Toby and Didi Hawkins Independent Agent, says :
Large rooms, a really spacious attached garden and all within walking distance of the village shops.
Hidden from the road behind a high wall, this garden is a real haven. The house has 2 bedrooms and scope to convert the upper floor to make many more.
Mains drains, broadband internet, this house is super value.
The huge sitting room with a flag-stone floor is the heart of the house. It has an open fireplace and cupboards built into the thick stone wall. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and a spacious sitting area.
This leads through to the kitchen, which has a door out into the garden and is simply kitted out yet has all the basics.
There are 2 bedrooms, both on the ground floor, both good sizes and bright rooms.
The shower room has a shower, basin and space for the washing machine and a separate loo.
But just imagine if you put in a staircase to create further rooms upstairs, approx 12m x 5m, where there is plenty of height. The house is perfectly habitable as it is, but scope for huge improvement. The roof is in need of some attention.
The village of Bouresse has a bakery, village shop, hairdresser, school and the best DIY shop for miles around. For supermarkets, Lussac les Chateaux is about 15 minutes away.
40 minutes from Poitiers airport, TGV railway station (90 minutes to Paris) and Futuroscope; an hour from Angoulême airport and 90 minutes from Limoges airport.

The Vienne was formed in 1790 from parts of the historical regions of Poitou, Berry and Touraine. The department tends to slope downwards from the north to the south with the highest point reaching 764 ft and the lowest point being 115ft at the confluence of the River Creuse and the River Charente. The department gets its name from the River Vienne, which flows straight down the centre.
Poitiers is the departmental and regional capital and boasts France's oldest Christian building, the Saint Jean baptistery, constructed back in the fourth century. The town has some fine examples of Romanesque architecture, is a pleasant small city, and visitors will find a relaxed atmosphere, especially compared to Paris. IT is home to around 90,000 people including many students thanks to the popular university. Poitiers is also a good base to visit nearby towns and cities. A lot of retirees move to the city and its' environs, attracted by its warm climate (snow is rare).
North of Poitiers is Futuroscope, France's scientific theme park, created by the Vienne departmental council. Further north still is Chatellerault, a charming town with tree-lined avenues and the imposing Henry IV bridge, built some four centuries ago which crosses the River Vienne.
Montmorillon is a small town with only 7,500 inhabitants, and book publishing is the town's speciality and a book fair is held here every June. The nearby Vienne River offers kayaking and fishing amongst many other activities. Away from the river, the gentle countryside provides an ideal location for horse riding and walking.
Ryanair flies direct to both Limoges and Poitiers. If you'd rather go by land then take France's super fast TGV train service, which stops off in Poitiers. To get there by car, take the A10 from Paris.
