When the present owners bought this attractive stone house, there was one bedroom, a bathroom, and a small kitchen. After a lot of hard work, it has grown into a versatile family home with three en-suite bedrooms, a new kitchen, and a separate gîte. It would also be perfect for doing B&B.
The main door opens onto the kitchen/breakfast room, which has a useful island unit and integral oven and hob, as well as an insert wood burning fire. To the rear of this room a hallway leads to a large bathroom and a bedroom. On the other side of the kitchen is a huge lounge/dining room, it too has a cosy insert fire, a beamed ceiling and French doors to the patio. The mezzanine above has been enlarged to create a master bedroom with shower and toilet. The third bedroom is next to the lounge, and has its own sitting area and shower room. To the rear of the house is the gîte, with open plan kitchen living room, double bedroom and shower room.
The gardens are attractively landscaped, and the gîte has its own separate courtyard garden. The attached workshop has planning permission to create a second gîte.
The property is situated in a tiny hamlet about 4kms from Champagne Mouton, where you can find everything for your day to day needs. The larger towns of Ruffec and Confolens are a 20 minute drive away.© |
