#6 🏅61% REJECT • €60k • industrial • village • 2200m² hub • Whilst the surroundings don't offer too much variety and its badly connected, the tiny town (2k pop) seems fairly dynamic with unusual attractions — Street Art City (22,000m2 of art by new artists every year!), a velodrome, a (tiny) F1/F3 racetrack and also a lake/leisure area with volley-ball and probably suitable for SUP if we get boards, oh and there's a tennis club. The opportunity to have an incredible space where many of us can congregate and still have lots of personal space may outweigh the negatives.

Property ✧ unusually large with a fantastic top floor having a 4m high roof with full width skylights; all floors have large windows and all rooms would be spacious benefitting from at least one window each looking either west or east onto a courtyard; located on edge of village next to stream, thus lots of view onto nature; with some climbing plants to hide the ugly bits of the building and some garden it could be welcoming
