If you dream of your own little holiday home in rural France, but your budget is small, this little cottage to renovate is quite a bargain. If you are prepared to get your hands dirty, it wouldn’t cost a fortune to create a cosy two bedroom cottage with some lovely original features.
The cottage consists of two large ground floor rooms. The room at the front has an original stone fireplace and the room at the rear a lovely old evier, (Charentaise stone kitchen sink). Above these two rooms the loft is large enough to create two bedrooms and a bathroom.
At the side of the property is a tiny courtyard garden. There is a large wooden lean-to at the back of the garden which could easily be removed to create extra outside space.
The property is situated in a quiet hamlet, less than five minutes from the shops in the pretty market town of La Rochefoucauld. The Charentaise lake district and the cities of Angouleme and Limoges are all within easy reach. © |
