Description:

A lovely character property, perhaps dating back to the C17th in parts, nestling in wooded and valleyed countryside little more than 5 minutes from the popular market town of Melle.

You enter the property into a small hallway with stone steps. The main reception room is a very spacious 6 x 5 with a full height ceiling, and mezzanine floor space above part. With several windows the room is light and has a corner fireplace with an insert wood-burner. The kitchen measuring 5 x 3.25 with a range of fitted units, has a small store room adjoining. A 2nd reception room measures 5 x 4.5 with a fireplace and character features in stone. Ground floor bedroom 5.3 x 4.25 with an old fireplace. Also on the ground floor is a shower room with WC and hand basin. (All of the ground floor has gas fired central heating radiators).

On the 1st floor is a mezzanine floor 5 x3 on a wooden parquet floor, a large bathroom 4 x 3 with a full suite. A landing and corridor lead to 2 further bedrooms measuring 4.6 x 3.9 and 5.15 x 4. These rooms do not currently have radiators, but the pipe work is available at 1st floor level.

There is a large garage / workshop with a separate store room. There is a large covered terrace to the front of the property, a bread oven feature and a nice sitting area in the rear garden. The gardens include a small pond and an old stone lavoir feature, plus a good sized vegetable plot. The gas heating boiler is 2 years old, and the grounds extend to a total of 15,200m².

Poitiers is the nearest airport, with the coast at La Rochelle approximately an hour away. More photos available
