Property Description:
A rare opportunity to buy an established bed and breakfast establishment, alternatively, with all that it has to offer, this property would also be an ideal family residence.
This adorable house lies in a pretty hamlet (surrounded by protected countryside due to its’ historical interest), and is just a short drive from Chateauponsac which overlooks the stunning Gartempe river valley. The present owners have operated their bed and breakfast business for some time establishing a good client base and local reputation and they will even include their popular website in the sale and pass on any bookings to would-be buyers.
The property is typically French and has been renovated by the present owners with taste and many numerous original features having been retained. On the ground floor a small entrance area leads you into the cosy living room/library (18m²), dining room (18m²) with exposed beams and granite fireplace, a fitted kitchen (19m²) which has a bread oven as a feature, toilet and boiler room.
On the first floor, which has oak floors throughout, two sections of hallway lead to two bedrooms (20m² + 12m²) with en suite shower rooms and toilets (3m² + 4m²) and a third bedroom (13m²). There are two further bedrooms on the second floor (15m² + 20m²), an open plan study area (12m²), wc, and a shower room (5m²). For wine storage the property has a spacious cool cellar in the basement (15m²).
Set within its own walls there is a spacious courtyard and parking area in front of the property and from here one can also gain entrance to the main barn which faces the house. This barn covers an overall area of approx 125m² having a central section, two stable sections and mezzanine areas. This is ideal for storage and garaging. Attached to the house is a second L shaped barn (64m²) which has been re-floored and re-roofed. A change of use certificate has previously been issued to convert the barn into accommodation so if new owners wish to extend the property then this certificate only needs to be renewed.
A second stone covered and secluded courtyard lies at the rear of the property which leads into a covered wood store/outbuilding. The main section of the garden, which is laid to lawn, lies to the right of the property and a further small garden area is situated behind the attached barn.
The property benefits from central heating, double glazing and it has its own septic tank.
If you are looking for that “typically French style” property or wish to start your own “chambres d’hotes” business then this property is ideal. It has masses of charm and character and needs to be viewed to appreciate all that it has to offer.
