A48156ABR03 - Set in a peaceful countryside location in the commune of Tortezais, this charming country house enjoys a private setting with no overlooking neighbours and superb open views across the surrounding Bourbonnais countryside.

The property sits on approximately 2,049 m² of land and benefits from a lovely terrace overlooking the countryside. Beneath the terrace is a small above-ground pool, providing a pleasant place to cool off during the warmer months and particularly suitable for younger children. The terrace itself is a wonderful spot for relaxing, dining outdoors and enjoying the far-reaching rural views.

The house offers approximately 74 m² of living space and retains plenty of character. The entrance leads directly into the fitted kitchen, which opens onto a living room of approximately 25 m². French doors from the living room lead out onto the terrace, making it easy to enjoy the views and outdoor space from the main living area.
A hallway leads to a ground-floor bedroom and a spacious bathroom with walk-in shower, two washbasins and WC.

From the living room, a staircase leads to the first floor where there are two attic bedrooms. One of these bedrooms benefits from its own independent access to the outside, offering useful flexibility for family or guests.

Outside, two small outbuildings and a well complete the property. The gardens and surrounding land provide a good balance of outdoor space without being excessive to maintain, while the peaceful rural setting gives the property a real sense of privacy.

Heating is provided by a pellet stove, complemented by electric heating. Some updating would allow the new owners to modernise the house to their own taste and make the most of its potential. The furniture is included in the price, making this an attractive option for anyone looking for a ready-to-use country home or holiday property.
