Toby and Didi Hawkins Independent Agent, says :

Three bedroom hamlet house full of potential

This is a surprisingly large house in a friendly hamlet just outside the village of Bouresse. Although the house is habitable, it is in need of some TLC and better use could be made of the existing accommodation with a bit of a revamp and a bit of love, hence the price.

The front door leads off the lane, straight into a huge room which goes all the way from the front to the back of the house and measures about 80m². This is currently used as dining room, sitting room, office and general living room. The kitchen is off the main room at one end and overlooks the terrace and garden.

There are two further rooms on the ground floor, as well as a little larder, which are currently used as storerooms and a workshop but could easily be incorporated into the living space; one has a beautiful Poitevine chimney piece and would make an excellent cosy sitting room and the other has the stairs but is a useful almost square space (29m²). Come armed with ideas.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, with some slightly limited headroom, but this shouldn’t worry anyone except the very tall. There is a bathroom with a bath and basin and a separate loo with its own basin.

From the kitchen and from the living room there are double french doors that lead out on to a terrace with steps up to the garden; the terrace is a real sun-trap and is lovely for sitting out to eat breakfast or in the evenings.

The garden overlooks open countryside and goes back about 55m with an area of 485m², so plenty of space to run around and grow vegetables, without being too much work.

The village has a little general store, bar/restaurant, baker, butcher, hairdresser and post office. There is also an excellent and renowned builder’s merchant in the village which draws people from miles around.

This lovely area with plenty of gorgeous walks is near the river Vienne and is easily accessible by air, train or car. Poitiers airport is about 45 minutes drive, Limoges airport is just over an hour away and both have TGV/Eurostar and there is a railway station at Lussac-les-Chateaux, 15 minutes drive away. It is about 4 hours drive from the Western channel ports (Caen, Le Havre, St Malo)so an ideal location for a holiday home or permanent home if you want visitors.

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.
