Poitou-Charentes, Vienne, L'Isle-Jourdain, France

In a secluded spot only 6km from the lovely small town of L'Isle Jourdain, in a quiet cul-de-sac, is this spacious stone house with 1.5 hectares of mixed woodland and pasture, and a pool.

The entrance hall leads to the large kitchen/diner (46m2), two downstairs bedrooms (23m2 and 22m2), a shower room, a WC, a utility room (22m2) and a workshop (27m2). Stairs lead from the entrance hall to two more bedrooms (15m2, 15m2), a dressing room, and a storage room (15m2, suitable for conversion to another bedroom or bathroom).

Above the kitchen/dining room and connected to it by stairs, on a mezzanine level, is a living room (25m2) with logburner.

Outside, a 40m2 patio, a pool, a well, a stream-fed pond, and a pretty 'barbecue kitchen' in the garden. There is an attached barn used as a garage for two cars, plus other outbuildings which total 145m2. Modern electricity, functioning fosse septique (non conforme). Apart from the logburner in the living room, the house had an air-to-air heat-pump which is no longer complete, but some elements of this remain. The other side of the attached barn, is attached to the neighbour's barn, otherwise the house is detached.
