Our local agent Andy Portsmouth offers you, just 2km from the thriving village of Bussiere Poitevine, these two neighbouring stone houses in great condition – one is currently used as owners’ accommodation, and the other has been a successful holiday rental for years.
Surrounded by countryside, at the end of a lane (so no traffic), parking is easy and each house has a lovely attached garden.
The first house (the owners’) has a large yet cozy living room (26m2) with oak beams and a logburner, leading to a hallway with WC and small utility space, and to the bright kitchen and dining area (20m2) overlooking and opening to the back garden.
Up the oak stairs, are two double bedrooms and a newly-fitted shower room with WC, and a spacious hallway.
The house is double-glazed except for the living room which has secondary glazing, and the roof is insulated.
The second house (the holiday rental) has a large main room (23m2) with logburner, a spacious kitchen (19m2), a WC and bathroom, then upstairs are two bedrooms, one with an ensuite shower room.
Outside, a hot tub for the rental, which is included, as is the furniture in that house. Both houses are on a septic tank which whilst fully functional will need updating, both houses have modern electricity.
The houses have two friendly neighbours, living there full-time, one French and one a British/American couple who have helped in the past with the rental.
Bussiere-Poitevine has a mini supermarket, bakery, café/bar, restaurant, pharmacy, DIY store, and petrol station. The towns of Le Dorat and Bellac are 14 and 19 minutes by car.
Here is a way to arrive in France to a beautiful renovated home, plus an established income from a picture-postcard cottage.
