This is the kind of property people fall in love with after viewing dozens of others. Just when on the point of giving up, they walk up the driveway and their dream house they have been looking for years for is finally before them. Creamy stone façade, flagstone floors, exposed beams and wood burning stoves in old fireplaces. Surrounded by an acre of your own land and a project barn too, this could be the home you have been searching for.
An entrance hall has the instant wow effect with flagstones and pointed stone. There is a farmhouse size kitchen one side, with modern fitted units. Opposite is a large lounge with dining area totalling 55m². To the rear of the house is a utility area and fully fitted bathroom with bath and walk in shower. Upstairs, are five bedrooms but you may wish to convert one to an upstairs bathroom. Whilst the master bedroom has an ensuite, and there is separate WC, it may avoid queues for the shower when you have a house full. All the bedrooms are doubles, have wood flooring and are well presented. The roof has been completely renewed ( 2011).
The house has a practical, south facing covered terrace for eating out. The land is divided into two sections; one, a large lawn area; the other, contains some fruit trees and extends onto the drive and courtyard. The barn is detached and could either be converted or make a practical workshop / garage space. The roof will need attention. There are also some smaller stone outbuildings for storage.
The house is on the edge of a quiet hamlet located between the two market towns of Ruffec and Chef Boutonne. Both towns are 12kms away and have supermarkets, schools and restaurants. Poitiers is the nearest town for international air and train links and is under an hours drive away.
