3 Bed Farmhouse, Puy-De-Serre, Vendee

Property Description

Pretty farmhouse with 3 bedrooms & scope to increase the living accommodation, the grounds include a terrace area, orchard, 2 wells and a large pond, situated in a rural location surrounded by woodland and fields.  Vouvant is nearby for shops and amenities and there is good access to the coast and ferry ports.

Whilst the house was renovated between 2011 and 2015, there is modernisation work to do at this property as well as the potential to convert an additional 70m2 unoccupied space in an adjoining space as well as the attic areas.  There is currently a total of 104m2 habitable space.  Here’s the layout:

Outside:

A covered, shady terrace area is ideal for dining out in the summer months, but there is plenty of space in the garden to enjoy the sunshine through out the year.  The garden that surrounds the house is 2500m2 and, as well as lawn areas, has 2 wells and an orchard.  A 200m path then leads to the 6000m2 area which includes the 3000m2 pond.

Location:

The property is situated on the edge of the forest outside Puy-de-Serre in the Vendée region of the Pays de la Loire, but bordering the Deux-Sèvres region in the Poitou-Charentes.  The medieval town of Vouvant is 8km away where there is a good selection of shops, restaurants and an excellent weekly market. Vouvant is officially classified by the French government as one of the most beautiful villages in France.??Many outdoor sports are available locally including tennis, golf, horse riding, boating, walking, kayaking, cycling and paragliding. Thanks to the effects of the Gulf Stream, the region enjoys the highest number of sunshine hours on the Atlantic coast and that, coupled with its glorious sandy beaches, makes it the perfect holiday destination.  Other towns and villages in the area that are worth exploring include Mervent, Fontenay-le-Comte, Coulonges-sur-l’Autize, La Chataigneraie and L’Absie.  The coast is just over an hour away, and the wonderful city of La Rochelle is also easy to reach, and a great destination for a day out and a good seafood lunch!  There is also the airport at La Rochelle and the ferry port at St Malo is just a 3.5hr drive.
