In a small hamlet a short walk away from the 12th century priory of Villesalem, this beautifully restored house was built around 200 years ago; around the time that the last nuns were leaving the aforesaid priory. This area really is steeped in history.
The towns of Le Blanc and Montmorillon with all their shopping, bars, restaurants and amenities are both about 20 minutes away, the smaller village of La Trimouille where you will find daily supplies including bread and cakes from its well known boulangerie is around 10 minutes drive.
Poitiers airport and train station are about one hour away, Limoges airport is just over one hour's drive.
The property itself rests within the centre of the hamlet, with its large private gardens mainly to the back of the property, leading to views over the fields and countryside beyond.
The current owners for the past 10 years have renovated part of the property; but it still has some scope for you to put you own mark on it.
The house benefits from mains electricity, water and drainage, it has partial double glazing. The electrics were redone in 2005 and the roof is in good condition. Heating is wood burners, with electric radiators for secondary heating, should they be needed. Broadband is available.
