample sunlight for its first floor. Two more bathe the top floor in light, including a wide sliding glass door that opens on to the patio, whereas all the wood-framed windows feature single glazing, including two that are safeguarded by wood-stained shutters.
As for the last floor, it also comes with two skylights, which flood these attic rooms with light, while the dwelling is accessible via a glazed wooden door on its ground floor, preceded by a couple of stone steps on the left side of its northern street-facing façade.

The ground floor
The front door opens on to a living room with a straight-plank pine parquet floor, while a wood-burning stove has been installed in the hearth of the former Languedoc fireplace, topped with a lintel and brackets decorated with blue and white ceramic tiles. To the left of the entrance, a former stone sink, clad in the same earthenware tiles, has been preserved in its masonry alcove, while, in addition to the glazed front door, a window to the west bathes this space in plenty of natural light.
Between two masonry bookcases, framed by wood panelling, a doorway provides access to a room illuminated from the east, which communicates, on the left, with a lavatory and a shower room decorated with mosaics, whereas, at the end of the hallway on the right, after a couple of steps, a bedroom enjoys views of the courtyard. In addition, this part of the dwelling features red terracotta floor tiles, whitewashed walls and natural or white wood-panelled ceilings highlighted with honey-colour beams.
The first floor
This floor is accessible via the straight, whitewashed masonry staircase, located directly opposite the dwelling’s entrance, followed by a glazed wooden door, which opens on to small corridor, with a window, sprung flooring and a sofa bed. This hallway communicates with a lavatory and a bathroom, which is also used as a utility room, while, to the right, a wooden door opens on to an immense bedroom with red terracotta floor tiles, milky white ceilings and walls, one section of which is clad in white-painted panelling, as well as two windows whose wood frames have been painted bright blue, adding a Hellenistic-like quality to this space.
Lastly, from the hallway and accessible via a step, another bedroom, similarly decorated, features a window facing west towards the courtyard as well as a wardrobe near its entrance.
The second floor
A staircase identical to the one in the living room, provides access to the kitchen with its dining area, nestled under the dwelling’s gable roof and bathed in light by two picture windows and a skylight, whose walls alternate between pointed stone and lime plaster, while its light-colour sprung flooring and its Havana tobacco wood-panelled ceilings and visible beams create a warm and inviting ambiance.
On this same level, past an original wooden door, a living room, with terracotta floor tiles, a skylight and a window facing west, can be used for multiple purposes, such as a sitting room, a study or a bedroom, given the presence of a bed, while from the kitchen, three steps lead to the rooftop terrace, of more than 20 m², which enjoys views of the village’s rooftops and the surrounding countryside.
Festooned in stunning wisteria, which provides a pleasant touch of vegetation and colour to this mineral-like refuge, and whose flowering branches, exude their sweet and slightly spicy perfume come spring, this rooftop terrace promises many pleasant moments of conviviality or relaxation, sheltered from view behind its low walls.
The basement
Three cellars, each with approximately 20 m², are accessible from the exterior courtyard. Vaulted and built out of stone with either beaten earth floors or large schist slate flagstones, two of them come with electricity and are used as the dwelling’s machine room as well as for storage.
