Thank you. We prefer to know the issues with any potential purchase AHEAD of time -- and I knew there must be others who would resonate with this video if they have considered moving to France and buying a home that required renovation. Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Good question! Yes, if the building had been intact since the 18th Century, but it was impacted by quite a few factors over the centuries including repairs with concrete that were falling off the wall. There had been several roof leaks and at one point, the 'concrete bunker' was created as a replacement from another wing that burned down. There was scorching and water damage down there, too. The central wall between the 1700s part of the house and the 1800s addition is a big THICK wall running through all three levels, and yes, it is still there. It's a groovy old house and we DO love it! Come back soon, and thanks for your question.
