The property: This recently converted open-plan studio apartment is comfortably furnished in a modern Provencal style and has traditionally tiled floors with underfloor heating. Two French doors lead directly from the living room/ bedroom area to the private paved patio which has views across the valley to the Luberon Mountains. There is a spacious shower room with large walk in shower, underfloor heating and modern fittings. 

The apartment is attached to the main house but has total privacy. It would suit artists, writers or those wanting a comfortable base while house hunting.
