There are 3 bedrooms in the main property, a further 4 in the attached gite, and the swimming pool and 4.7 acres are the icing on the gâteau.

On the ground floor are the spacious kitchen (50m2, with tiled floor, cupboard and range), and the frankly epic dining-room (80m2, with a mezzanine floor, exposed beams and stone walls and laminate flooring). There's also a ground floor WC.

On the first floor are 3 bedrooms (17.7m2, 13m2 & 11m2, all with wooden floors), a lobby, a tiled bathroom, and a raised terrace, partly covered, with tiled floor (36m2).

The attached gite has an equally generous kitchen/diner (60m2, with exposed beams, stonework and laminate floor). There is also a ground floor bedroom (25m2, with tiled floor and en suite shower room).

On the first floor are 3 bedrooms (11m2, 13m2 & 8.4m2, all with fitted carpet and beams). The tiled bathroom has particularly attractive original rafters.

Outside is the attractive garden plus surrounding land of 4.7 acres (1.9 hectares) in all, ideal for the horse owner. There is a garage (36m2), boiler room and also and 8m x 4m swimming pool.

Nearby Châlus is as quaint, bustling and French as you could wish. Richard the Lionheart died here in 1199 and the local church are the proud custodians of most of his vital organs, though, ironically, not his heart.

There are 3 airports within easy reach (Limoges, Poitiers, La Rochelle) and St Malo is about 5 hours by car.
