This house displays its unassuming back to the country road (not a busy one), as if it is ashamed or shy. However, as you turn into the courtyard you are greeted by a wonderful surprise: a fabulous longère (longhouse), with attractive pointed stone. There is a beautiful garden, walled barbecue area, orchard, pool and a number of outbuildings.
An entrance hall leads into a farmhouse kitchen with oak beams and plenty of space for informal dining. Behind here is a room doubling up as utility/shower room. The spacious living room has a striking wood burner and revealed stone walls. The final downstairs room is currently a double bedroom with French windows to the garden. It would make a delightful dining room if someone decided to change things around. There is a storage area behind here with attic access. By the hall is a downstairs WC.
Upstairs are two double bedrooms (one vast), a large bathroom, and a separate WC. The house looks onto a formal rose garden with pool and barbecue area to the side. There is a large garage, small outbuildings for storage, a large open barn (ripe for conversion) and a vegetable plot leading on to a beautiful orchard, with panoramic views of fields and open countryside.
A three minute drive away is the market town of Lezay with its supermarket, bars, restaurants, cinema, park, summer lido and one of the largest weekly open-air markets in rural France. © |
