French property in Poitou Charentes - Vienne - Up and running Bed and Breakfast with great potential in the heart of a very picturesque village

Ground floor:
Hall (5.5m long) with two doors to the sitting room on one side and a door to what is currently a bedroom on the other side. At the end of the hall are double doors into the kitchen and the beautiful staircase leads off the hall to the right.

Sitting room (6.1m x 3.36m) with a tiled floor and a huge window to the front of the house and a slightly smaller one over the internal courtyard. This is a lovely bright room of generous proportions.

Bedroom (3.6m x 2.3m) This room would make a lovely television room or study. Large window to the front of the house.

Kitchen (4.3m x 4m) Lovely bright, fitted modern kitchen with plenty of space for table and chairs. Tiled floor and large window to the internal courtyard.

Bathroom (5m x 1m) with a tiled floor and a shower, bidet, basin and lavatory


First floor:
Landing with a large linen cupboard, beautiful floorboards and leads to bedrooms 1, 2, 3, the lavatory and the sitting area.

Bedroom 1 (3.64m x 3.35m) large window to the front of the house overlooking the street, a little garden opposite and the Abbey in the middle distance. Lovely floorboards. En-suite bathroom with shower and basin.

Bedroom 2 (4m x 3.14) Window over the courtyard. Adjoining large private bathroom with bath with shower, basin and bidet




Bedroom 3 (3.88m x 3.5m) large window to the front of the house, and like bedroom 1, has this amazing view of the little garden opposite and the Abbey. Also has lovely floorboards and an en-suite bathroom with shower and basin.

There is a cosy little sitting area on the landing with a large window and marble fireplace.

From here a door leads through to the second house. This has been partially renovated, and central heating installed.

Room 1 (5.1m x 3.08m) This room, above the garage, has been renovated to make a bedroom with broad floorboards and a large window overlooking the street.

Room 2 (5m x 3m) Another well proportioned room which needs renovating. It also has a large window on to the street and a door to the servants' staircase to the attic.

There is a staircase that leads down to an external door to the street.

Room 3 (5m x 1.5m) This room narrows from about 2m wide at the window end to about 1m by the door. It would make an excellent bathroom and has easy access to plumbing. It has a window to the street.

Attic:
The main staircase from the landing outside bedrooms 1 and 2 continues up to the attic, which covers the entire area of both houses. Above house 1, it is one enormous room with two windows to the front and a small window to the back. It has exposed beams which were reclaimed from the abbey opposite when the house was being built. A doorway leads through a stone wall to the attic of house 2. This is one large room with a small servant's bedroom in one corner. The servants' staircase leads down from here.

All of the attic rooms need renovation but could make an additional four bedrooms and bathroom.

Outside:
There is a private courtyard outside the kitchen door, which is not overlooked by any neighbouring properties. This leads to the back door of the garage and two sheds. The garage houses the boiler and plumbing for washing machine and has an automatic door to the street.

This is a very large house in a prime location in a picturesque historic small town. It has potential to be an enormous nine bedroom house - you could let five rooms as bed and breakfast and still have four bedrooms for the family! A new life and income all in one.
