Pretty village house with character, situated up a quiet lane
Neat one bedroomed village house, with bar, restaurant and shop within easy walking distance.
Fantastic opportunity to have a little hideaway in France without the worry of maintaining a garden when you're away.
On entering the house, walk into a large sitting room, with a large fireplace and access to the house cellar. A superb doorway leads to the kitchen area.
A further hand made door, opens into the stairway, where beautifully crafted stairs spiral up to the landing.
Here a large double bedroom (6.77x371m), with views of the Church and village centre, light up the room.
The bathroom, with shower, wc and sink measures 3.5m x 2.20m.
The staircase carries on up to the large loft area, which offers the possibilty of a further a further bedroom.
If further living space and outside space is needed, there is the possibility of purchasing next door (ref: 16135NT86) and knocking through to join the properties together.
This property is a short drive away from the historical market town of Charroux and is conveniently situated for easy access to Poitiers (around 40 minutes) with its airport, train station and retail outlets. Limoges airport only about a 1 ½ hour drive and Futuroscope only about 50 minutes away.

Location in France
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.
