This property matches together two popular requests that we receive from house-hunters: a longère type property (crudely translated as a ‘longhouse’), located in a village away from the main road but retaining commerce. The price is excellent and there is no renovation work required; so unless you want a large garden then this house is well worth a visit.
You can enter the house from either the kitchen or living room. The kitchen is a good size with fitted oak cupboards and room for informal eating. There is a downstairs bedroom, bathroom and WC, useful for guests. For me, the heart of the house is the fifty square metre open-plan living/dining room. It has a large fireplace with wood burner insert and an attractive bar, perfect for an aperitif before dinner. The staircase leads up to a mezzanine area which the current owners use for laundry and ironing. A corridor takes one to three more double bedrooms and a bathroom.
There is a patio in front of the property and a small lawned area around the side. Opposite is a new garage with a workshop area.
Loubillé has a bar/restaurant, hairdressers and a small shop. A short drive takes one to Chef Boutonne, a small riverside town with weekly market, restaurants, shops, banks, cinema, château, fishing lake, supermarkets and a pavement café culture in the summer. © |
