Inimitable, Character Home surrounded..

Set in a small hamlet, and not overlooked by any of the neighbours, but within a 3 minute drive of a small village with General Store and restaurants. This is an ideal get away from it all with the option of a sociable night out.

The house itself was originally the rather extravagant whim of the maison de maitre also in the hamlet; they built it to house their hunting dogs! For the past 17 years it has been the passion of one French couple and the place where they have brought into the world their 4 children, it is now time to move on. Their transformation of this canine dwelling into a home has been a labour of love; with every room having original features and quirky style features. The house is surrounded by 2.5 acres of gardens and woodland, which include a paddock and orchard..... Quite simply a gem.

The village of Moulismes is 2kms away; the town of Montmorillon and Lussac Les Chateau are both around a 10 minutes drive. Poitiers & Limoges Airports are both approximately an hour away.

The house benefits from mains electricity, water and double glazing. The electrics were redone in 1998 and the roof is in good condition. Gas fired central heating and a wood burning fire in the main Lounge/Living room. Drainage is to a septic tank.

Broadband is available.
