This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom property has a contemporary feel to it. The involvement of an Architect in the design process is evident in the bright and airy living spaces and the position of the pool. The property is situated in an elevated position above the riverside town of Porte-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt, just 1.5km from all the shops, restaurants and cafes.

There is certainly work to do to here, but there is also great potential. The house is a little tired around the edges and a new heating system is needed. The grounds are a good size and need a little imaginative planting and groundwork design. However, the house is in a great location and is solid in its' construction. It's got great spaces to work with and it wouldn't take much to create a property with real WOW factor.

All the accommodation is configured on the ground floor. Here's the layout:

Entrance hall - 7.5m2

An open-plan living space of 63m2 incorporates:

- Large sitting room with double-height ceiling, glass frontage and wood-burning stove

- Side office space

- The kitchen area

Corridor of 8.2m2 leads to the 3 ground floor bedrooms:

Bedroom 1: 16.7m2 with terrace access and 6.3m2 ensuite bathroom

Bedroom 3: 13.4m2 with shower room

A cellar area of 8.4m2

Boiler / Laundry room of 9.9m2

Store room of 4m2

The swimming pool is 8 x 4m in size and the plot of parkland cover 12,579m2 (3.1 acres). The grounds are currently a blank canvas with a large terrace area around the house and grassland.

The house is situated on the outskirts of Porte-Sainte-Foy-et-Ponchapt and just 2km from the popular riverside town of Ste-Foy-la-Grande. There's an excellent weekly market held here every Saturday. The town has a good selection of shops, restaurants and amenities.
