The house is deceptively large and, with 155m2 of habitable space, it makes some grander-looking houses appear pokey. It has 11 rooms in total, all of them decent sizes. On the ground floor is the living room (25m2), the fitted kitchen/diner (15m2), 2 bedrooms (15m2 and 10m2), a bathroom with shower (8m2) and a separate WC. At the rear, there is a conservatory (18m2) with tiled roof and sliding patio doors.

On the first floor there are 2 further, very large bedrooms (20m2 and 25m2) and on the second floor is the attic (45m2) with potential for conversion to further accommodation. The basement consists of a garage (20m2), a laundry room (15m2) and a wine cellar (15m2). Oil-fired central heating is installed and the house is connected to mains drains.

In total, the grounds amount to 1600m2 (0.4 acres), including a possible building plot. There is a large workshop (250m2) used as business premises by the former owner, which would make very useful storage space or garaging.

The property is just a couple of minutes' walk from the shops at La Caillere. These include a good selection of shops for everyday needs, a bar/restaurant, bank and schools. The airport and sea at La Rochelle are less than an hour away and the airport at Poitiers is about an hour's drive. The St Malo ferry is reached in a little over 3 hours.

The coast of the Vendee extends over 160km of mostly sandy beaches. Coupled with an exceptionally mild climate, these have long attracted large numbers of overseas and domestic tourists. Some popular resorts include Les Sables d'Olonne, La Tranche-sur-Mer and Saint Jean de Monts.

Inland, the chief attractions include the Marais Poitevin (an area of marshlands, famed for wildlife), the forested area around the village of Mervent, the rolling countryside of the Bocage and the historical theme park at the Puy de Fou.
