This pretty 2-bed stone house and garden has plenty of original character and scope to convert the attic and increase the living space. Situated close to the village of Foussais-Payre Mervent forest and the pretty riverside town of Vouvant, it is a lovely rural base with lots of amenities nearby.

The roof was redone in 2022 and the septic tank drainage system conforms to current regulations. The cottage has 80m2 habitable space but should permission be granted to convert the attic, an additional 30m2 could be added. Here is the current layout :

Ground Floor:

Open plan living area with beautiful beams and period fireplace

Kitchenette area

Large family Shower room with WC

Cellar

First Floor:

1 Double bedroom

2 Double bedroom

30m2 attic space

The cottage is surrounded by a lovely garden that teams with wildlife. It is an area of roughly a third of an acre. There is a large open fronted barn, a garage, shaded terrace area and a wood store. The property also has an adjoining area of land that is just under 3 acres that is rented to a local farmer who maintains the area.

Location:

The cottage is situated in a pretty little hamlet just a few kilometres from Foussais-Payre and Mervent, a riverside town with daily amenities and its surrounding forests. Nearby towns that are well worth exploring include Vouvant, Antigny, Fontenay-let-Comte and La Chataigneraie.

Mervent is one hour from the coast, 3.5 hours from the ferry port and 1hr 20mins from the ferry port at Poitiers.
