Old country houses with their thick stone walls and small windows can seem rather dark to some house hunters. However, this beautifully styled house has been renovated and decorated to let in light throughout, offering a high level of home comfort mixed with the traditional exposed stonework and old beams.
You enter into the tiled living room with its creamy stone walls surrounding the wood burning stove. The property is surprisingly spacious downstairs with a double bedroom, a room used as an office, a bathroom, separate WC, and dining room going through to the modern fitted kitchen with plenty of great looking units and fittings. There are French doors out to the garden from the kitchen. The downstairs bathroom, one of three, has a corner bath. Upstairs off the landing is a second large bathroom with shower and WC. The three upstairs bedrooms are all doubles and the largest has an en suite with a bath with hydro jets. Finally, across the garden, is another building that has had a summer kitchen or utility area installed and also some storage space.
The property has an attractive courtyard garden with terrace area for eating out in. A few steps along the lane is a large plot of land with some fruit trees, a wooden chalet for storage and plenty of space for parking and growing vegetables.
The hamlet is five minutes drive from Brux which has a small shop, bakery and bar restaurant. Lezay is also close by with a larger choice of shops and places to eat out. Poitiers is under an hour away with international train and air links.
