5 Bed House for sale
Chef-Boutonne, Deux-Sevres, Poitou-Charentes, France
Full Description
There are numerous possibilities for this traditional stone property in the centre of a small hamlet close to the Chef Boutonne. It could be a great family home with large kitchen, sitting room, dining room, five bedrooms and three bathrooms. It could be a chambre d'hôte or it could continue to be a gîte business, with the majority of bookings throughout the summer holidays but with long weekends booked out of season throughout the year.
The house has been renovated over recent years to the highest standards, with lovely wooden beams on show throughout. The huge bonus of this property is that there is a second house included in the sale! The house has been already part renovated with the hangar recently rebuilt with new timbers and there is a new roof. With the right skills and knowledge, this could make a second four or five-bedroomed gîte or a family home to live in whilst running the gîte.
The main house has a front garden and a drive to the rear of the house. Enter the house through the veranda which is throughout the summer months the hub of the house where there are tables and chairs to eat outside but in the welcome shade. There is door from the veranda into the kitchen. The kitchen is large and well-equipped, and off the kitchen there is a utility area and store room. From the kitchen there is a corridor leading to a sitting room, dining room, bedroom, shower room with toilet and another bedroom with en-suite bathroom.
A staircase from the utility area goes to the first floor. On the right is a small mezzanine overlooking the kitchen. A corridor leads to three bedrooms and a bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have sinks and one an en-suite shower room.
Outside there is a large low-maintenance gravelled area leading to a children's play area with a fire pit. Further on from that are almost two acres of meadow and orchard. The inground swimming pool with Roman steps is close to the house and always popular with guests staying. There is a large hangar which could be perfect for under-cover entertaining, plus several other store rooms and workshops.
