Description
An imposing yet attractive very well proportioned and spacious south facing french property situated on the edge of a charming village in the far south of Deux-Sevres, bordering the Charente Maritime and Charente within 5 kms, in the Poitou-Charentes region of France, the second most sunniest region after the South of France.
This double-fronted french property with shuttered windows is approached through a metal gate flanked either side by striking pillars leads into an enclosed front garden and along a concrete path.
To the side, off the front garden, is a gate which leads into a large enclosed gravelled parking area, which can be entered from the road via double metal gates, again flanked each side by the same design of striking pillars as the front garden entrance. Adjacent to the parking area and one side of the french property is a two storey cottage. Simple renovation could turn this into two bedroom, one bathroom accommodation/gite.
To the rear of the parking area are double metal gates which lead to a west facing gravelled patio area on the right that runs the length of the rear of the french property and ends in a 2 metre rendered wall on the east side. The patio area can also be reached from the french windows in the dining room. On the left steps take you up and through a rock garden and into the main area of rear garden, which is laid to lawn and interspersed with tress and shrubs and is fenced off in the ratio one third to two thirds. The west boundary of the rear garden is lined with tall fir trees, the end, north boundary is lined with tall evergreen shrubs, whilst the east boundary is lined with a wire fence, fruit trees and small fir trees with lovely views over the fields and countryside.
Continuing along the front garden path to the front of the french property it leads toward a half stone rendered glass and metal porch.
This leads on through an art deco wood and glass front door into a large hallway, laid with original art deco geometric tiles on the floor.
The symmetrical layout of living room, study, dining room, kitchen and utility room all lead off the hallway. Midway in the hallway a wooden staircase leads up to the first floor mezzanine, where there is a master bedroom, a further two bedrooms and family bathroom.
This french property benefits from mains electricity and water, oil fired central heating and wood burning stove. Hot water is served in the kitchen by electric water heater and a further separate larger water heater serves the rest of the house. All rooms are spacious, well lit with natural light from the large windows and have high beamed ceilings.
