Beautifully renovated 4/5 bedroom Maison Bourgoise in L'Isle Jourdain with possibility of antiques business

This is a very impressive house with spacious rooms on two levels plus an immense and beautiful attic and numerous outbuildings if you want to expand further. All the rooms are well proportioned, and flow nicely as this house was built on the principles of the golden mean (symmetry, proportion and harmony). There is a surprisingly large garden for a town centre house, which is also very private as it is not overlooked.

The current owners run a successful antique shop in the dining room which, if you are looking for an income, you could continue.

L'Isle Jourdain is a characterful and vibrant riverside town with all amenities, plenty of thriving cafés and restaurants, doctors, pharmacies, schools, a glorious swimming pool and a water sports centre and less than 1 hour from airports at Limoges and Poitiers flying low cost flights to Britain.

This 250 year old house is just off the main square in L'Isle Jourdain, so really in the heart of the town, with all the advantages that this offers, not least of which is that everything is within walking distance. You will be impressed by its grandeur as you approach, but this will pale into insignificance when you step inside. The ornate double front doors lead into a bright hall with the beautiful original tiled floor and three further sets of double doors which open into the dining room on the right, the sitting room on the left and a further hall straight ahead.

The big dining room and sitting room both have windows on to the street, beautiful original features including ornate fireplaces and ceiling roses and wonderful parquet floors.The lovely family kitchen is at the back of the house and is very bright and welcoming, has tiled floor, a stone fireplace housing the range cooker and fitted units with wooden worktops. There is a very handy walk-in larder off the kitchen.

The beautiful oak staircase in the hall leads you up to an amazingly bright and roomy landing, from which superb carved doors lead to the book-lined study with french windows on to the garden, four excellent bedrooms, 2 with en-suite shower rooms and a lovely family bathroom with a bath and separate shower. Another beautiful carved door hides the staircase that goes up to the attic - a fabulous space the footprint is the whole size of the house and the woodwork is breathtaking.

The garden is mostly lawn and there is a row of outbuildings which could give you a project or just continue to use them as workshops, storage and a lovely shaded eating area for the summer.

There is so much more of this gorgeous property - please ask for more photos and details.

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.
