Poitou-Charentes, Vienne, Queaux, France

A42680DD86 - This classic country house is the kind of home that instantly puts you at ease — warm, welcoming, and full of charm. With a sun soaked, spacious kitchen, two inviting sitting rooms, two ground floor bedrooms, and three additional bedrooms upstairs, it offers generous family living with plenty of personality.

Step inside from the courtyard terrace through double glazed French windows and you’re greeted by a stunning traditional kitchen (approx. 29m²). This is a true heart of the home space: a generous range cooker, a double anthracite grey sink, a central island with a second sink, and even an open fireplace. There’s ample room for a family dining table, making it a wonderfully convivial spot for everyday living and relaxed entertaining.

A half glazed door leads into the first sitting room (approx. 27m²), where a cathedral ceiling creates an uplifting sense of space and light. An exposed stone wall and a classic Poitevine chimney piece anchor the room with timeless character, while another 1½ sized glazed French window opens to the courtyard, enhancing the seamless indoor–outdoor lifestyle.

Two steps up bring you to the second sitting room (approx. 25m²), again with a double height ceiling, exposed stonework, and another large glazed French window to the courtyard. This is a wonderfully flexible space — ideal as a second lounge, a formal dining room, or a quiet retreat.

A staircase leads to the family bathroom (approx. 14m²), complete with a lovely bathtub, separate shower, basin, and loo. Beneath it sits a ground floor double bedroom (approx. 14m²), brightened by full sized windows yet equipped with original barn doors to ensure peaceful, uninterrupted sleep.

At the opposite end of the kitchen, a passageway leads to the second ground floor bedroom (approx. 16m²), featuring parquet flooring and two windows — one overlooking the front of the house, the other the side garden. Off the passageway is a shower room (approx. 6m²), a separate downstairs loo (approx. 1m²), and the staircase to the first floor.

Upstairs, a landing (approx. 5m²) connects three further bedrooms and a convenient WC with basin (approx. 3m²). Bedroom three (approx. 21m²) is a superb family room, currently arranged with a double bed, a single bed, and a cot, and lit by a skylight with a charming exposed beam. Bedrooms four (approx. 15m²) and five (approx. 12.5m²) each feature a low beam on the way in and some limited headroom in the rooms, adding character and making them ideal children’s rooms, guest rooms, or creative spaces.

Outside, the gardens wrap around the house on three sides, dotted with mature trees, including fruit trees, creating a peaceful, leafy setting. The 12m x 6m swimming pool is fully enclosed by railings and a child proof gate, offering a safe and inviting place to enjoy long summer days.

Opposite the house sits a generous open sided hangar (approx. 55m²), currently enjoyed as a relaxed games area complete with ping pong and billiards — the perfect spot for family fun or summer gatherings. Equally, its size and structure make it ideal for sheltered parking should you prefer a more practical use.

Alongside it is a charming row of small outbuildings, offering useful extra storage or the potential for a chicken house if you’re dreaming of a more self sufficient lifestyle. Behind the house, a discreet lean to houses the central heating boiler, keeping essential equipment neatly tucked away yet easily accessible.

The property is currently enjoyed as a much loved holiday home by a large family, and when they’re not here, it has a strong track record as a successful holiday rental. Its generous layout, charming character, and inviting outdoor spaces make it particularly appealing to guests, offering excellent potential for continued seasonal income.
