4 Bed Village House for sale
Chives, Charente-Maritime, Poitou-Charentes, France
Full Description
Situated amidst the gently rolling sunflower fields of Charente Maritime, in a tiny hamlet just 3 minutes from the nearest shop and a short bike ride from the popular inland beach and lake of Les Gours, this property perfectly combines rural living with convenience.
The house is naturally bright (yet equipped with shutters and double-glazing to protect you from excess heat or cold as needed). Each room boasts fabulous views of the surrounding countryside and open skies, making it an ideal spot for stargazing. The spaciousness continues inside, with each room being generously proportioned and featuring an easy-flowing layout and high ceilings throughout.
The impressive family kitchen offers custom wooden furnishings and a large central island, with a cozy wood burner for relaxation on cooler evenings. This leads to a dining room with a beautiful arched window that maximizes natural light. The sitting room is bright and overlooks the private garden and patio. There is a downstairs WC. Upstairs, there are four well-proportioned bedrooms, 2 shower rooms and a bathroom.
Private gardens and outbuildings surround the property, along with a secluded patio 'suntrap' for late afternoon aperitifs or watching sunsets over the fields. Tastefully-decorated to balance modern comforts with original stone walls and fireplaces, this home is ready to move into. It would make a wonderful family home or could offer potential as a bed and breakfast.
The large hangar to the side has been recently renovated, to include a concrete floor, electricity and waste-water connection, should you wish to fit a summer kitchen or WC.
