7 Bedroom Gite For Sale

This 7-bed village property is gloriously situated on the banks of the river Benaize in the pretty village of La Trimouille. The property consists of 5-bed main house and a 2-bed gite. Both properties have been beautifully renovated an are in immaculate condition. The gite has an excellent letting track record. 




The property has been fully renovated by the current owners and manages to strike the perfect balance between the traditional and the contemporary. There are some beautiful features such as original marble fireplaces and doors and staircase that are thought to date back to 1850. 




The house has been re-wired, re-plumbed, has a new roof, new central heating system, double-glazing and new external windows. Unusually, the house also benefits from mains drainage and mains gas. There is a large garage
