Poitiers (86) - For Sale: Stunning 8..

An oasis of calm just a short walk from the city centre.

Occupying a large plot in a peaceful area of the city close to the river, sits this architect designed house that was originally built in 1970. Offering a total of 8 bedrooms, this is a fine family home, however the layout also means that offering chambres d'hote with two or three letting rooms is a real possibility.

The property sits behind a high wall and large wooden gates which offer complete privacy from the street. A long driveway through the gardens leads up to the house which sits at the rear of the plot, at the foot of a cliff.

A spacious and well-lit Entrance Hall with a stone floor greets visitors as they enter the property. Off the entrance hall are 3 Bedrooms (one of which is currently utilised as a Study) and a Bathroom. This is the area that the current owners have used to offer chambres d'hotes, using the Entrance Hall to serve breakfast to their guests. To the rear is a Games Room and the original studio used by the architect.

Stone stairs lead up to the first floor which is where the main family living area is located. There is a Dining Room opening out onto a sunny balcony, a Lounge, Kitchen with walk-in larder, Breakfast Room and W.C.

On the second floor are 5 further Bedrooms, a Bathroom with bath and shower cubicle and a separate Shower Room.

There is a large basement area providing plenty of storage space along with a workshop. This is where the boiler is located for the central heating system that is run off the mains gas supply. An unusual feature accessed from the basement is a glass house that was originally designed to contain the owner's collection of cacti, many of which still remain! It also provides a great space for the keen gardener to grow plants and protect them in the colder months.

In the grounds are various patio spaces and a deck, a water feature, a well and a garage. At the rear of the house, steep stone steps have been carved into the cliff allowing access to the roof and then on to the top of the cliffs where there is an area of woodland belonging to the property. From here, the views over the city are quite magnificent.

It is just 10 minutes walk into the city centre and the railway station whilst the airport is just 10 minutes drive.
