REDUCED in price - This attractive stone property situated in Sauze-Vaussais is within walking distance of supermarkets, bars, restaurants and local commerce. It has two bright living rooms, a fitted kitchen, dining-room and WC on the ground floor, and 3 bedrooms (one is en-suite) and a family bathroom on the first floor.

The property sits in a plot of just under an acre, with mature trees, fruit trees, a choice of terraces and sitting-out areas, and an above-ground pool, giving you the best of both worlds - a village property with a countryside feel.

The outbuildings provide the potential for conversion to additional accommodation.

The property benefits from double-glazing and an oil-fired central heating system, and is on mains drains.

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.
