Property Description
Delightful property with a great commercial opportunity to take over. Conveniently located close to Ruffec and Villefagnan and tucked away in the most tranquil hamlet nestled in the woods. The spacious main house has 2 en-suite bedrooms (each with a mezzanine storage area above) but with the possibility of having a 3rd on the ground floor, private outbuildings and attractive mature gardens. The stone house is an architect designed barn conversion offering modern comforts and retaining all of the character you would expect. The handmade solid wood kitchen has a practical layout with a useful pantry adjacent. A wonderful open-plan dining room / lounge boasts wonderful light from the large double-glazed wall which was formally the place of the old barn doors. Cosy underfloor central heating which is thermostatically controlled. On the other side of the quiet lane are the 4 gîtes. Each of the gîtes have been regularly rented out and are completely independent with access to a courtyard. The 4th gîte has a private garden and has been rented out long term. Each cottage has its wood stove. A unique opportunity to take over a successful and established business requiring no work.
