This sad little cottage is just waiting for a fairy godmother or father to wave a magic hammer and transform it into a pretty home. There is a lot of potential here for someone with reasonably good building skills.
The property has two large rooms on the ground floor. The first was obviously once a kitchen, and has an old open fireplace and beamed ceiling. An opening has been created in the old stone wall to the second room, with its exposed stone and beams, and unusual corner fireplace it could become a spacious lounge. The loft has space for at least three bedrooms and a couple of bathrooms, though there is one low beam to negotiate.
As well as the walled courtyard you see in the photograph, (old car not included), there is a small piece of land across the lane where you could maybe grow your own vegetables.
The property is situated in a tiny hamlet only 15minutes from the pretty market town of La Rochefoucauld, where you will find everything for your day to day needs. Angouleme, which is soon to open its airport to low cost flights from Stansted is only 45 minutes away. © |
