Traditional detached stone property with an attached annexe, offering the possibility of an income or additional accommodation for family and friends. The property sits in beautiful mature gardens, with under- cover terraces to the rear, a large summer kitchen/covered terrace to the front, and an orchard opposite.

The main house would benefit from some updating (kitchen and bathrooms) and there is decorating to finish. There is some renovation/finishing work to do in the annexe (kitchen, bathrooms, connection of the water supply, decorating etc) but the main house is habitable and the property is in a lovely private location with no near neighbours, with just under a hectare of land.

Heating is by individual electric radiators.

There is a local bar (serving food) and 'Epicerie' within a couple of kilometres, with main commerce around a 10 minute drive, either in Sauze-Vaussais or Lezay.

The department of Deux Sevres is in the Poitou- Charentes region, in the western part of France below the Pays de la Loire region. In recent times this department has become an ever popular destination for French property buyers. Prices are still reasonable and one cannot help being seduced by the diverse cultural heritage, delicious local cuisine, seafood and of course the lovely rolling countryside.

Deux Sevres has a very mild climate, similar to that of Aquitaine and the Poitou- Charentes region, it is the second sunniest region of France where people adopt a relaxed, simple way of life ideal for holidays and leisure activities.

The transport links are very good too, with five international airports, the TGV (high speed train) in Niort can reach Paris in 2 hours, to Bordeaux in 1hrs 30mins and Toulouse in 4hrs 30mins. Good motorway links to Bordeaux, Nantes, Tours and Paris make it a great location.
