Renovated in 2020, this lovely 3-bed stone cottage & independent studio gite has so much character and points of interest it's great to explore.The gardens are perfect for enjoying the summer sunshine and the nearby town of Vouvant with a range of shops and restaurants is just a 10 min walk.

The property is situated in a rural hamlet and the views stretch across the surrounding fields, and yet you can be in the centre of Vouvant, strolling along the river, enjoying a coffee, maybe some lunch before ambling back home again. The current owners have capitalised on this location and the gite has a successfully track record of lettings. There is a total 200m2 habitable space and the layout is quirky. The house adjoins neighbouring properties and you can imagine how these buildings have changed use and the families that would have lived in them over their long history. Here's the current layout:

Location:

Surrounded by lovely countryside and far-reaching views, this is an area with lots to explore. The nearby forest and lakes are ideal for walking and water-based sports. The lovely riverside medieval town of Vouvant is just 10mins away. The town has 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.
