Charming 3-Bedroom Stone Cottage in a Peaceful Hamlet

Property Description

Tucked away on a quiet village lane, this delightful three-bedroom stone cottage combines traditional charm with modern comfort and is just a 10 minute drive from the thriving market town of Melle with its supermarkets, bars and restaurants. The property is accessed via electric gates that open onto a gravelled courtyard, offering both privacy and a welcoming first impression. A covered veranda runs the full length of the house — the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the tranquil surroundings. From here, French doors open into a spacious 31m² farmhouse-style kitchen, full of character and warmth. The kitchen leads through to a bright dining room with sliding doors opening onto a 30m² terrace — ideal for outdoor entertaining and taking in the lovely views over the gardens. The dining area flows seamlessly into a cosy lounge complete with a wood-burning stove, and from here, a door opens into a useful study or occasional fourth bedroom. To the rear of the kitchen, a short corridor leads to a family bathroom, a separate WC, a utility/boiler room, and a practical store room. Upstairs, the landing gives access to three comfortable bedrooms and an additional WC. The property has been well maintained throughout and benefits from oil central heating, double glazing, and good insulation, resulting in an excellent D-rated DPE energy score. Beneath the terrace is a cellar/workshop with power and lighting — perfect for hobbies or storage — along with a garage and a former dog kennel, now used as a handy garden store. The gently sloping gardens extend from the property and are laid mainly to lawn, offering space to enjoy the peaceful rural setting, This is a truly charming and well-cared-for home, ideal as a full-time residence or a holiday retreat in the heart of the French countryside.
