Here is a home for those needing to be close to water. This cottage needs some work but already has double glazed windows; new, insulated roof and an oil fired boiler. The babbling brook running alongside the house and garden offers a unique feature.
The present living space is on the second level. There is a hallway from the front door with large rooms either side, one with a fireplace. The kitchen is to the rear and is basic, with just a sink. Similarly, the WC and shower room is functioning but you may want to update it or put one above. The attic space totals 67 m2, plenty of space and head height for bedrooms and bathrooms up here. Access is by a temporary staircase but there are options in respect of where to site a new one. Below this floor is a large cellar and the boiler room, one with original flagstones and the former already tiled.
Outside, the garden borders the stream and is level. To the rear there are two storage sheds. You can step out into the garden from the kitchen, down some steps, or enter it from a narrow drive that goes into the cellar and then into the garden.
The village has a bakery and bar. It is situated between the market towns of Ruffec and Civray, both have shops, bars and schools to easily meet daily needs. Th nearest airports are Limoges and Poitiers at around one hour’s drive.
