Grange

The owners have recently applied for permission to convert the barn into either:

Each floor of the barn measures approximately 45 m2 as follows:

Ground floor

* Electricity (lighting)

The owners have planning permission to open part of the wall and create a separate access with external staircase. The staircase between the floors could then be removed to create two independent living areas (for example 2 apartments).

There is a private courtyard in front of the barn facing the river with:

* Wood store
* Olive tree

This could be a private area for the barn if converted into accommodation.
