4 bedroom property for sale in Chef-Boutonne

REDUCED in price - Superb detached 4 bedroom property with a pool, gite/studio and outbuildings, situated in the countryside but less than 10 minutes from main commerce and schools. It has an impressive archway entrance and long driveway leading up to the property.

The MAIN HOUSE has a beautiful conservatory to the front overlooking the pool area and also on the ground floor a lovely fitted kitchen, 2 generous reception rooms (one of which could be used as a bedroom) and a shower room. On the first floor there are 4 bedrooms and a bathroom.

The GUEST GITE is independent of the house, and the accommodation all on ground floor level. It would therefore suit someone with reduced mobility. Currently open plan, with a corner kitchen and a shower room, and a sleeping area, but bedrooms could be created with a small modification.

The gite also lends itself to being used as a workshop for creative arts or hobbies etc.

The outbuildings include a double garage with a hobby room above with a shower room, which could alternatively work as a self-contained apartment, and a large workshop with a cellar below.

This is a property which therefore offers flexibility, with potential income streams, space for hobbies and interests, as well as accommodation for extended family or friends.
