If you're looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and embrace the serene French countryside, this gem could very well be the perfect match for you.
As a bussy real estate agent, I can tell you that this property is ideally situated in a small hamlet tucked between the lovely market towns of Sauzé-Vaussais and Chef Boutonne. The house itself, with its undeniable character, proudly spans a generous 113m2 of living space. The southwest-facing home captures the French sun beautifully throughout the day, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere perfect for those lazy, sun-dripped afternoons.
The house is in generally good condition, though it lends itself to being an exciting project for those with a flair for modernisation. Now, let's take a stroll through the property, shall we?
On entering, you're gently guided into a spacious 30m2 living room. It's as if the room has stories to share, with its flagstone tiled floor and the ambiance created by walls of exposed stone highlighted by a beamed ceiling. The focal point surely must be the charentaise stone fireplace fitted with a roaring wood-burning fire that awaits cozy winter evenings. Alongside, there's a 23m2 lounge offering more space to unwind, featuring some exposed stone and a former fireplace that beckons potential. French doors open to the front, allowing natural light to pour in and brightening your days. The ground floor is complete with a functional shower room and WC.
Moving upstairs, the first floor unfolds brilliantly with a 32m2 large bedroom showcasing quaint charm with its three small windows and wooden flooring. To accompany, there's a second 14m2 bedroom alongside an additional 9m2 room. If creativity flows within you, there's an opportunity to rearrange this floor to create two to three bedrooms, along with a bathroom suited to your preferences.
Step outside and you're greeted by a 20m2 covered terrace that gazes over an enclosed garden and stretching fields. The ambiance is peaceful, making this spot ideal for outdoor dining or lazy afternoons spent with a good book.
Adjacent to the main house, there's an old stone cottage awaiting renovation—the possibilities here are virtually endless, just waiting for your personal touch to bring it to life. Despite needing work, the roof remains in fine condition, and the charm of the exposed stone truly speaks volumes.
