Situated on the edge of a hamlet, but with no neighbours in sight, this property is extremely large. Not just the house (or is it houses?), not just the outbuildings (which include a cathedral-sized barn), but also the plot itself which covers two and a half hectares. A future gîte complex? A riding school? One thing is for sure, it will only suit someone with grand designs.
The house on the left in the main photo has been fully renovated. There is a fitted kitchen which is open-plan with a large living room containing a stone fireplace and patio doors out to the garden. There is a downstairs shower room and separate WC. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms and a WC. It is possible to access the second house from the upper floor where work has begun on dividing up the large space in order to create bedrooms and a bathroom. Back downstairs, there are three large rooms which need to be renovated. One could create either a vast main property, or transform the remaining rooms into two separate dwellings.
Behind the house is a large field which could become a formal back garden. There is a covered patio area to the side. Between the house and the outbuildings is an enormous courtyard in need of landscaping. The ‘smaller’ barn is large (290m²) and the larger one is simply enormous (600m²).
The sleepy hamlet is a five minute drive from three villages with basic commerce; a fifteen minute drive takes one to Isle Jourdain or Civray where there are bars, restaurants, shops and supermarkets.© |
