If you are thinking of moving to France and worried about the range of choice out there, look no further. This property is a smart move offering a well presented, well laid out and well maintained home, set in a rural location but just five minutes drive from a town meeting all your needs.
The main rooms have cream floor tiles that start in the hallway you enter from the sunny covered patio. The dining room with ornamental fireplace, that easily could contain a working stove, opens onto the fitted kitchen with double sink and attractive wooden units. There is a separate lounge area with a cosy, wood burning stove. As all the accommodation is on the ground floor this stove, supplemented by individual radiators, adequately warmed the house when I visited on a very fresh February day. There are three double size bedrooms with wood flooring in the more recently added extension, and a large, if slightly dated, bathroom. Back through the kitchen is another small room currently used as an office. There are built in wardrobes in the bedrooms and more storage in a cloakroom cum utility room off the hallway which at present houses the freezer.
The garden surrounds the house and contains established fruit trees and attractive patio areas on the south facing side of the house, one offering a covered terrace area. The land extends into part of a field behind the house. The garage is huge and could contain workshop space, if required.
The property is situated in a quiet hamlet just five minutes drive to the traditional market town of Civray on the river Charente. Poitiers airport is under an hour away and Limoges, a little further, has regular flights to the UK.
