REDUCED in price - Superb detached 4 bedroom property with a pool, gite/studio and outbuildings, situated in the countryside but less than 10 minutes from main commerce and schools. It has an impressive archway entrance and long driveway leading up to the property.

The MAIN HOUSE has a beautiful conservatory to the front overlooking the pool area and also on the ground floor a lovely fitted kitchen, 2 generous reception rooms (one of which could be used as a bedroom) and a shower room. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom.

The GUEST GITE is independent of the house, and the accommodation all on ground floor level. It would therefore suit someone with reduced mobility. Currently open plan, with a corner kitchen and a shower room, and a sleeping area, but bedrooms could be created with a small modification.

The gite also lends itself to being used as a workshop for creative arts or hobbies etc.

The outbuildings include a double garage with a hobby room above with a shower room, which could alternatively work as a self-contained apartment, and a large workshop with a cellar below.

This is a property which therefore offers flexibility, with potential income streams, space for hobbies and interests, as well as accommodation for extended family or friends.

The department of Deux Sevres is in the Poitou-Charentes region, in the western part of France below the Pays de la Loire region. In recent times this department has become an ever popular destination for French property buyers. Prices are still reasonable and one cannot help being seduced by the diverse cultural heritage, delicious local cuisine, seafood and of course the lovely rolling countryside.

Deux Sevres has a very mild climate, similar to that of Aquitaine and the Poitou-Charentes region, it is the second sunniest region of France where people adopt a relaxed, simple way of life ideal for holidays and leisure activities.

The transport links are very good too, with five international airports, the TGV (high speed train) in Niort can reach Paris in 2 hours, to Bordeaux in 1hrs 30mins and Toulouse in 4hrs 30mins. Good motorway links to Bordeaux, Nantes, Tours and Paris make it a great location.
