…but you can’t make it drink. Or, as agents say, we can only show you properties, it is you that decides which house to buy. However, if you do have a horse, this property has space for several and with a stream running through the land, a means of quenching its thirst too. The large farmhouse offers a good level of comfort for the owners as well.
This is a spacious home geared towards the family and the rural lifestyle they follow. There is a typical farmhouse kitchen with plenty of cooking and eating space. It opens onto the living room with wood flooring and views out over the land. There are wood burning stoves in both these rooms that offer an alternative to the oil fired radiators. A downstairs WC and bathroom used as a laundry is found off the tiled hallway. There are two large storage areas next to the kitchen, one housing the boiler and log store. Upstairs is a long, parquet landing off which are four bedrooms and the largest fully equipped bathroom I have seen in a while. The septic tank is new and structurally the house and outbuildings all appear in good condition with just some re-decoration inside to bring it up to its best.
The attached barn of 120m² has stabling for five horses. Other useful outbuildings form a courtyard around the front of the house. All offer practical workshop space and hangars for vehicles. The land is gently sloping and surrounds the house on three sides. Three smaller parcels of land, including woodland, are nearby.
The village is ten kms from schools and small shops in Champagne Mouton. The larger market town of Ruffec is a 15 minutes drive. The nearest airports are Poitiers and Limoges both about an hour away.
