Poitou-Charentes, Deux-Sèvres, Ste-Soline, France

Offering excellent value for money, this attractive traditional French village house provides comfortable four-bedroom accommodation, two shower rooms, a manageable garden and useful outbuildings, all set in the heart of a lively village just five minutes by car from the popular market town of Lezay.

Recently renovated and ready to enjoy, the property combines traditional French character with the practical benefits of central heating and mains drainage. Its location and easy-to-manage grounds make it particularly well suited as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home, permanent residence or rental investment, with the potential to generate an income from holiday or longer-term letting.

The ground floor accommodation comprises an entrance hall leading to a good-sized fitted kitchen and an impressive galleried living/dining room. There is a further lounge, a ground-floor bedroom and a shower room with WC, making this level particularly versatile for those looking for single-storey living or a guest bedroom.

From the galleried living/dining room, stairs rise to a spacious galleried landing/study area giving access to three large bedrooms and a further shower room with WC.

Outside, the property benefits from a surprisingly generous yet very manageable garden, laid principally to lawn, with a large gravelled terrace immediately in front of the house providing an ideal area for outdoor dining and entertaining, complete with barbecue.

A gateway from the lane provides access to the rear of the property, where there is a large gravelled area offering parking for numerous vehicles. The property also benefits from a substantial single-storey outbuilding incorporating the central heating boiler and a useful workshop area, together with a further small outbuilding.

Situated in a lively village with everyday amenities close at hand and just five minutes from Lezay, this is a property that offers an appealing combination of space, character, convenience and affordability. Whether you are looking for an easy-to-maintain French escape, a permanent home or an investment with rental potential, this house is well worth viewing.
