This house really is as pretty as it looks, with a lovely rural location on the edge of a hamlet. The accommodation is all on the ground level but the upstairs is already boarded out with a roof insulated ready to take extra rooms up stairs. The picture perfect idyll for your new home in France.
I entered directly into the modern kitchen that has also retained the old wood beams, a stone sink and “bulls eye” window. The adjacent room is the lounge, which has both flagstones and tiles in front of a wood-burning stove set in the stone fireplace. The first bedroom is off a corridor to the rear of the house, as is the bathroom. The bedrooms have original wide oak floorboards. The second bedroom is off the kitchen and has an en suite shower room. Up stairs is the large open attic space that has been tastefully floor boarded and ready for you to decide how to divide up, or leave as is.
The property has a gravelled entrance drive and some flowerbeds and a sitting out area close to the house. The large barn is attached and the roof looks in excellent condition. The pool is behind the house and surrounded by a terrace area. It is unusually long and thin for a pool as the previous owners’ daughter was a competitive swimmer. However, it is heated and the water can be either salt or chlorine maintained. The rest of the land includes lawn, established fruit trees and has pleasant views over adjacent fields.
The property is under ten minutes drive from the market town of Civray on the River Charente. Here, most of your weekly shopping needs can be met. Poitiers is under one hour away for international train and air links.
