On the edge of Le Vigeant not far from the popular town of L'Isle Jourdain is this great property just waiting for someone to come along and enjoy its amazing potential and private surroundings. You do have some updating to do here, but it is not immediate and completely down to personal requirements/taste.

Built in 1851, these railway cottages do not come onto the market often, when they do they normally sell quickly as they are well known for their strong/robust structures. The old track in front of the house is completely overgrown now and no one walks it.

The couple who own this railway cottage are retired and looking to move to something a little smaller.

Fully surrounded by its own land (5717m2- 1.4 acres) this is a lovely house, with the great benefit that no one has to drive past to get to anywhere else!

Close to all local amenities, shops, supermarkets, restaurants etc and also on the doorstep of a wealth of walks and river based sports activities.

Poitiers airport and train station are about one hour away; Limoges airport is just over one hour's drive. The train station at Lussac Les Chateaux only 20 minutes away; which goes directly in Poitiers where you have TGV connections to Paris, Bordeaux, London & Brussels.

The house benefits from mains electricity and water; drainage is to a fosse/septic tank which works perfectly well but would not conform to current standards. Wood fired central heating.

You have a brilliant 8 x 5.6m workshop next to the house; so this would suit someone looking to work from home.
