The ground floor
The entrance hall connects to a kitchen and a lounge. A wooden staircase also leads up to the first floor from this hallway. Beneath the current floor surfacing, there is an old wooden floor. The kitchen is comfortably sized. It leads out to the garden via a glazed door and connects to a spacious scullery, which also serves as a garage, built in an L-shape. The lounge is similar in size to the kitchen and has a fireplace. Further on, in an extension, there is a second lounge with a fireplace. It leads straight out to the garden via a glazed door. The room also leads to a bedroom, which likewise connects to the scullery and garage, which runs along the back of the house. A door leads to a cellar beneath part of the house.

Our opinion
This fine house is a delightful gem, discreet and open to all kinds of renovation plans. It is ideally located, not far from the vibrant city of Poitiers. Its external architectural design is well balanced and refined, giving it both true character and understated elegance. Beyond its classical facade, the interior is simple in style with generously sized rooms, a smooth layout and spaces that could be revamped for you to leave your own mark on the home. And the possibility to extend the house further, as part of a more ambitious renovation project, is yet another advantage of this unique property.
