Property description

This lovely property, with over half an acre of grounds, comprises a 4 bed main house and a 2 bed gite, and is situated in a pretty village near to the market town Chef Boutonne where there is good local commerce as well as a beautiful castle which every year holds a huge antiques fair/car boot sale in its grounds as well as other events throughout the year. There is good access to the airports of Poitiers, La Rochelle and Limoges, the TGV station at Ruffec, and various ferry ports. The property is believed to date from the 1830's, and is characteristic of the region with its exposed stone walls and beams. It is double-glazed and benefits from gas central heating. The main house has tiled floors throughout on the ground floor which comprises a large fitted dining-kitchen (26m2) with fireplace. The "insert" logburner vents warm air to the bedroom above. There is also a fireplace in the cosy lounge (30m2) with woodburner. The dining-room (13m2), has an impressive mezzanine which makes a lovely feature. The conservatory (13m2) is a great addition and many an hour can be spent relaxing in complete privacy. There is also a room of 18m2, currently used as a study, with stairs leading to a bedroom with en-suite shower room. The study could perhaps be used instead as a lounge, therefore making this independant part of the house ideal for guests. Finally on the ground floor there is the family bathroom (13m2) which has a bath with attached shower, a vanity unit and WC. Upstairs, off the landing are a shower room (5.5m2) with wc and handbasin, 2 bedrooms of 18m2 and 10m2 and a 3rd bedroom on the mezzanine of approximately 10m2. The attached gite has a good-sized dining-kitchen of 20.5m2 with wooden floor and a range of fitted units. The washing machine and fridge are included. Off the kitchen is a large lounge of 32.5m2 with exposed stone walls and wooden floor. Upstairs are 2 double bedrooms of 14.5m2 and 13m2, and a bathroom (8m2) comprising bath with shower attachment, wc and handbasin. The entrance to the property is via large wooden gates leading to a gravelled courtyard with ample space for parking. There is a row of stone outbuildings to the left on entering the courtyard comprising a workshop (23m2) which is on 2 levels providing good storage space, a barn (65m2) and an open fronted barn of 65m2. Sitting in between these and a further large barn of around 150m2 is a walled part of the garden which has been specifically designed for playing "pétanque". There is a pretty terrace to the front of the house (which is south-west facing) and a choice of several areas around the property for sitting out and enjoying the sun, including to the rear of the large barn where the garden also has plenty of space for a pool. This is a very attractive property, with potential for income from the existing gite as well as the possibility of creating further gites by converting the outbuildings. So whether you are looking for a family home with space for guests, a business opportunity, or a combination of both, this property could be just for you.
