To the left of the hall a glazed door opens to the kitchen / dining room (29m2) with tiled floor, wood-burning stove and exposed stone walls. To the back of the room is a modern fitted kitchen area. To the right of the entrance hall a glazed door opens to the sitting room (27m2) with exposed stone feature wall, exposed beam ceiling, wood-burning stove and a pair of glazed doors that open to the terrace running across the front of the house.

First floor:

A wooden staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor landing, off which are three double bedrooms (22m2, 15m2 and 14m2), the largest of which has an ensuite shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC). Also off the landing is a bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC).

Exterior:

The house sits on a plot of 573m2. The walled garden lies to the front of the house and is laid to gravel for ease of maintenance as a holiday home. To one side of the garden is an open-sided barn which, in addition to providing covered parking, makes a great outdoor entertaining space. To one end of the barn is a small utility / boiler room. Attached to the other end of the barn is a pretty pigeonnier which makes a great wood or bin store as well as adding character.

This is a beautifully presented and renovated house in that sought-after edge-of-village setting within walking distance of the heart of the village with its shop and restaurants. Large enough for use as a permanent residence it would also make and ideal lock-up-and-leave holiday home.

About Poitou-Charentes

The start of South Western France, Poitou-Charentes enjoys both a wonderful coastline, varied countryside, pretty villages and interesting towns. The climate of the region is one of the mildest in France, and the coastal area in Charente-Maritime is the sunniest part of France after the Mediterranean coastal areas. Poitou-Charente now forms part of the large new region known as Nouvelle Aquitaine.

Charente-Maritime is the most westerly department of the region and offers wonderful stretches of coastline, with long sandy beaches and fishing ports. La Rochelle is a vibrant port resort and has lots of top quality shops and lovely restaurants.

Not surprisingly it's more expensive to buy property in Charente-Maritime than in other parts of the department but if you can afford it, it is a wonderful part of France.

The area offers a more rural lifestyle than its neighbour. The countryside is undulating, scattered with pasture land, sunflowers and offers wide panoramas. Cognac is probably the best known town in Charente, sitting astride the river Charente it is a really interesting place to visit, to enjoy the distilleries, the river and the wonderful restaurants.

The river Vienne, along which there are lovely beaches, flows through the department and adds charm to many of the pretty villages along its banks. Poitiers with its theme park of Futuroscope, is the best known town in Vienne and a
