Viewed this on Thursday, One an a half houses and a cute barn, the old owner passed away and the house looks like she just walked out of it yesterday, other than cats managed to get in through a broken window in the cellar so poo everywhere. The view on the way to the house.  The interior   |

.. the old owner passed away and the house looks like she just walked out of it yesterday .. Quite so - the photo of the caps and the umbrella is so poignant. It gives a feeling that the owner has just stepped out the door .. |

She went into an old age home years ago but the house looked like she expected to come back home.
Will post more pictures if we get the properties.

cats managed to get in through a broken window in the cellar so poo everywhere. Poor cats. It's unlikely they were hers as she left so long ago but cats don't normally go indoors to poo. She went into an old age home years ago but the house looked like she expected to come back home. How sad there was no-one to clear the house for her. Are you buying it from the government? Will post more pictures if we get the properties. Hope so. I like the look of it and that photo is very poignant as Sue says. |

It was agent from the tax office that said it was cat poo but saw no animals inside.
It is a very friendly old village in the Cantal,if she did have a cat I'm sure someone would have looked after it.
Will know in a few weeks if we get it.
It's no longer the highest offer that gets the house the decision is now down to the tax office to decide who buys it.
We were there on the first day of viewing people had driven from Switzerland to view and there was people doing remote viewing.
Anything cheap now atracks a lot of viewers.

No idea how she ended up in an old age home, but im sure if you hurt yourself in a fall and you end up in hospital it musr be easy to end up in an old age home. The stair case is what I call a suicide staircase which is almost vertical, her bedroom was on the second floor so not ideal if your frail we are all heading there.  |

It's no longer the highest offer that gets the house the decision is now down to the tax office to decide who buys it. What do they base their decision on if it's not highest offer? Cash purchase? Local buyer? Or don't they tell you? if you hurt yourself in a fall and you end up in hospital it musr be easy to end up in an old age home. The stair case is what I call a suicide staircase which is almost vertical, That's what happens often. People manage as long as they can, sometimes with great difficulty, until an accident sends them to hospital where it's realised they're too frail to be sent home unless there's someone there to care for them. That is a very steep staircase for an elderly person. |
