Poitou-Charentes, Vienne, Pressac, France

From our local agent Andy Portsmouth:
Completed just five years ago, this exceptional renovation beautifully blends authentic French character with modern contemporary living. Hardwood doors, exposed stone walls, aluminium double glazing and elegant bi-fold doors create a home that feels both timeless and effortlessly stylish.
Please see the video tour on my You Tube channel Andy Portsmouth's French Country Houses.
At the heart of the house is a stunning open-plan kitchen and dining area (55m2). Bi-fold doors on both sides open completely, filling the space with natural light and creating a wonderful connection between the front terrace and the rear terrace, heated swimming pool and garden. It's an ideal layout for relaxed family life and entertaining throughout the warmer months.
Outside, the 8 x 4 metre heated swimming pool, also installed just five years ago, provides the perfect place to unwind, while the generous terrace offers plenty of space for outdoor dining and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
The spacious living room features a welcoming wood-burning stove and opens directly onto the terrace, continuing the seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. A convenient ground-floor shower room and WC, accessed from the entrance hall, also has direct access to the terrace, making it ideal for use after a swim.
A striking contemporary staircase leads to the first floor, where you'll find four comfortable bedrooms, two stylish shower rooms and a generous landing that enhances the feeling of space throughout the home.
For year-round comfort, an energy-efficient heat pump provides underfloor heating on the ground floor and radiators upstairs, ensuring the house is as practical as it is beautiful.
