Poitou-Charentes, Vienne, St-Martin-l'Ars, France

Step inside this hidden cottage in the French countryside, a peaceful renovated stone home full of charm, character, and quiet rural beauty for just �180,360.
I'm Andy Portsmouth, your local agent for this 3-bedroom 2-bathroom cottage with a riverside plot, at the end of a lane, with no passing traffic.
The current owners have beautifully presented the house in sympathy to its character - and it comes partly-furnished, you enter a large living room with beams and a Godin logburner set in the fireplace, and from there you move to the spacious kitchen / diner with pellet fire set in the original stone fireplace.
The three bedrooms are well separated - a doorway opens to a bright corridor leading to a laundry room, to a shower room with WC, and to a bedroom with reversible air-conditioning opening to the back garden; the current owners rent this section successfully as a holiday rental.
The second bedroom, through a doorway from the dining area, has a private ensuite shower room with WC, and again French doors opening to the gravelled terrace and back garden. The third bedroom is behind a doorway from the living room, and has French doors to the garden and to a covered terrace.
Please watch or request the house tour video, because as you'll see this layout really works nicely; it's a cute and comfortable house full of original character.
The house has double-glazed windows and doors. The septic tank is up to current standards. Much of the furniture is included! (please ask me for the list).
The village is a very pleasant 2km countryside walk or flat bike ride along the footpath at the back of the house, and has a bar/restaurant, plus another lovely restaurant on the village lake, and a grocery shop. Walk the same distance the other way along the footpath (it's a very ancient route) and you come to the stunning Abbaye Royale de la Réau.
