This is a stunning property which would probably cost a few millions in parts of the UK. It is set back from the village lane behind gates and up a private drive. The original house has been extended into an attached barn, providing a fabulous, double height living room. I think this is as good as it gets!
Entering directly into the conservatory, this makes a delightful second living room, bathed in light. The principal reception room is the heart of this house: a spectacular open-plan arrangement with a lounge area with fireplace and an atmospheric space for formal dining. The kitchen has whitewashed beams and a farmhouse feel to it. All four double bedrooms are on this ground floor; one has beautiful floor tiles and is open-plan with its own bathroom, another has its own shower while the other bedrooms share a bathroom. A large attic could be converted if further bedrooms are needed.
To the front of the property are an open barn and little outbuildings. There is an attractive stone patio to the side. Beyond the house is a natural pond (a naturalist’s dream) and a secluded lawn.
The nearby riverside town of Couhé is less than ten minutes’ drive away. It has a hotel, restaurants, bars, bakers, supermarkets, DIY store, public baths, offers access to the Poitiers dual carriageway, scenic riverside walks, a medieval market place and a pavement café culture in the summertime. © |
