Nestling in the heart of the historic village of Salles is this little gem of a 17th Century cottage. Full of surprises at every twist and turn, I couldn’t resist peering into here and poking into there. This house would keep a game of hide and seek going for months!
Accessed through its own private driveway, the ‘pierre apparent’ and iron gates give an indication of what’s in store. Once inside, the property just oozes character with many unusual features including some individual gargoyle tiles in the kitchen! Beautiful stone fireplaces with original beams, original oak staircase, solid oak internal shutters, stone walls and cast iron gates through to the kitchen all feature in this surprisingly spacious property, as do some nice little touches from the artist owner.
Benefiting from a more recent addition which houses the quirky kitchen and downstairs modern bathroom with corner bath this property could do with a little updating in places, but there’s nothing major to stretch the budget. With almost half an acre of garden including a 4 piece medieval vegetable plot and a stone barbeque there’s plenty to enjoy outside as well.
The village is approx 5 mins from La Mothe St Heray with its shops and facilities and approx 10 mins from the larger historic town of St Maixent L’École. Easy access to rail and autoroutes and within 1 hr of Poitiers & La Rochelle. © |
