Charming country property comprising two houses in a large garden with outbuildings on the Loire/Vienne border
This delightful property will charm you from the moment you pass through the electric gates into the spacious and beautifully planted central courtyard. The main house oozes character through its exposed stone, tommette floors, original beams and large fireplaces, and has extraordinarily high ceilings for a longère. Should you wish to add extra bedrooms by expanding up into the attic space, this also offers generous headroom so no ducking under beams here!
The second house is also on one level, though accessed from the outside of the courtyard, up a series of broad stepped terraces from its own hedged area of garden, making it perfect for use as a gîte or for family to stay close by without being on top of one another.
The large garden allows you to find sun or shade somewhere at pretty much any time of day.
For tourists, the châteaux of the Loire, Futuroscope, Poitiers airport (& Tours), and the TGV at Châtellerault, are all easily accessible - ferry ports are 4-6 hours away.
Entering the property, you find yourself in a beautiful courtyard with curved driveway, lawn and established trees and shrubs,including a glorious mulberry as well as a fig tree. Various buildings border this courtyard and there is an additional huge garden beyond, making almost a hectare in total.
To the right is the main house, currently offering approximately 170m² of living space, featuring exposed stone, both inside and out. Exposed beams and huge stone fireplaces, along with traditional tomette flooring, lends to the classically chic French look. The large, high-ceilinged rooms, perhaps due to all of the natural materials, wood-burning stoves and tasteful decor, manage to retain a cosy feeling in spite of their size. This house is built in the typical longère style, meaning that on either side of the welcoming entrance hall, the rooms lead onto one another - to the left, a 40m² living room and then a bedroom, to the right, the 40m² dining room, then kitchen, then utility. Behind the entrance hall is a bathroom with walk-in shower, washbasin and WC. The house is currently arranged as a beautiful and spacious single-storey dwelling but there is in fact the potential to develop a whole extra level upstairs, effectively doubling your living space and adding bedrooms for as many as necessary.
Opposite the main entrance to the courtyard is another building, containing various storage spaces and an enormous garage at ground level, from which ancient stone steps descend deep underground to the most stunning cave, believed to have once been part of an extended local network. Above is the gîte (130m²), featuring 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an open plan kitchen / diner / sitting room and a utility room. The gîte is accessed from the far side of this building, where the garden has been hedged off to create a private space for guests. Although the style here is more modern, we still see the exposed beams and, yet again, everything has clearly been very thoughtfully renovated and well cared for.
A gatehouse and a couple of other small outbuildings complete the ensemble and the large garden surrounded by fields enjoys stunning and far-reaching views. This could be the perfect place to run a holiday business or for extended family to stay close together but separately.
