Restored and keeping its character and charm, in the  lovely setting of the Gatine Hills (also known as ‘Little Switzerland’), this house sits between the bustling towns of Coulonges-sur-L’Autize and Secondigny where you will find shops & restaurants, including supermarkets.

Comprising 5 double bedrooms, all with ensuite facilities, a stunning lounge diner with a full height sunroom/reception room plus a further large first floor sitting room designed to take in the views of the surrounding gardens and paddocks. Take a swim in the pool, built into the hill, so you can enjoy the surrounding views.

Ideal as a full-time residence or can be split to accommodate a holiday rental. A former owner had set up a bed and breakfast/boutique style accommodation; as there are 3 entrances to the property, it is easy to section off an area for total privacy should you wish to rent out part of the house. Possible gite business (subject to necessary permissions)

The gardens and grounds are extensive but fairly easy to maintain. There are two main paddocks close to the house for ease of feeding horses. In addition to the paddocks there is an extensive forest that includes ash trees. A walk through the woods will bring you to a pond and stretch of river. In total, the property comes with 3.6 hectares of land.

The outside terrace is paved, making the most of the outside lifestyle, with a pool area and sun deck perfect for a relaxing dip on those long hot sunny days.

For those who need easy access to airports and transport, the house is ideally situated with low cost flights available from La Rochelle (1.15hrs) Nantes 1hr 30 or Poitiers approx. 1hr. The closest ferry ports are Caen & St Malo, both approx. 3.5hrs drive.

For entertainment, you cannot beat Puy de Fou which is just 40 minutes away, as well as Monkey World, Futureoscope and other main attractions in the area.
