Many ex-UK residents come to this region because it offers them the British dream of a home and land in the countryside mixed with French lifestyle and sunnier days. If that is what you are dreaming of then here we may have your escape to the country solution.
The house is a longère farmhouse so you enter direct into the kitchen with its tiled floor and cosy wood burning stove. The home has been redesigned from when it would have been one room leading to another. A corridor off the kitchen is where you go to find the rest of the existing rooms including a large living room with dining area. The stove here ducts some of the heat to the rest of the house. There are four bedrooms, a bathroom and utility room. There is some finishing off to do such as plaster boarding and general decoration and there are plans for a four bedroom extension and expansion up into the loft too, if more space is needed.
It is the exterior that really makes this place special. Surrounded by its own fields and woods the garden too has been well maintained. There are two detached barns. One, adjacent to the property making a useful garage, the other is further up the garden and has outline planning permission for change of use to a habitation. The property also has a small pond. The hamlet has all French neighbours.
Champniers bakery is 2kms away. There is another village with bar and small shop at 5kms. Civray is the nearest market town at less than 15 minutes drive. Poitiers has international air and rail links and is 45 minutes drive away.
