7 Bedroom Village House For Sale

This beautifully renovated, very spacious 7 bedroom, 4 bathroom village house is a perfect letting proposition or home-and-income or B&B property. It has a well-equipped gîte, a lovely pool and attractive grounds of one acre. The property has a successful rental track record and the potential to sleep up to10-12 guests.




The main house contains 4 comfortable bedrooms with an en suite bathroom off the master bedroom and a second, family bathroom. In 2011, 2 further double bedrooms and a third bathroom were added. These are located in the garden suite, with its own spiral staircase to the garden, but also accessed from the master bedroom. The suite thus has the versatility to be used either for small children or for guests who are able to come and go independently.




The kitchen is very large and fully equipped. It has working fireplace which comes into its own in winter and especially around Christmas and New Year. The very spacious sitting room (also 36m2) is comfortable and has plenty of character thanks to its original oak beams.




The gîte is, effectively, a self-contained ground floor flat. With its entrance just off the garden, it is comfortable and well-equipped with a double bedroom, a kitchenette and a modern wet room.




The local commune is considering the introduction of mains drainage to the road in the next 5 years or so and, with that in mind, there is already a pipe installed for easy connection to the mains.




The house sits on a plot of approximately 1 acre. The garden is large and private, with a number of mature trees. It has a really lovely pool and a barbecue. A terrace overlooks the garden, the perfect spot for al fresco meals. The garden is also very secure with a gated driveway. In the garden are two barns, the larger one being bigger than the house and may have potential for the creation of another dwelling, subject to Planning approval. Wine buffs will be interested to know that it still has inside a wine press and a cellar.




The property is located in the Poitou-Charentes region, in the heart of a village with shops and restaurant and so there are amenities on the doorstep. The village is tranquil but the historic market town of Airvault and the picturesque riverside villages of Saint-Généroux and Saint-Loup-Lamairé are nearby and offer a range of shops, supermarkets and other attractions.
