Character property with separate renovation cottage in Saint-Honoré-les-Bains

Situated in the centre of Saint-Honoré-les-Bains, this characterful and surprisingly spacious property offers approximately 114 m² of living space arranged over several levels. The sale also includes a separate small house in need of renovation. Behind the façade lies considerably more space than you might expect at first glance. Its unusual layout makes the property suitable as either a permanent residence or a holiday home, while also appealing to buyers looking to combine home life with a professional or creative activity.

Considerable investment has already been made in the property in recent years. Much of the interior has been renovated, while the electrical (Biocompatible with shielded cables) and plumbing installations have also been upgraded. The roof has been insulated, and solar panels and a new water heater have been installed. Ecological materials were deliberately chosen during the renovation. The woodwork has been treated with the ecological product Ecoblish to protect against wood-boring insects, while environmentally friendly products were also used for the decorating work.

The main house includes a living room, kitchen, dining room, sitting room, two bedrooms, shower, toilets, several storage areas, an attic and a cellar.

The property is fully double glazed, with wood-effect PVC window frames throughout, and the roof is insulated. Heating is primarily provided by wood, with supplementary electric heating in the bathroom. With an energy rating of D (216 kWh/m²/year) and GES rating B (6 kg CO₂/m²/year), the house also offers an interesting level of energy performance for a property of its age.

One of the more distinctive features is the ground-floor space with its large glazed frontage. This area could work particularly well as an artist’s studio, office, consulting or professional space, workshop, studio or for another project. It therefore adds an interesting dimension for anyone looking to combine a home with a professional or creative activity. Any change of use would, of course, be subject to the applicable regulations and any necessary permissions.

The layout has another unusual feature: there is direct outdoor access from two different levels. At the rear, the property opens onto a quiet cul-de-sac. On the opposite side is the separate small house, which is also included in the sale.

The interior of this additional building requires renovation, but it has one significant advantage: water, electricity and mains drainage are already in place. This provides a good starting point for creating a space to suit your own requirements. Once renovated, it could potentially serve as guest accommodation, an artist’s studio, office or independent living accommodation. Rental use may also be of interest, subject to the applicable regulations and any necessary permissions.

In addition to the pleasant small front garden, the property includes two separate plots of land. These are not directly adjoining the house and form a useful addition to the property.

In short, this is a property for buyers looking for more than simply square metres: it offers character, space and flexibility. The renovations already carried out, upgraded electrical and plumbing installations, roof insulation, double glazing with wood-effect PVC frames, solar panels, additional house with existing utility and mains drainage connections, versatile ground-floor space and two separate plots of land all contribute to the property's considerable potential.

This is a house that really needs to be seen from the inside to fully appreciate its surprising amount of space and unusual layout.
