As rural bakers and bar/restaurants close – a sad fact of modern life – more and more French people are moving to pretty riverside market towns. In terms of population size they are similar to English villages but with a wide range of amenities. With this particular property you are seconds away from the market square and a wide selection of shops and restaurants. The setting is both central and calm with the added bonuses of a garage and a second cottage ready to rent out.
The kitchen is a good size and has two utility rooms (with sinks) to house ‘white goods’. The large living room is very much the heart of this house with a fireplace for cosy winter evenings. There is an enormous wine cellar with full head height. On the first floor are three double bedrooms with the original floor boards, a bathroom and separate WC.
The outside space consists of a large inner courtyard which leads onto the garage with a convertible attic above. The second cottage is attached to the garage, with a kitchenette, downstairs bedroom, shower room and attic.
The small riverside market town of Chef Boutonne offers full shopping facilities, bars, restaurants, supermarkets, cinema, fishing lake, museum, chateau, park and pavement café culture. © |
