Newly Renovated 4 Bed Detached House & 2 Bed Furnished Cottage, New 7x3m Inground Pool & Travertine Terrace

Property Description

Summary
Our house and cottage are a rare find! They are situated on the edge of the small market town of Sauze Vaussais and in walking distance to the boulangerie, bank, chemist, supermarket, tabac, bars and restaurant. The main road through the little town has been completely re vamped and there's a new restaurant just opened up. The main house has 4 bedrooms (two downstairs) and offers lots of space and light. Where possible we have kept the original features such as the original wooden floors and exposed stone. The independent cottage has a beautiful new kitchen, separate lounge, 2 bedrooms and jack and Jill bathroom. The cottage could generate additional income or it could be used for family and friends.

Additional Details
We are currently finishing this lovely renovation. The kitchen has been fitted in the cottage and I have listed some pictures. I have included a photo of a similar pool to the one being installed. Please note it is not our pool but a very similar spec. As the pool progresses I will upload more photos. Next photos will be of the two cottage bedrooms.

If you are interested in viewing the house now you are welcome to have a look before the works are finished. Just let me know - its a private sale.

All works will be finished before completion of the sale. ie:

Completed in ground pool with travertine terrace
Stone on drive, around cottage and terracing
Travertine on 80m2 entertaining terrace
New galvanised workshop/shed (18 m2)
