This smart property could make an ideal holiday home or continue its life as a comfortable residence for a single person looking to settle in France. With the friendly village being served by a number of small shops, bars, doctors and schools, all your daily needs are close at hand.
The house is open plan downstairs with a kitchen area to the left as you enter with fitted units and the cooker. The fireplace, with wood burning stove, is opposite; this, plus electric heating throughout, including night storage, and double glazing should keep you snug if there is a cold snap. There is a small dining table and sofa and chairs here too. The shower room with toilet is to the rear next to the door out onto the patio garden. The stairs are new and climb up to the first bedroom, at present used as an office area. It could take a single bed. The main bedroom adjacent is a double and overlooks the garden.
Like the house, the owner has made the best possible use of her space to create a low maintenance garden comprising a patio area for sitting out in and container shrubs too. There is access to the stream running at the bottom through a small lawn area. The garden can also be accessed via a side path. A large garage is a few steps up the lane with electric supply. It offers storage as well as parking or workshop space, if wanted.
Usson has a good choice of small shops, a bar, a restaurant and other amenities. The nearest market town is Gençay with its mediaeval château. Poitiers is the nearest city with international air and train links, at 40 minutes drive, or Limoges airport is an hour and a quarter away.
