This pretty cottage sits next to a quiet lane that winds up from the River Charente. It has its back to a cliff with steps cut into it to reach the level land above the rooftop where you can create a garden and then sit back with your glass of wine and enjoy the view!
The stable type front door opens onto the flagged dining room with its original fireplace and exposed beams. The terracotta tiled kitchen is at the far end and is fitted with a good range of attractive blue units that complement the “cottagey” feel. To the left is the cosy 23m2 sitting-room which has a wooden floor, beams and a wood burning stove in the corner. The stairs lead up from the dining room to a mezzanine bedroom under a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and exposed stone walls. The spacious bathroom is ahead and has a full sized bath, toilet and a wash hand basin in white. The second bedroom is above the sitting room and also has a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and stone walls. Only very minor redecoration is required to give you a lovely cottage home.
There is parking to the left of the cottage where there is also a tool shed. To the right is a 57m2 barn which could be used to extend the living accommodation. Access to the cliff garden may also be possible from the upper floor of the barn if this was converted, making a really nice feature.
The hamlet is very picturesque with its river and mill. The nearest bakery is 2kms away whilst for a major shop, a choice of bars and restaurants and a twice weekly market, Civray is 8kms away. The international airport at Poitiers is just under an hour away. © |
