This is a grand farmhouse built around 1850 which has loads of potential to be a really gorgeous house, with a lick of paint and a bit of vivacity. The current owner has lived here since 1959 and the house is crying out for someone to give it a new lease of life.

Ground floor:

From the front door you come into the hall, with the staircase going up straight ahead and doors to the left and right leading to the kitchen and living room. At the other end of the hall there is a door to the courtyard and another door leading down to the cellar.

Kitchen (5.06m x 4.06m) with lino floor, stone fireplace, wood burning cuisinière, stone sink, exposed beams and window to front (south). Two doors leading to hall and back kitchen.

Living room (4.8m x 4.7m) A well proportioned room with an attractive stone fireplace and a really beautiful built in cupboard, as well as exposed beams. This room has a large window to the south and although it is currently used as a dumping ground, has real potential to be a very stylish drawing room.

Back kitchen A useful storage area and boot room with stairs leading up to a big two roomed attic space above.

Bathroom with shower, basin and WC.

1st Floor:
Bedroom 1 (5m x 5m) with beautiful wooden floorboards, a stone fireplace and exposed beams. A large window faces south, allowing sunshine to flood in.

Bedroom 2 (5m x 4.82m) This is another huge room with windows to front and back. It currently has a makeshift partition making it two smaller bedrooms. It also has fine-looking floorboards and a stone fireplace.

2nd Floor:
Two attic rooms of a very similar size to those on the first floor with a landing between them (2m x 2m).

Cellar – a good sized storage area with a barrel-drop from the lane outside.

Outbuildings:
Little house attached to the main house. (5.5m x 5m) Needs work to make it habitable but seems solid and has a beautiful old stone fireplace: could make a cosy gîte.

A 2 roomed stone built shed on the other end of the house, with a door from the back room into the courtyard, currently used as tool sheds.

A double garage built by the current owner with another shed for tools at the end.

Large barn (20m x 10m) previously used for goats and currently used for sheep, leading into a second large barn (17m x 10m), apparently once used to house pigs.

On the other side of the courtyard is a massive stone barn (20m x 20m) with stables all down one side of it.

A large stone hangar with two open sides is at the other side of a paddock. All the land is pretty flat grazing land divided by hedgerows and bordered on one side by a little stream.

While this house is large and impressive, it is not unmanageable. In the middle of tranquil, gently rolling countryside of oak forests, sheep, cattle and sunflowers. Ten minutes from the beautiful valley of the Vienne with its opportunities for fishing, canoe/kayaking and amazing riverside walks.

40 minutes from Poitiers airport, TGV railway station and Futuroscope; 90 minutes from Limoges airport

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.
