19TH CENTURY FARMHOUSE AND OUTBUILDINGS, WEST-CENTRAL FRANCE

Description

3-bedroom family home for sale, complete with outbuildings offering potential for development, and a field of 4,000 square meters. With double-glazing, loft insulation, interior wall insulation and a brand-new heat pump, it has an excellent ‘C’ rating for energy efficiency. Certificate available on request.

The house sits in the heart of a peaceful rural hamlet of just 12 properties. It is secluded but not
isolated. The only noise is birdsong (although occasionally the peacock next door may yodel in its own unique way). Friendly French neighbours are always happy to lend a hand but are never intrusive. With no through traffic, it’s safe for children and pets. We have left the garden as a bit of a wilderness, for the benefit of wildlife. Lots of trees - walnut, fig, albizia, tri-colour maple, cherry, linden and a 400- year-old oak.

Perfect for peace and quiet, yet close to everything you need. West-central France is less rainy than the north, not as scorching or pricey as the south, and better connected than the east.

A 2 minute walk from the house leads to fields of sunflowers and maize. 4 kilometres away there’s a
small village with a typical French café, an affordable restaurant, a bakery, supermarket, pharmacy, hairdresser, post office and a medical practice with English-speaking doctors. Head 3 kilometres in
the opposite direction for a popular bar that hosts regular music and entertainment evenings. Whether you’re seeking total peace and privacy or a buzzing social life, the choice is yours.

The famous Monkey Valley and Futuroscope techno entertainment park are just two of the local and most popular entertainment venues within easy reach.

The historic market town of Civray is 10 kilometres away, packed with shops and restaurants, a vibrant Tuesday market, a cinema showing the latest English films, and a modern Nordic aquatic centre with indoor and outdoor pools and a sauna.

The nearest airport is a 40-minute drive to Poitiers, and the train station there has regular
connections to Paris and to the Eurostar and Channel Tunnel crossings.

One-third of the roof of the house has recently been professionally renewed following storm damage, together with three new Velux windows. The remainder of the roof will require some renovation
fairly soon, and the décor needs some TLC, so the asking price is just £120,000. For private sale only.
