This inviting four-bedroom stone house nestled in the quaint countryside of Ambrières-les-Vallées, in the Mayenne department of the Pays de la Loire region in France, stands as an appealing proposition for those looking to immerse themselves in the rustic charms of French village life. The property offers a serene retreat with a generous 134 square meters of living space, set within a plot of approximately 670 square meters.

As you enter through the private driveway, you’re greeted by a home that blends traditional architecture with the comforts of modern living. The ground floor features a substantial living room, abundant with character, showcasing exposed stone walls and a cozy wood burner that promises warmth during the cooler evenings. Adjacent to this, the dining room presents a perfect space for family meals or entertaining guests, while the kitchen is compact yet functional. Completing the ground floor is a convenient toilet.

Ascending to the first floor, three well-proportioned bedrooms offer tranquil views of the surrounding landscape, alongside a shower room with an integrated toilet. The second floor hosts an additional bedroom, which, while requiring some refreshing touches, presents an excellent opportunity to create a bespoke space tailored to your tastes.

A lush garden, adorned with mature shrubs and trees, wraps around the house, offering a private and peaceful outdoor area that includes a stone shed, ideal for storage or a workshop. The terrace area invites al fresco dining and relaxation, making it a delightful spot for enjoying the mild climate that characterizes this region.

The property’s heating is supplied through electric radiators complemented by the wood burner, ensuring comfort throughout the seasons. The house also benefits from PVC double glazing, enhancing thermal efficiency and comfort.

This house for sale in Fondettes sits on a 1,000 m² garden, a few minutes from Tours and the banks of the Loire. It is a 1970s home in good condition, with three bedrooms and two shower rooms spread over two levels. The address is what makes it work. You get a quiet residential street, shops, schools and public transport close by, and the city of Tours on your doorstep. Few places this near a Loire Valley city come with a garden of this size. ### A 3-Bedroom House in Fondettes, Touraine The main floor has about 86 m² of living space and is air-conditioned. The living room is roughly 25 m² and has an insert fireplace, so evenings in the cooler months are sorted. The kitchen is fitted. There are two bedrooms, a shower room with natural light and a separate WC. The lower level opens onto the garden and adds a lot of flexibility. It holds a third bedroom with its own shower room. Use it for guests, as a home office, or as a self-contained space for a family member or a teenager who wants some independence. There is also an enclosed veranda, designed to accommodate a platform lift. If you are thinking about long-term living, or buying for parents who may need easier access between levels, that detail matters and is hard to add later. ### The Garden, Cellar and Garage The plot is about 1,000 m², a generous size for a house this close to Tours. The garden level gives direct access outside, so the lower bedroom and the lawn work as one space in summer. Below the house you will find a cellar and a garage. The cellar suits wine, tools and seasonal storage, and the garage means you do not have to leave the car on the street. If you plan to use the house as a second home in France, storage like this makes locking up and leav ... click here to read more

This farmhouse for sale in Haute-Vienne, near Coussac-Bonneval, comes with 6.5 hectares in one block, including pasture with a natural spring. At €97,500 this is a small farm rather than a village house with a garden. You get a stone-built three-bedroom farmhouse from around 1950, a stone barn on three levels, a small brick outbuilding, a well and land on all sides of the buildings. The agent points out that 6.5 hectares in a single lot is rare, and it is the main reason to put this one on your viewing list. It needs work, and the numbers only make sense if you go in knowing that. ### The Farmhouse: 87 m² Over Two Floors and a Basement The house has 87 m² of living space. On the ground floor you come into an entrance hall, with the kitchen, the living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC around it. Upstairs there is a large landing, the third bedroom and an attic. The layout is simple and practical for a family, or for a couple who want a spare room for guests. Under the whole house runs a full basement, reached from outside at the back. Anyone who has owned a country property knows how fast storage fills up with firewood, tools and garden furniture. A basement with its own outside door helps with that. ### Barn, Outbuildings and 6.5 Hectares of Land The plot totals 65,537 m². About 5.7 hectares is pasture, and a natural spring rises on it. Roughly 7,400 m² is woodland, which the agent describes as a ready supply of firewood. Pasture with its own water source is useful if you have grazing animals, a few sheep or horses in mind. Check local rules and the land's current status before you plan anything specific. The stone barn has three levels, which gives you room for a workshop, storage or a longer-term ... click here to read more

A 133 m² house for sale in Ruelle-sur-Touvre, Charente, with five bedrooms, a garage and a private garden, close to Angoulême. Built in the 1970s and kept in good order, it stands on a quiet residential street where the shops, the schools and the local market are all within walking distance. The asking price is €180,900, which buys a lot of room in this part of France. ### A 1970s Family House on a Quiet Street This is a townhouse spread over two levels, and it has been looked after. Recent renovations, double glazing, electric shutters and air conditioning are already in place. What is left is cosmetic: fresh paint, perhaps new flooring, a kitchen finish chosen to suit you. You can move in first and decide on the details over the first winter. The garden surrounds the house and gives it real privacy. At 389 m² the plot is big enough for a table outside, a few vegetable beds or somewhere for children to play, yet small enough to keep tidy without giving up your weekends. ### Inside: Five Bedrooms Over Two Levels On the first level you come into an entrance hall, then the living-dining room. A bay window floods it with light, a French door opens on the garden side, and there is a fireplace for the colder months. The kitchen is separate, so cooking smells and dinner-party chaos stay out of the main room. A hallway leads to the sleeping area, set apart from the living space. It holds three bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC and one extra room that could become a dressing room. On the ground floor are two more bedrooms, recently fitted out, with their own shower room. That makes a natural spot for teenagers, a guest suite or a home office. This level also has a large garage with a PVC door, a laundry and boiler room ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Gers, at Saint-Aunix-Lengros, stands on 1.8 hectares with solar panels, its own well and a jacuzzi terrace. Everything is on one level, the energy label is A, and the land is big enough for horses, sheep or a serious vegetable garden. It is a practical country house more than a showpiece. The heating, hot water and electricity have all been updated in the last few years, so a buyer can move in and spend the first summer outside rather than on a building site. ### The House: 169 m² on One Level The living room measures 32 m² and has a fireplace with an insert, which is where you will spend most winter evenings. The kitchen is a separate room of the same size, and a door leads straight from it onto the rear terrace. Breakfast outside is easy to arrange. There are four bedrooms, at roughly 15.5 m², 15.5 m², 18.2 m² and 19 m². They are genuinely large, so children, guests or a home office will not feel squeezed. A single bathroom serves the house, which is worth knowing if you plan to host a full family. Some rooms need refreshing with paint and finishes, but the overall condition is good. A closed garage and workshop of 36 m² completes the house. The single-storey layout also makes it easy to live in at any age, with no stairs between kitchen, bedrooms and garden. ### Land, Terrace and Outbuildings The plot totals 17,796 m². Part of it is built up and the majority is agricultural land, which suits keeping animals. Neighbouring fields are also farmland, so nobody looks into the garden. Existing dependencies include a kennel, a carport and a chicken coop. The 54 m² terrace at the back holds a jacuzzi, and it is included in the sale.

This single-storey house for sale in Charente stands in Aussac-Vadalle, with three bedrooms, an office and a 1,500 m² plot. It was built in 2013, everything is on one level, and the condition is good, so there is no renovation list waiting for you. For buyers shopping for France real estate they can move into rather than rescue, that matters. The village is quiet, yet Mansle is about 10 minutes away, Champniers about 15, and the main roads are quick to reach. ### A Single-Storey House Built in 2013 The house has 106 m² of living space on a single floor. That suits families with small children, owners who want to avoid stairs, and anyone planning to stay for decades. The main room is a large, bright living room that opens onto a fitted kitchen, so the cook stays part of the conversation. There are three bedrooms, plus a separate office that can double as a fourth bedroom when guests arrive or the family grows. A shower room and a separate WC cover the bathroom side. A pantry and laundry room keeps the washing machine and the bulk shopping out of the kitchen, and the attached garage gives you covered parking or a workshop corner. Outside, the plot measures 1,500 m². That is room for a vegetable patch, a play area for the children, or a terrace you design yourself, and it is still a lawn you can mow in an afternoon. The seller describes the setting as sunny and calm. ### Living in Aussac-Vadalle and the Charente Countryside Aussac-Vadalle is a small rural commune in the Charente département, in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, which many buyers still know as Poitou-Charentes. Days here are quiet. Schools are close by and organised as an RPI, the system in which neighbouring villages share school sites, and everyday ame ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Côtes-d'Armor sits near Plémet and comes with four bedrooms, a stone-walled living room and a 1,039 m² enclosed garden. It is a renovated stone house with a new roof, a wood-burning stove and gas central heating. A two-storey garage and a former gîte add room to grow. Inland Brittany is quieter and far cheaper than the coast, and this house shows what that buys you: 123 m² of living space, a big plot and a village with its own lake. ### The House: 123 m² of Stone, Four Bedrooms You come in through an entrance hall that leads straight to the living room. The exposed stone walls are the first thing you notice, and the wood-burning stove is the second. On a wet Breton evening, which you will get, that corner is where everyone ends up. The kitchen/diner is large, big enough for a proper table and for cooking while others sit and talk. A downstairs cloakroom saves a trip upstairs. Gas central heating runs through the house, so it stays comfortable outside the summer months and is easy to leave ticking over if you only visit now and then. There are four bedrooms, which makes the layout easy for a family, for visiting friends, or for a home office alongside the guest rooms. There is one bathroom. If you have a larger group in mind, that is the one thing to weigh up. The house is in good condition, and the renovation included a new roof, usually the biggest single expense on an old stone building. ### Garden, Garage and the Former Gîte The garden is enclosed and covers about 1,039 m². That is enough for a vegetable patch, a lawn for children, and a table outside for long summer lunches. Because it is fenced, young children and dogs can play without constant supervision. The garage is on two floors. ... click here to read more

This stone house for sale in Dordogne sits at the foot of the château in Jumilhac-le-Grand, with a hidden courtyard and views over the L'Isle valley. Priced at €95,000, it is a village-centre house with 107 m² of living space, two bedrooms and an attic that is ready to be used. The shops are a short walk away, and the house is in good condition. For a buyer who wants a foothold in the Périgord Vert without a big renovation budget, it is an easy house to understand. ### From Hair Salon Back to Family Home The previous owner turned the house into a hairdressing salon. The sellers say it can easily be reverted to a home, and the layout supports that. The ground floor is one generous living room of 55 m², with a WC and handbasin. Behind it, a door opens onto the courtyard, so the room gets light and air from the back as well as the street. Upstairs are two bedrooms that both look out over the L'Isle river valley. Between them is a room currently used as an office, with an old fireplace still in place. The bathroom is not finished, but the plumbing is done and the shower, WC and washbasin are already on site. A tiler and a plumber's afternoon, not a building project. Above that is a 30 m² attic. It could stay as storage or be fitted out later as extra sleeping space, depending on what you want from the house. ### Practical Details: Windows, Drainage and Fibre All the windows are double-glazed. The house is on mains drainage, which removes a common worry with older French stone houses, and fibre internet is available in the village. That last point matters if you plan to work remotely for part of the year or simply want to stream a film on a wet October evening. The plot is small at 93 m², and that works in your favour ... click here to read more

This single-storey house for sale in Charente sits in Roullet-Saint-Estèphe, on a fully fenced 736 m² plot with open views and two terraces. It is listed as a four-bedroom home with 100 m² of living space, in good condition and ready to move into. The elevated position is what you notice first: the ground falls away in front, nothing blocks the view, and the garden feels more open than most village plots at this price. ### The House and Its Fenced Plot Everything is on one level, which makes daily life straightforward. You enter through a hallway into a bright living room, with an open-plan kitchen next to it. There is a shower room and a separate toilet. The sleeping accommodation is arranged around the hallway, and the listing counts four bedrooms in total. The layout described by the owner has three bedrooms plus a 21 m² pantry that can be fitted out however you need, as a fourth bedroom, an office, a playroom or a workshop. Any change of use is worth checking with the local mairie before you start. Outside, the plot is enclosed on the front, the rear and one side, so children and pets have a safe space from day one. A carport is attached to the side of the house. There are two terraces, and one of them faces the best of the view. That is the one for morning coffee and for long summer evenings when the light drops over the countryside. The house also has a balcony. The energy performance label is D, which is average for rural France and a sensible starting point if you later want to improve insulation or heating step by step. ### Everyday Life in Roullet-Saint-Estèphe Roullet-Saint-Estèphe is a quiet commuter village in the Angoulême area, a short drive from the city, in a part of the country where houses with r ... click here to read more

This four-bedroom house for sale in Morbihan stands on 3,201 m² of countryside near Lignol, with only one neighbour to the rear. It is a bourgeois-style home of 160 m² in good condition, built with a raised ground floor over a full basement. The price has recently been reduced for a quicker sale. Old stone, wooden parquet and a wood-burning stove sit alongside a modern kitchen, and the layout suits everyday living as well as long holidays. ### The House: Raised Ground Floor and Upstairs Bedrooms You enter through a large hall on the raised ground floor. To the left is the living and dining room, which is the best room in the house. It has original wooden parquet underfoot, an exposed stone wall and a wood-burning stove that will see you through a Breton winter evening. To the right is the fully equipped modern kitchen, a good fit if you like to cook rather than just reheat. Behind the kitchen is a laundry room with its own separate WC. There is also an opening that could easily be turned into a door, giving you indoor access to the garage behind. On a wet day, and Brittany has plenty of those, you will be glad of it. Upstairs, a landing leads to the first bedroom, which has a feature fireplace. Next come the bathroom, with both a bathtub and a shower, and a separate WC. Beyond that is the master bedroom. In total the house has four bedrooms and one bathroom, so if you plan to fill it with family or guests every summer, keep that ratio in mind. ### Basement, Garages and Attics The working side of the house is generous. A full basement runs beneath the living space, with a boiler room alongside it. At the back are two attached garages, enough for a car and a workshop, or two cars and the garden equipment that a plot ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Deux-Sèvres has 214 m², four bedrooms and 5,160 m² of grounds with outbuildings, in the village of Vanzay. It is a detached country house with exposed stone walls inside, a 98 m² garage, a traditional stone barn and enough lawn and mature trees that you will not hear the neighbours. The asking price is €150,000, agency fees included, which is a lot of space for the money in this part of western France. ### The House: 214 m² on Two Floors You come in through an entrance hall with built-in storage, which opens into the living room. This is the room that sets the tone: exposed stone walls, a wood-burning stove and fitted cupboards. Behind it sits a separate fitted kitchen with room for a dining table, so cooking does not have to compete with the sofa. The ground floor also holds an office of more than 30 m². That is bigger than many bedrooms, and it suits remote work, a studio, a workshop for hobbies or a games room. Two bedrooms, a shower room and a separate WC open off the hallway. An unheated conservatory looks onto the garden. It will not be a winter room, but it is a good place for coffee in spring and autumn. One room on this level is still to be finished. It has exposed beams and its own door to the outside, and it could become a second kitchen, a lounge or a principal bedroom suite. A separate utility room takes care of laundry and storage. Upstairs you find two more bedrooms, a second office and a dressing room. The listing is in good condition overall, so the unfinished room is the main project rather than a long list of repairs. ### Outbuildings and 5,160 m² of Land A gate opens onto a gravel driveway. Beyond it, the plot is mostly lawn broken up by mature trees. At just over half a ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Hautefort, Dordogne, offers eight bedrooms, a 70 m² reception room and a large barn on 3,890 m² for €259,000. The price has come down from €284,000 and the house is back on the market. It sits in Saint-Agnan, a village within the commune of Hautefort, close to everyday amenities. Few Dordogne properties at this price give you this much room to work with, whether you want a big family home, a second home in France or a guest-house project. ### The House: 309 m² with Eight Bedrooms The house is built in two parts. An older section keeps its original character, and a more recent part has been added alongside it. Together they give 309 m² of living space, eight bedrooms and two bathrooms. The condition is listed as good, so this is not a ruin waiting for a roof. The main reception room measures more than 70 m². That is the room where a large family gathers for a long Sunday lunch, or where guests would sit down together after a day out in the valley. With eight bedrooms and two bathrooms, anyone planning to host regularly will want to think about adding a bathroom. The layout gives you space to do that. ### Barn, Bread Oven and Garden Outside, there is a large barn with an open section, which gives you plenty of options for later development. A bread oven in perfect condition stands on the property, a feature most buyers only see in restoration projects. The agent also reports a well that never runs dry. The garden is planted with trees, and part of it is buildable. The data for this property lists a swimming pool and a waterfront setting, while the agent's text talks about the possibility of creating a pool. Please ask us to confirm both points before you plan a trip. The size and the barn als ... click here to read more

A house for sale in Haute-Vienne with a 2,489 m² plot, a 40 m² terrace and 77 m² of basement, in Chaillac-sur-Vienne. This is a 74 m² home with two bedrooms, set on a plot big enough to garden, park, tinker or simply keep a comfortable distance from the neighbours. It is in good condition, so the work ahead is about making it yours rather than making it habitable. For a buyer looking at the Limousin, it offers a lot of usable space for the money. ### The Living Space: Two Bedrooms and a Pellet Stove You come in through an entrance hall, which keeps muddy boots and coats away from the main rooms. That matters in a green, damp corner of France. From the hall you reach a fitted and equipped kitchen, so you can cook on the first evening without buying anything. Next to it is the bright living and dining room, where a pellet stove does the heating work on cold nights. The sleeping area has two bedrooms, a modern shower room and a separate WC. The layout is simple and easy to live in. It suits a couple, a small family, or a retired owner who wants guest space without a large house to maintain. Outside, the 40 m² terrace is the room you will use most from spring to autumn. Put a table out there, open the doors from the living room, and lunch becomes a long affair. ### The Basement and the 2,489 m² Plot As a semi-basement house, it has a whole extra level under the living space: 77 m² with a large garage, a storage room and a flexible area. The seller suggests a workshop, a playroom or more storage. A garage this size is rare in a house of this price. It gives you room for a car, a boat, bikes, garden machinery or a winter project. The plot measures 2,489 m² and is described as secluded. That is enough land for a vegetab ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Dordogne, near Mareuil en Périgord, comes with 1.9 hectares of fenced woodland, a 125 m² barn and a second house to renovate. It sits at the end of a quiet hamlet, so the only traffic you are likely to hear is your own. For a family after space, or a buyer who wants a rural base with room to grow a guest-accommodation project, the combination is hard to find at this price level. ### The House: Five Bedrooms and 186 m² The main house has 186 m² of living space and a layout that suits family life. Downstairs there is a large kitchen, a separate dining room and a living room. Upstairs you will find all five bedrooms and the bathroom, which keeps the sleeping floor self-contained. The condition is good, so you can move in and live here before deciding what, if anything, to change. Heating comes from a water-to-water heat pump that draws on a borehole on the plot. That is worth asking about at a viewing, as running costs and servicing history matter for a house this size. With five bedrooms and only one bathroom, some buyers will want to add a second one. The upstairs space should leave room for that, though you would need a local builder to confirm what is practical. ### Barn, Bread Oven and a Second House to Renovate The outbuildings are what set this house for sale in Dordogne apart from the usual village house with a garden. There is a 33 m² garage and an adjoining barn of roughly 125 m². A barn that size can be a workshop, a storage space for a classic car or a boat, or a covered space for family gatherings. Converting it to living space would need planning permission, so check the rules with the mairie before you plan anything. Then there is the bread oven. It measures 12 m², and the owners ... click here to read more

A 94 m² house for sale in La Rochefoucauld, Charente, with a garden and a supermarket within walking distance, priced at €129,200. This semi-detached home stands in Rivières, the part of the area that runs into La Rochefoucauld itself, and it makes sense on a modest budget. There are two bedrooms, a 373 m² plot and a layout that needs no explaining. It suits a first purchase in France, a straightforward rental project, or a low-maintenance base for long stays in Charente. ### The House: 94 m² on Two Floors The ground floor holds the everyday rooms. The kitchen is equipped and bright, so you can cook on the first evening instead of planning a fitting. Next to it is the living room, which has a chimney flue. That opens the door to a wood-burning stove, a welcome addition on a cold Charente evening. A shower room with WC completes the level, which is handy if stairs become a concern later on. Upstairs are two bedrooms. They work for a couple with a child, for a couple who want a spare room for visitors, or for two tenants sharing. The house is in good condition, so you are not buying a renovation project. As with any purchase, arrange your own survey and ask to see the heating and electrical set-up before you commit. Being semi-detached, the house shares one wall with its neighbour. That tends to help with heating costs and usually means a lower price than a detached home of the same size. ### The Garden and 373 m² Plot The garden gives you outdoor space without a weekend job attached. At 373 m² in total, it is big enough for a table and chairs in summer, a few raised vegetable beds or somewhere for children to play. It is small enough to keep tidy in an hour or two, which matters if you only come over for part of th ... click here to read more

This five-bedroom house for sale in Dordogne, in the village of Busserolles, gives you 176 m² of living space and a private garden. It was built in 1920 and is in good condition, so you can move in and decide later what to change. There is room for a family, for friends who come to stay, or for a bedroom you turn into a home office. The asking price is €107,000, which is a lot of space for the money in rural France. ### The House: 176 m² Over Two Levels The living area is spread over two floors. That usually means the day rooms sit together downstairs and the bedrooms are grouped above, which suits families and guests who like their own space. With five bedrooms, you can use one as a study, one as a hobby room and still have rooms to spare. The windows are double-glazed. In an older village house this matters, because it makes winter evenings more comfortable and keeps heating bills down. There is one bathroom. That is plenty for a couple or a small family, but if you plan to fill all five bedrooms at once, think about how you would add another. A house from 1920 has the proportions and character that new builds rarely copy. Come and see the rooms yourself, since the layout is where this property earns its value. ### Garden and Plot: 712 m² of Outdoor Space The plot measures 712 m² and includes a private garden. It is big enough for a table outside for long summer lunches, and small enough to look after without a tractor. If you are buying a second home in France and will be away for part of the year, a garden of this size is easy to keep tidy. If you live here full time, there is space to plant, sit out and entertain neighbors. ### Living in Busserolles and the Périgord Vert Busserolles is a quiet village in th ... click here to read more

This 3-bedroom house for sale in Javerlhac sits on about 6 hectares of land with no immediate neighbours, close to Nontron in the Périgord Vert. Three bedrooms, 103 m² of living space and 60,715 m² of land in total, for €144,700. That is a lot of room, and hardly any of it is shared with anyone. The house is in good condition, so you can move in first and decide what to change later. ### The House and Its 6 Hectares The house stands on its own, with no neighbours next door. Step outside in the morning and the only sounds are birds, wind in the trees and perhaps a tractor in the distance. For anyone tired of thin walls and shared driveways, that is the main attraction here. The land comes in two parts. Around 3 hectares adjoin the house, so you can see it and reach it on foot in a couple of minutes. A further 3 hectares lie separately, a short trip away. Together they give you a plot of just over 6 hectares, which is rare at this price in France. ### What You Can Do With the Land The adjoining hectares suit the things people usually dream about when they search for a country house with land in France: a few sheep or horses, a vegetable garden, an orchard of apple, plum and walnut trees, or simply a very large lawn that nobody else mows. The separate 3 hectares give you more freedom still. Depending on the soil and the planning rules, they could work as pasture, woodland, a hay meadow or a quiet corner for outdoor hobbies. Before you plan anything agricultural, check the land use and any access rights with a notaire. The surroundings are described as protected, so some restrictions may apply to new building. ### Living Near Javerlhac and Nontron The commune of Javerlhac-et-la-Chapelle-Saint-Robert lies in the gree ... click here to read more

It is attached to its neighbours on both sides, the way many village houses in the Périgord are built, and it is in good condition. The layout is easy to read: living space downstairs, bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, and a top level that works as a private retreat. Outside you have a garden on a 457 m² plot, plus a balcony. ### The House: Three Levels of Stone and Space You come in on the ground floor to a bright living room with a fitted kitchen. Behind it are a utility room and the adjoining 31 m² garage. That garage is useful in a rural area. Use it for the car, a workshop, or bikes and garden tools. On the first floor there are two bedrooms, a renovated shower room and a separate WC. The second floor is given over to an office space and a third bedroom, so the whole level feels apart from the rest of the house. If you work remotely, you can close the laptop and go downstairs for dinner. If this is a holiday home, it is the floor guests can have to themselves. ### Heating, Solar Panels and Everyday Comfort The equipment list is modern for a stone village house. There is an air-to-air heat pump, a thermodynamic water heater and solar panels. The windows are PVC double glazed, and the sliding shutters are solar-powered. That last detail helps when you lock up for a few weeks and want the house closed in one go. The seller describes the house as energy efficient. As with any purchase in France, ask to see the energy performance report and recent utility bills at the viewing so you can judge running costs yourself. ### The 457 m² Plot, Garden and Balcony T ... click here to read more

This house for sale in Dordogne sits in the centre of Piégut-Pluviers and gives you 141 m² of loft-style space plus a 427 m² enclosed garden. Most of that space is in two large rooms, one per floor, which is a different proposition from the cramped village terraces you often see at this price. It is a semi-detached house with one bedroom, a pellet stove, a kitchen overlooking the garden and a short walk to the shops and the weekly market. The asking price is 180,900 EUR. ### Inside the House and Garden The ground floor is built around a 53 m² open-plan living area with lounge and dining space. A pellet stove warms it in winter, and the house is described as well insulated, which counts for a lot between November and March. Behind the living area you find the kitchen, which looks out over the garden, plus a laundry room and a separate WC. Washing up with a view of grass instead of a wall is a small thing, but you notice it every day. Upstairs is the whole sleeping floor: a 55 m² suite with exceptional ceiling height, its own shower room and a separate WC. There is a balcony as well. It is one very large bedroom rather than several small ones, so the house suits a single buyer, a couple, or someone who wants a base that feels spacious without a lot of rooms to heat and furnish. If you need a second bedroom for guests, that would be a project of your own, because the upstairs is laid out as a single suite. At the back, the enclosed 427 m² plot gives you private outdoor space right in the village. A working well with a pump is included, which is handy for watering the garden. A small outbuilding, which the sellers liken to an old pigsty, is useful for tools, bikes and garden furniture. The condition of the property is go ... click here to read more
