Description
Welcome to the serene village of Caunay in the heart of Deux-Sèvres, nestled within the historic and picturesque region of Poitou-Charentes. This delightful stone cottage is waiting to be discovered, offering a slice of rural French life just waiting for you to savor. As a busy agent of a global real estate network, I am excited to present this residence, particularly to our international clientele, who are seeking a tranquil retreat amidst the charming French countryside.
Caunay is a quaint hamlet, where time seems to slow down, making it an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. The village provides a wonderfully quiet and rural atmosphere, yet it enjoys good connectivity to nearby amenities. It's strategically positioned between the lively market towns of Lezay and Sauzé-Vaussais, each just a ten-minute drive away. These towns offer weekly markets bustling with local produce, a selection of cafes, and essential services for a convenient lifestyle.
This exquisite 1-bedroom stone cottage is perfect for those looking to downsize or secure a weekend getaway without the responsibility of extensive maintenance. With a manageable 90 square meters of living space, the property is a cozy retreat, retaining much of its authentic French character while boasting updates for modern comforts. The recently completed renovations have preserved features like the traditional wooden beams and partially exposed stone walls, adding to the property's distinct appeal.
The ground floor welcomes you with an entrance hall, leading to various functional spaces. There's a convenient W.C, a utility and laundry room that makes chores a breeze, and a large open-plan living area. The latter is expansive, beautifully incorporating a fitted kitchen. The kitchen island doubles as a breakfast bar, offering a versatile space for meal prep or casual dining. Additionally, there's a cozy room currently serving as an office, ideal for remote work or hobbies.
Upstairs, you’ll be welcomed by a spacious landing area. This leads to the master bedroom suite, which comes complete with an en-suite shower room equipped with modern conveniences. The dedicated dressing room ensures ample storage space for all your needs. The cottage benefits from modern upgrades as well. The double-glazing throughout adds to the energy efficiency of the home, and the newly installed septic tank and energy-efficient gas combi-boiler form part of its excellent energy rating of "C", a valued aspect for today's eco-conscious buyers.
Outside, the property continues to delight with its gravelled courtyard—perfect for a sunny afternoon with a good book or hosting friends for a barbecue. The side garden is a small, easily manageable, and fully enclosed patch of lawn that includes a practical wooden shed for storage and retains the characterful original bread oven. Across the quaint hamlet lane is additional outdoor space comprising a larger, unfenced plot, allowing for greater flexibility and potential for the green-thumbed amongst you.
For those considering a move to rural France, living in Caunay offers a genuine taste of country life accompanied by the slower pace and beautiful landscapes typically associated with this region. The climate reflects classic French seasons—a mild winter, a blooming spring, and long, hot summers ideal for spending lazy days exploring the outdoor charms. Residents often enjoy leisurely walks, cycling through the scenic trails, or simply basking in the sun with a local vineyard's fine bottle of wine. Local community events often provide a chance to mix with the friendly community and embrace the authentic French lifestyle and culture.
For those yearning for tranquility with a touch of adventure, living in this cottage offers the best of both worlds. With its peaceful setting yet convenient reach to vibrant towns, it presents a unique opportunity for expats and overseas buyers who wish to establish a home in France. This well-priced home at €86,900 (including buyer commission and taxes) offers not only a place to live but a lifestyle to cherish. If you’re interested in exploring further, feel free to reach out—I am ready to assist as you discover your dream retreat in this beautiful region of France.
