Summary

This village property was possibly a former small holding and comes complete with: a 4 bed house, a self contained apartment, outbuildings, swimming pool and almost 1 hectare of land.

Property description

Located in a hamlet just 1km from a village with amenities, and only 5 minutes drive from the market town of Rouillac, this traditional home sits in a generous plot of almost 1 hectare.

Main house

A driveway leads to the sunny, private courtyard to the front of this rustic property, where the front door opens to the entrance hall (11.5 sq metres). The entrance hall bends round slightly to the right, where it opens out into the sitting room (40 sq metres) with it's exposed floor boards and a wood burning stove, the stairs to the first floor also originate from here. To the left of the hallway is a door leading to the kitchen (20 sq metres) with tiled floor and a range of fitted units and appliances. A partition wall has been built to create a separate dining room (also 20 sq metres) and should you prefer, this could easily be re-organised to recreate the original 40 sq metres farmhouse style kitchen. From the dining room there are a set of glazed doors leading to the covered terrace, and on to the garden. There is also a shower room with WC on the ground floor.

On the first floor there is a master suite comprised of a large bedroom (24.5 sq metres) with lovely exposed rafters and an ensuite bathroom (10.5sq metres) with bath, shower washbasin and WC. There are three further bedrooms (11, 7.5 and 6.5 sq metres), which share the family bathroom (5.5 sq metres) that offers bath, washbasin and WC. From the first floor land there is also an interconnecting door to the self contained apartment.

Apartment

The first floor apartment has been created to be entirely separate from the main house, permitting friends and family to stay independently if desired, or allowing the property to be let out in the summer to holidaymakers, whilst allowing the owners to continue living on site. The apartment consists of; a large living space (47 sq metres) with an open plan kitchen, one bedroom (15 sq metres) and a shower room with WC. The apartment also has its own covered terrace to the rear of the property, which is accessed from the living room and is at garden level.

As previously stated the main house has been let-out during the main summer months earning approximately 1000€/wk.

Exterior and outbuildings

Below the apartment is a former stable, which could be used to increase the accommodation to either the main house or the apartment. The outbuildings continue opposite the house with two further barns, easily large enough for further conversion. In an L shape from the house and stable, is an attractive open sided hangar that comfortably houses three cars.

There is a partially sunken above ground swimming pool which is in the process of being fitted with a new liner. The gardens and land total 9500m², and give the possibility of keeping a pony, horse or even a Poitou mule!
