Property Description:
This cute little semi-detached cottage sits at right angles with its own detached barn, and comes with full planning permission for extension and conversion into a 2 bed house making approximately 100m² of living space. It sits in a small hamlet only a few minutes from the small town of Chaillac – a lively little place with bars and restaurants as well as a selection of small shops including a mini supermarket.The property consists of the cottage (attached on one side to an identical cottage – up-kept but not currently lived in) and the small barn set in a large garden. The cottage is one room on the ground floor (27m²) with the original stone fireplace and then an attic above. The barn is 24m² on the floor and will give enough height for 2 floors. Outside the land, mostly to what is currently the rear of the property, is around 450m². The approved plans are for an extension to be added which would join the 2 buildings, thus making a new entrance hall and changing the orientation of the property round so that you enter from the lane that runs to the rear. Also in this new part would be a large bathroom and a utility room. The cottage building is planned to be the kitchen diner and the barn the living room. From the entrance hall stairs would then go up to a large landing leading to 2 bedrooms, one over the cottage and the other over the barn. (Full plans are available to view when you are here!) The current owners have started some of the work and the property has been cleared, a new ‘fosse septique’ installed, a driveway laid for the new entrance and a hedge planted around the garden. The foundations have been laid for the joining building, and the concrete floor laid for in here and for the terrace, with a retaining wall. This is a really good little property that has great potential – it is a quiet spot with a good sized garden – you just need to do the renovations!
