French Gite property for sale Poitou-Charentes

A traditional country home set in a rural idyll, this is a charming restored charentaise stone farmhouse converted into three houses, with a barn to develop into a further house if required. The property is set around a beautiful courtyard, with just under an acre of land and an above ground pool. Located on the edge of a friendly hamlet, in glorious open countryside, with two gated entrances leading to two separate courtyard areas, the original eighteenth century farmhouse has been extensively restored to create a main house and two cottages. There is a wealth of period detail, original oak beams, original eighteenth century fireplaces and exposed stone work. The property is presented in excellent order throughout, with hand made wooden kitchens, staircases and floors.
