Property Description

Our ref- AI4564
This lovely property is situated at the edge of a village and offers views over the surrounding countryside. The house benefits from gardens and land to all sides and the total plot size is 12463m2 (just over 3 acres). There is so much potential here for those seeking a large family home, a more self-sufficient lifestyle, a permaculture project or a smallholding
The impressive house currently proposes 7 bedrooms across two floors with additional potential in the open plan former attic space, which is ready to go, with a gorgeous reclaimed wooden floor and made to measure hardwood double glazing. The layout of the downstairs could lend itself to the creation of a separate apartment/gîte/ B&B suite
The property's ecological credentials include a wood fired central heating system and solar hot water
The possibilities continue in the outbuildings as there is an attached stone barn with a workshop area, a garage, a hangar, a former piggery and other outbuildings
Outside, the planting includes mulberry, crab apple, rowan, walnut, peach, cherry, quince, fig, medlar, goji berries, vines and more. A coppice woodland area has been planted with a 7-year rotation in mind. There is also a former chicken house, vegetable garden and wild zones. For children, there is a tree platform and a play area situated close to the house and lots of space to run around
All day to day amenities may be found in Chef Boutonne (8.5km) including bars, restaurants, shops and leisure facilities such as a château, an outdoor swimming pool and a cinema. The international airport of Poitiers is just 67km away
This property really must be seen to appreciate the possibilities
