Set in a beautiful walled area with countryside outside all four walls, you'd never believe you were 500 metres from the centre of the lively little market town of Chef-Boutonne. This former hunting lodge (or treasury if local legend is correct) provides a character two-bedroomed home for its owners and plenty of space for horses, other animals or even market gardening!
The house, with original features everywhere including exposed beams and stone has been fully renovated, including excellent levels of insulation and double glazed windows, consists of: sitting room of 24 m2 with original stone fireplace and dual aspect over the property itself to one side and farmland to the other, superb spiral staircase to the main bedroom of 22 m2 with open-plan retro-look bathroom incorporated, two large windows and two original built-in wall cupboards.
Back downstairs, the WC is between the living room and the kitchen. The kitchen itself (24.5 m2) features built-in pine units and two huge windows giving views over the property and the countryside and access to the lovely 28 m2 patio - room to extend in this direction if necessary. There's also a small utility room and stairs to the second bedroom, also 22 m2.

Heating is by built-in woodburner in the sitting room with a system of blown air which reaches the whole house. The theme of self-sufficiency is enhanced by the water supply coming from of 30 metre deep artesian well and the owner's former project, entirely feasible, of providing electricity to the property from a small wind generator. For the moment, mains electricity does the job!
Under the property, accessed by stone steps, is an impressive cellar.

In one corner of the walled land in front of the property is a stable and there's a separate paddock adjoining the walled part. Planning permission for an agricultural building would be granted for the paddock and it may eventually be possible to use this for construction of a separate dwelling. Fruit trees and other mature trees and shrubs are dotted around the land and the views are beautiful.

Viewing of this very unusual property is highly recommended.
