House
The front door opens into a very large farmhouse kitchen (40m2) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls, exposed beam ceiling, a large fireplace with wood-burning stove and a range of fitted kitchen units. This room is easily large enough for a good-size dining table as well as a few armchairs, making the real hub of the home. To one side of the kitchen is the laundry / pantry.
From the kitchen a doorway leads through to the living room (45m2) with wooden and tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, fireplace and a door to the front garden. Again, this spacious room is easily large enough to have defined sitting and dining areas.
From the living room a part-glazed door opens to an internal hall, off which is a full bathroom (bath, shower, wash-basin and WC).
First floor
A wooden staircase rises from the hall to the first floor landing which runs the width of the house. Off the landing are four bedrooms (23m2, 21m2, 17m2 and 12m2) each with exposed stone feature walls and exposed beam ceilings. To the far end of the landing is a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC).
Guest house
Attached to the house and accessed either from the garden or via a door from the internal hall is an attractive guest cottage. On the ground floor there is a spacious living room (34m2) with exposed stone wall, exposed beam ceiling, wood-burning stove and a part-glazed door to the garden. To the back of the living room a doorway opens to the kitchen / dining room (26m2) with exposed stone walls, exposed beam ceiling, a door opening back in the main house and a door to the back garden. Upstairs there is a large bedroom (31m2) with exposed stone wall and a wash-room with WC and basin.
Exterior
The house sits on a prettily landscaped plot of 1687m2. To the front of the house is a terrace, some lawn, a raised terrace and a barbeque area. From here the garden leads to more lawn with the swimming pool and a small pond. The garden the wraps around the back of the house with more lawn, a number of useful outbuildings and a large covered parking area large enough for a camper van or caravan.
This is an attractive house in a great location. The little town of Sauze-Vaussais is just a short drive and the airport at Poitiers less than an hour away.
