This house surely will get you talking and the décor, complimented by the owners’ own pieces of art on the walls will, I am sure, prove a popular topic of conversation. However, it is the house itself that leaves the greatest impression, being a classic example of a maison de maitre character home.
The wide entrance hallway leads from the front to the rear of the property. There is a massive living room of 65m2 to the right, with wood floors, and a smaller reception room leading through to a useful office on the left. The kitchen is to the rear and goes through to the attached garage and also access out into the garden. Everything in this house appears on a large scale; the staircase being no exception. Rising up from the hallway there are four double bedrooms and a modern bathroom on the first floor. For more living space the attic space above has ample room and large windows making it ripe for conversion. The house is well insulated with double glazing. It could continue to be a comfortable family home, or with added bathrooms make a successful, well located B & B.
The exterior of the house offers an unusually large amount of land for a town house with over half an acre of land. This includes established gardens perfect for out door entertaining in summer, a terrace with the attractive swimming pool, and a gravel path that winds through the lawn grounds to a vegetable plot and separate access from a side street, if needed.
Chef Boutonne has a choice of shops, bars, schools and a weekly market. It is conveniently located at under one hours drive to Poitiers and its international air and rail links.
