It is only the outline of a few houses that makes you think you might be on the right track to get to this little hamlet comprising of 5 houses in total; you could be forgiven for thinking nothing ever comes this way; but the current owners have been running this as a very successful B & B nicely tucked away from its closest village which is Champniers, just 2km down the road.
Once in the hamlet, you are immediately taken aback by how the houses are placed, offering this property a very private garden and even privacy from its B & B guests. It is like you are in the middle of nowhere, but in actual fact you are only 6kms from shops in Sommieres du Clain and 11kms from the middle of Civray.
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. One of the reasons why this B & B is so successful.
Poitiers airport and train station are a 46km's from the house; Limoges airport is 88km's. Trains at St-Savoil (14kms) 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 house has been beautifully renovated with great attention to details; it has a new roof, is fully insulated and double glazed. Mains Water and Electricity; Gas (Bottled), Energy Saving Radiators and 3 wood burning fires. The fosse was done in 2015.
The average broadband speed in this area is 3-30Mbps.
