In a quiet hamlet but only 10 minutes from the nearest town with shops, this pretty house offers country living without being isolated.

On entering you’ll step into a sizable open plan living/dining/kitchen. Also on the ground floor is a second lounge (or ‘snug’) which, if required could be a downstairs bedroom, and a shower room/WC. Upstairs you’ll find a large master bedroom with en suite, a second bedroom and family bathroom.

Outside there’s a paved area to the front to wander out with your coffee or for eating alfresco. Plus, just a few steps away from the house across a footpath, is a low-maintenance garden laid to lawn with fruit trees and shrubs.

The house is located near Verteuil and Nanteuil, dubbed two of the prettiest villages in France. The N10, giving access to the north for the ports and Eurotunnel and south to Bordeaux, is 20 minutes away. The nearest airport is Limoges at 73km.

With some lovely features such as stone walls and an ornate cast iron wood burner in the snug, this charming house is well-worth viewing.
