Summary

Renovated village house for sale with a cottage ideal for rental, plus a large stone barn offering further development opportunities.

Property description

The longère-style house and barn face each other across a pretty courtyard and the independent cottage once formed part of the barn. There is ample space in the courtyard for enjoying the sunny climate, as well as a detached garden located just across the lane.

House

Ground floor

Entering into the dining hall (21 sq m) the house gives an immediate sense of its comfortable modern style with painted beams, tiled floors and stone fireplace. To the right is the kitchen (21 sq m) with beamed ceiling, tiled floors, fitted kitchen units including many appliances as well as a traditional store cupboard. Off the kitchen there is a large cloakroom with WC and plumbing for a washing machine.

To the left of the dining room is the sitting room (31 sq m) with solid wood floors, beamed ceiling and open fire, and a glazed door leading out to the courtyard garden. To the left of the sitting room a door leads to the final room, an large office (17.5 sq m), which could be equally well suited to being a ground floor bedroom if required.

First floor

The stairs lead from the dining hall to the first floor landing off which there are three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom suite has attractive painted wooden floors and exposed rafters, and comprises a bedroom (15.5 sq m), a dressing room (14 sq m) and a very large shower room with WC (20 sq m) located to one end of the house. To the other end of the first floor there are the other two bedrooms (13 and 12.5 sq m) as well as a bathroom (5.5 sq m) with bath and vanity unit.

Independent cottage

The cottage has been created in a former outbuilding, and is now ready to rent. It comprises a large open plan living room with kitchenette (47 sq m), off which there are two bedrooms (18 and 10 sq m), a shower room and a separate WC. To the front of the cottage there is a small, walled terrace.

Exterior

There remains a great deal of outbuilding that as not yet been developed, including a former two storey cottage, a garage, and various smaller 'rooms'. The house, barn and space between have been used to create an attractive property with a low maintenance courtyard garden, lending itself well to being a second or holiday home. To one corner of the courtyard garden is an above-ground pool. The addition of a 650m² garden plot across the road would make an ideal vegetable garden and fruit orchard for those looking to live here on a more permanent basis.

The closest amenities to the property are a short cycle ride away (2.5km) whilst the market town of Rouillac is just a little further.
