Property Description

Our ref- AI4997
Situated less than five minutes from the town of Sauzé-Vaussais where there are all commercial and leisure faciltiies yet set in a tranquil rural hamlet, this property just needs some new life breathing into it
The property comprises a traditional stone farmhouse with a collection of attached builidngs in good condition ideal for extending into with appropriate planning consent, a large enclosed garden and a field
The buildings are set well back from the quiet hamlet road and sit in the middle of its own land. Inside, the house is in need of updating but is immediately habitable and has mains electricity and water connected as it was until recently used as a holiday home by the sellers. Their family has owned the property for over 50 years and it was run as a working farm until the last few years
There is a modern fosse septique drainage system which has been inspected and conforms but with a couple of minor faults to rectify
In detail the property comprises:
Main entrance door into a reception room - 30.7m2 which has a tiled floor, exposed ceiling beams, Charentaise stone fireplace with log-burner flue but currently no log-burner. There is a built-in cupboard, doors to another reception room, kitchen and corridor leading to the stone barn
2nd reception room - 12m2 with exposed floorboards but not in great condition so some work needed. There is another Charentais stone fireplace with a capped chimney but simple enough to reopen. There is a glazed and shuttered door out to the front of the property and a stud wall at the back of the room dividing it off from the corridor giving access to the stone barn so the room could be enlarged if required
Kitchen - 14.5m2 which has basic units, sink, a log-burning cooking stove and connections for a washing machine and/or dishwasher. The kitchen also has the original wood-fired bread oven which is only a feature at present because the chimney is capped but could be reinstated if required. The kitchen has a half-glazed and shuttered door out to the back garden and the shower room and WC on one side
Shower room and separate WC - 2m2
Corridor to stone barn - 4.7m2 with exposed floorboards
1st floor which has laminate flooring throughout:
Corridor - 6m2 with a WC of 2.4m2 at the far end which could easily be converted to create a shower room or even extended into part of bedroom 3 to create a bigger bathroom
Bedroom 1 - 15m2
Bedroom 2 - 15m2
Bedroom 3 - 14m2
Current habitable space approximately 116m2
Attached buildings:
Stone barn - 57m2 which has internal access from the house and has a 1 and 1/2 height front opening currently with a metal barn door. There is a lovely oak truss and frame, gravel floor and a door giving access to the largest of the other stone buildings at right angles to the main buildings which itself is 14.5m2. That barn has its own door and a window on the garden side.
There are three other small stone buildings decreasing in size as they go along but they would be ideal for conversion subject to appropriate planning permission being obtained
To the other side of the house is another barn/hangar - 74m2 with a full oak frame and tiled roof but the walls are a combination of metal sheeting and wooden boards. This barn has an open entrance and a gravel floor with a rear door leading to the garden. The electric hot-water tank is in this barn
The front entrance is gated and a stone wall runs along the front boundary while the remainder of the land round the house is fenced. The garden goes around the front, side and rear of the buildings and is screened by hedges and trees so is very private. There are a variety of fruit and nut trees in the garden
The field to the other side of the property is currently just pasture but is fenced and enclosed by hedges and trees. There is a gate between the garden and the field and an entrance onto the field directly from the road
Sauze-Vaussais which is a 3 minute drive, has a large Super U as well as other independent shops, a restaurant and leisure lake with a summer bar and cafe. It is situated a ten minute drive from the RN10 Poitiers to Bordeaux arterial road. The location is well placed for airports with UK flights via Poitiers (45 minutes), Limoges (1 hour 15), La Rochelle (1 hour 30).
