Pretty 4 Bed Detached Farmhouse, Moncoutant, Deux-Sevres

Property Description

There is some renovation work that the new owner would probably want to consider undertaking.  Most notably would be insulating the walls and the loft which would improve the current DPE rating and make the house a little more cosy in the winter months.  There may also be the opportunity to increase the living space by converting the cellar area (subject to planning permission). 

Outside:

The mature gardens that surround the house provide lovely sunny and shady spots to sit and enjoy the views.  The east facing terrace is the perfect place to enjoy coffee and croissants on a sunny morning.   
The meadow beyond the garden is a lovely area for wildlife but could be a project for any green-fingered enthusiasts or keen veg-growers.  There are also some very attractive stone outbuildings for storage.

Location:

The house is in a lovely quiet area, about a 10minute drive from the local shops in Moncoutant.  Moncoutant is an attractive small town with a large central square, a good selection of restaurants and cafés in the town as well as a large supermarket and other useful amenities.

The friendly market towns of Bressuire, La Châtaigneraie, Pouzauges and Fontenay-le-Comte are all nearby and great for exploring.  You can alternate your visits depending on when the market is in town to ensure a steady supply of locally sourced fresh produce and the coast is just 90mins away, ideal for a day trip for some sea-air.
