Situated in a leafy suburb, a stroll from the market square of a tiny riverside town, this spacious property requires no work. I liked the fact that there are two bedrooms and a washroom in the ground floor ‘basement’, providing private space for guests. More people are selecting a suburban location: you don’t have to choose between tranquillity and commerce. Why not have both?
The main accommodation (on the first floor) can be accessed internally through the garage or via an external staircase. The entrance hall leads off to a light, airy open-plan living/dining room, with a wood burner fireplace and sliding glass doors out to the front balcony. Behind here is the kitchen, with plenty of space for informal eating. From here a second balcony overlooks the back garden. There is a bathroom (with separate shower) and WC on this level, as well as two double bedrooms (currently carpeted). Downstairs in the ‘sous sol’ are two further double bedrooms, a washroom (WC, bidet, sink), wine cellar, boiler room, storeroom and garage.
Gardens surround the property and the quarter acre back garden is mostly lawn, with a pretty sun-trap terrasse and attractive trees providing plenty of shade.
A two minute walk takes one into the heart of the riverside market town of Civray with its bars, restaurants, artisan shops, cinema, park, summer lido, weekly open-air market and supermarkets. © |
