Exclusive to TIC! This beautiful detached character farmhouse sits in its own grounds of over a hectare of land with countryside views, 2 plots of woodland, a fabulous undercover dining area, and an above ground swimming pool surrounded by a wooden terrace.
The property has spacious characterful rooms and has a welcoming and cosy feel.
Heating is by way of an economical heat pump system, with solar panels which return around 500€ per annum to the vendors from the electricity company. There are also 2 wood-burning stoves on the ground floor, and electric radiators. The property is double-glazed throughout, and has an excellent energy rating of C, and the drainage system conforms to current standards.
A large attached barn with a wine cellar, and another large barn, make this an ideal equestrian property, or for anyone wanting to have a small holding, or for creating gites (with relevant permissions).
Entrance to the property is by electric wooden gates, leading to a pretty front garden and courtyard area with space to park several cars, or alternatively the barns can be used for undercover parking.
The land to the rear divides perfectly into a pool area, a garden area with the covered terrace, and an area with a polytunnel and vegetable patch. The rest has been fenced off and has required little maintenance.
The property is situated in a quiet hamlet between Ruffec and Civray, both being within easy reach for all main commerce and amenities, and the local village has a boulangerie, bar and brocante within walking distance.
