There are lots of house-hunters who request a property in a ‘very French neighbourhood’ rather than an ‘ex-pat enclave’. This house is located up a drive in a quiet side road in this pretty riverside town. Although benefiting from a secluded walled patio, the property is surrounded by French owners who prefer the convenience of town life, albeit in the tranquillity of the ‘backstreets’.
This is an old stone house which has been completely renovated inside by the current owners. The modern fitted kitchen is open-plan with a vast living space, attractively tiled with French windows to both the front drive and the back patio. A further room downstairs is either a study/spare bedroom or a utility room. There is a downstairs WC. The original wooden staircase leads up to three double bedrooms – two with the original wood flooring - and a fantastic bathroom which includes a state-of-the-art shower cubicle and heated towel rail.
Outside is divided into three areas: a walled patio with decking, a small lawn to the side and a driveway to the front.
The riverside town of Civray offers bars, restaurants, shops, supermarkets, cinema, summer lido, camp site, traditional weekly market and typical pavement café culture. © |
