Originally owned by the Notaires to the Kings of France and with parts dating from 1635 this is a deceptively large and interesting house in a large sunny position, high on the original ramparts of a large village, with panoramic views over the Vallée de la Gartempe and its Roman Bridge.
This large family house has been used for residential patchwork and quilting courses and is ideal for continuing a similar business (if required, comprehensive equipment for this can be bought by separate negotiation)/Chambres d'Hôtes/language school or artist's studio. Equally suitable to continue as a family house with 'Granny annexe'. There is a large entrance hall, office, fully fitted kitchen, cellar/larder, dining room with large original stone fireplace and wood burning stove plus French windows leading to the garden. There is also a sitting room which is a beautiful, light airy room facing south east with panoramic views over the Valle de la Gartempe. The breakfast room has tiled flooring and a large window onto a greenhouse area, then a utility room, WC, workroom/studio classroom and storeroom. The first floor has a staggering 9 bedrooms, most have en-suite facilities and all are light, airy and tastefully decorated. There is also a separate shower room on this level. The second floor has access to the loft area which runs from the front to the back of the house and is currently used for storage. Outside there is a wine cellar beneath the house as well as a two storey stone outbuilding, two garden sheds and a greenhouse. The large garden is well stocked with ramps and steps to each level and established apple and pear trees. The views are stunning.
