Renovated farmhouse with cottage

Here you have a traditional style farmhouse with a small cottage which could be used as a gite or a guest house plus a piggery. The property is located at the edge of a small hamlet not far from Mauprevoir and L'Isle Jourdain.

On the main floor of the main house there is a living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, bathroom and a WC. Upstairs has been configured as three bedrooms and a second bathroom. All the heavy work has been done leaving only the painting to do and the final fitting out of the bathroom.

The cottage has been on a short term let (expiring Dec 2011) and has a living room, kitchen/dining area, one bedroom and a bathroom- all on the ground floor. There is an attic and, to one side, a garage. This building would benefit from some modernisation but would make an ideal gite or separate guest house.
Forming the third side of the courtyard is a piggery- currently used for storage.

Situated at the edge of the hamlet the property enjoys views of open countryside. The property gives one the feeling of being in the heart of the countryside and yet is only a few minutes drive from L'Isle Jourdain. Situated on the river Vienne this town offers a wide range of shops, restaurants and bars as well as a twice weekly market. There are plenty of countryside walks nearby and the river offers fishing and canoing in the summer.
Located about an hour from the airports at Limoges and Poitiers this would make an easily accessible holiday home, at the same time offering sufficient space for a permanent residence.

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.
