Alison Appleyard, Independent Agent, says: | The tree lined driveway leads to the imposing front of this lovely farmhouse. Surrounded by well tended gardens containing a large barn with new roof, offering a wonderful project for renovation. The location is tranquil and not far from Bethines and St Germaine/St Savin. Good access to local airports and train stations. A lovely country family home or perfect for Bed and Breakfast.
On the ground floor the large entrance hall leads to a spacious lounge with plenty of light and a welcoming woodburning stove. There's a large dining room with parquet floor, leading to a well fitted kitchen. There's also a downstairs loo.
On the first floor there are two good sized bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms, plus a third, larger bedroom also with ensuite shower room and adjoining dressing room. The second floor provides three further bedrooms, all with the original ceiling beams exposed. There's a large bathroom, and a good sized store cupboard that could also be used as a study. The house has gas central heating.
Outside there's a large garage with water and electricity; and a lovely, large barn which was re-roofed three years ago. The barn is suitable for numerous projects - converting to another house, storage of classic cars, workshops, gîtes ......
The house faces south and is surrounded by well tended, spacious gardens with a lovely well. The current owners have been running a successful Bed and Breakfast business for a number of years.
This property is up and running and ready to go! | The surrounding area is very beautiful and tranquil, and only a few miles away from the small village of Bethines, where you'll find a shop, bakers, bar/restaurant, and Post Office; and the small town of St Savin with a wider range of shops, supermarket etc. In this area there's a wealth of things to do and to explore. St Savin has an Abbey which is registered with the World Inheritance of UNESCO because of its incredible riches and the exceptional state of its painted decorations. It's part of the Valley of Frescoes, a group of churches along the River Gartempe, all of historical significance. There's the famous Futuroscope theme park at Poitiers, 'Snakes' Island' near La Trimouille, Monkey Valley at Romagne, 'Giants of the Sky' at Chauvigny. There are many outdoors activities including kayaking, horse riding, flying & hang gliding lessons. There's a superb Spa treatment centre at Civaux. Lot's of 'arty' opportunities including Chinese calligraphy, bookbinding and writers' classes at Montmorillon - the Cité L'écrit.
Poitiers airport is less than an hours drive away; Limoges airport just over an hour. The TGV is available at Poitiers to take you to Paris in 90 minutes.
Apart from all that, you could just stay at home and enjoy the peace and quiet of typical French country life!
