Lovely old stone property set amidst 1/2 an acre of grounds with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. The house is located only 5 minutes from the sought after and picturesque fortified village of Vouvant where you will find a typical French bar, cafes and restaurants. There are small shops and galleries and plenty of art and music events throughout the year. 10 minutes away is the Renaissance town of Fontenay le Comte which again has an artistic scene with plenty to do and see. The house itself was a family home and well cared for until the passing of my parents. The work needed to restore it to its former glory has been reflected in the price. There is around 110m2 of habitable living space with a further adjoining ecurie (stable) that would make a fabulous conversion project if so desired. There is a large Farmhouse kitchen with range cooker and small conservatory, large hallway with utility room and ground floor bathroom with separate shower, large living room with woodburner, 2 steps lead down from the lounge to 2 small bedrooms that could be better served as one larger room. The wooden staircase leads up to a master bedroom and ensuite shower room. There are electric radiators to supplement the wood burner but no central heating system has been installed. Windows are mainly d/g and the existing septic tank will need upgrading to comply with recent regulations. Outside the property is approached by a private driveway and is surrounded by its own land which contains mature shrubs and trees but is largely open to maximise the views. There is a detached garage and lean to/wood.
