Back in 2006, this property was looking for someone to turn it into an impressive home; it was lucky it found just the right people!

Situated down a little side lane at the edge of a pretty village and only 500m walk from a very nice restaurant, this is an exceptional opportunity to acquire a prestige home with exceptionally pretty gardens. The closest large towns are Civray and Savigne (10kms) between them you have everything you could possibly need.

Civray is set on the Charente river and has all the amenities needed for everyday life including a twice weekly market and an aqua centre with large park. It is also a great base for getting around the Vienne, Charente and Charente Maritime, with many visitor attractions only a small drive away including La Vallee Des Singes.

Poitiers airport and train station are a 47km's from the house; Limoges airport is 88km's. Trains at St-Savoil (16kms) will take you into Poitiers where you have cross platform TGV connections to Paris, Bordeaux and other French cities plus Brussels and London (via Lille). The ferry ports of St Malo and Caen are approx. 4 hours' drive with daily crossings to Portsmouth or Roscoff for Plymouth and Eire.

The house has Broadband, Mains Water and Electricity, drainage is to a septic tank. The main central heating is gas, the underfloor heating is electric and they also have a wood burning fire; these were conscious options to ensure that heating by whatever fuel was available.
