This cosy farmhouse is set back in the heart of its own courtyard, outbuildings and large peaceful garden. With approved architect’s plans for a 1 and 2 bedroom gite in the single storey stone buildings this property is ready for those looking to develop a gite complex in a pretty setting.
We entered the house at the back into a small sunny hallway with its twisting wood staircase. Straight ahead was the kitchen/breakfast room which has tiles in a delicate shade of green. The living room can be reached from the kitchen or the hall and has polished flagstones on the floor, dark beams on the ceiling and exposed stone walls – all the result of patient renovation. The efficient wood burning stove heats the house by conducting air through pipes. The other door from the hall leads to the downstairs dining room which has a Charentaise fireplace, original parquet floor. Upstairs is a prettily fitted bathroom with a large white bath and twin wash basins. The water heater and the laundry room are through another door here. The toilet is separate. There are also three good sized bedrooms on this floor.
The garden seems to go on forever with a stunning 12 X 6 metre pool, terrace and summer kitchen, fruit trees and a small vineyard. All very peaceful and private. In the courtyard at the front is a large hangar (2 stone sides, 2 open sides) a large barn which has parking for three cars, with attached office space and the row of single story animal sheds with building plans.
The hamlet is close to Lizant which has first schools, a bar/restaurant and baker. For the supermarket and all other daily requirements, the market town of Civray is only 8kms away.© |
