Elegant 18th Century House In The Heart Of The Village.

This elegant early 18th-century property enjoys a privileged position in the historic heart of Cabrieres-d’Avignon, its exterior flanked by an old stone lavoir with working fountain, an iconic reminder of yesteryear’s Provencal village life. The house has been home to writers, artists and photographers, no doubt drawn by its light-filled interior, charming authentic architectural features, and peaceful setting. The village bakery, grocery and bistro are only a few minutes’ walk away.

The accommodation comprises on the ground floor: impressive entrance hall with stunning harlequin floor tiles leading to a handsome staircase; bright eat-in kitchen with cosy fireplace and adjacent utility room; vaulted dining room (with majestic stone fireplace) and sitting room separated by a distinctive stone archway; laundry and guest WC. The graceful windows on this floor are all south-facing and there are exposed wooden ceiling beams throughout.

The first floor is composed of: principal bedroom with en suite bathroom, featuring a claw-foot bath tub, WC and closet; spacious guest bedroom with original terracotta floor tiles; guest shower room; second guest bedroom; office or third guest bedroom with south-facing Juliet balcony. Natural light floods in through the skylight above the stairwell. The original patterned cement floor tiles have been lovingly brought back to life, providing a particularly pretty visual throughout this floor.

The second floor accommodates: spacious 62m2 loft space (divided currently into three sections: bedroom, library and TV room) with high cathedral ceilings, skylights and windows to the south and the north, affording views of the chateau and Foret des Cedres.

Amenities include: oil-fired central heating and reversible A/C on the second floor; two fireplaces; mains drainage; mains water; fibre-optic internet; alarm.

The property presents a unique opportunity to own one of the oldest houses in the village. The kitchen and bathrooms were completely renovated in 2023 in a style to blend seamlessly with the rest of the house, where eye-catching Provencal features are a delight in every room. Within easy reach by car of the Luberon’s famous perched villages such as Gordes, Roussillon and Menerbes, and just an hour from Marseille airport and Avignon TGV, the house is ideal as either a main residence, a holiday home, or a rental investment.
