This cute 2 bedroom cottage has bags of charm and character and would make the perfect French bolt-hole. The property comes with a separate workshop, pretty garden and a private parking space. Basic shops, including an excellent bakery, can be found 5mins away in the village of Sauze-Vaussais, whilst the larger town of Melle is 15mins away.

The current owner has done a great job of renovating the property. The result is more space and light, whilst retaining all the original charm and character. There's a 150m2 of habitable space, including the attached workshop. The property is adjoined to the rear and side by a neighbouring outbuilding.

The contents of the property are available by separate negotiation.

Cottage:

On the ground floor is a large living room (50m2), which is cozy in winter and cool in summer, with old stone walls and floors, original fireplace and wood stove. There is direct access from here onto a small walled garden, which is the perfect spot for al-fresco dining.

The Kitchen (30m2) has painted beams, beautiful parquet flooring and the original fireplace. There's also a large bathroom and utility room.

Upstairs are the two double bedrooms (43m2 and 31m2).

Workshop/Studio:

The adjoining workshop measures 45 m2 on the ground floor and 30m2 upstairs. This would be perfect as an art studio or could also be converted into a gite.

Outside:

There's a private walled garden that surrounds the house as well as a larger plot of land opposite, which would be perfect as a vegetable plot. There's also a wood-shed and another small outbuilding, which used to be the pigsty. There are two private parking spaces (within what used to be a barn).

Location:

The property is located in a small and friendly hamlet, between the village of Sauze-Vaussais and the larger town of Melle. Basic shops, including a bakery, can be found in Sauze-Vaussais whilst a weekly produce market, supermarket and a good selection of shops and restaurants can be found in Melle, which is about a 15min drive. Other towns in the area include Ruffec and Civray,

The cities of La Rochelle and Poitiers (both with airports) are 90 and 50mins away, respectively.
