This house has been well renovated and is a proper family home. In addition, it is wonderfully flexible: the ground floor ‘basement’ could be used as a fully independent guest apartment.
The main accommodation is on the first floor. The kitchen is light and modern, with plenty of space for a table, although the current owners are using one of the bedrooms as a formal dining room. The heart of the house is the enormous living room with its wood burner and French windows out onto the balcony. There is an updated family bathroom, separate WC and three bedrooms with parquet floors. Down in the ‘sous sol’ there is a kitchenette – or summer kitchen – semi-open plan with a living room. There are two further bedrooms and a shower. One can access the garden from here. There is a storage room and integral garage on this level.
The formal gardens surround the house. There is an outbuilding and an in-ground swimming pool.
Melle offers supermarkets, shops, bars, restaurants, cinema, indoor swimming baths and a pavement café culture. Poitiers is 35 minutes away for international airport and TGV railway station. © |
