This family home is typical of the rural properties on our books but the outside space including an old cottage and ruined barn tucked away in an overgrown corner that goes down to a nearby river gives the property a lot more charm than many others.
You enter direct into a large kitchen and dining area with fitted units and double sink. This is the hub of family life but next door is an even larger living room with traditional stone chimney place and wood burning stove. The stairs go up to three good sized bedrooms with exposed beams and plenty of character in the wood floors. The bathroom is very tastefully done too with double sink, shower and a bath with a view from the window over the surrounding fields.
The property has two barns both in need of new roofs. One is attached to the main house. The other is next to the small cottage that at some point has been lived in but without a huge amount of time or money could be done up for a gite or independent accommodation. The garden is divided into lawn, a vegetable plot and fields and orchard that give access by a small path down to the river.
The house is 3 km from a village with a small shop, restaurant, bar and school. The market towns of Civray and Gencay are twenty minutes drive. The nearest airport is 45 minutes away at Poitiers.
