Large family house in private gated street, a rare find - sleeps 7.  Map

If you have undertaken the almost impossible task of trying to find a large house in the centre of Paris, look no further! This informal town-house is not only a rare find but also boasts its own private street complete with a large gate and digicode blocking access to the public.

The residents of this lovely mews have all contributed to the atmosphere by lining the pavements with plants and trees and of course this outdoor space can be enjoyed in the warmer months for dining or having a drink outside. It is a true haven from the surrounding buzz of the city. You are within walking distance of Montmartre and the Place de Clichy and the nearest métro is 30 seconds walk away at La Fourche.

The house sleeps 7 people in 2 double bedrooms a 1 twin and a single.

The ground floor (23ft3 x 23ft3, 7.10m x 7.10m) is open-plan in style and incorporates the main living area, the dining area and the kitchen. It has been decorated with a mixture of modern and antique with many original painting and photos lining the walls.

The living area has 2 sofas, one double and one triple, a large armchair and a coffee table. Two small steps lead down to a cosy second living room or "TV" room which seats 10 people comfortably on sofa type cushions that line the walls.

The dining area has a large table that seats 8 people. The kitchen area is small but functional and has all the expected appliances. An independent washing room with a washing machine and dryer can be found just behind the kitchen. There is also a ground floor loo.

A small flight of steps leads to a small mezzanine floor where you will find the office area. There is a desk with a computer and broadband internet connection and a small sofa.

From here a small circular staircase takes you to the first floor where 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms are situated

The main bedroom (12ft8 x 10ft7, 3.86m x 3.22m) has a double bed (5ft3, 1.60m), 2 bedside tables with lamps, a clothes hanger, a dressing table and a large 18th century mirror.

The second bedroom has 2 single beds, cupboard space and shelving and a small leather sofa.

A small ladder leads to a small mezzanine floor which has a double matress - sleeping for two.

The main bathroom has a bath tub, a handheld shower, a basin and a loo whilst the second bathroom is similar but without the loo.

Another small spiral staircase leads you to a third bedroom in the attic. Here you will find a single bed, cupboard space, a desk and a velux window.

The area has several convenience stores and you will find a supermarket that opens until 10pm at the end of the street. Only a two minute walk away is the very in-vogue rue des Dames where you can choose from one of the many restaurants that line its pavements.

Try the very popular Bistro des Dames with its wonderful garden, open in the summer months. Be sure to reserve early! If you fancy a drink and some music try the newly opened Kitch'up Bar on the avenue de Clichy where you will find a young trendy in-the-know crowd.

This is a No Smoking property.
