For Sale - Pristine, Energy Conscious Bungalow with Pool - Vienne

Set on a plot of 5630m2 in Mauprevoir in the Vienne; is this pristine bungalow with 288m2 of living space and a beautiful, covered terrace looking towards the pool. Someone was very energy conscious when building this bungalow and they installed Geothermic Underfloor Heating (serviced yearly), which also heats the water. That is a great benefit; but you could go a little further and add solar panels to the roof and make yourself almost off grid.

The bungalow, which has 4 bedrooms; and would make an amazing family home or bed and breakfast is set at the edge of the village, giving it a privacy of its own together with beautiful views over the surrounding countryside. The size of the plot means that you could quite easily be self sufficient here with a few chickens and a well-planned vegetable garden; you already have a small orchard area with fruit trees; to give you a start.

The village of Mauprevoir which is in department 86 (Vienne) and is close to the borders of 16 and 79; boasts a chateau within its centre ville together with a bar/restaurant/hotel, village supermarket, bakery, pharmacy, post office, library, health centre, primary school (there is a bus service for older children to go to secondary school), garage and a hairdresser. The village also has some very active community groups and I have been to their jazz festival a few times; which is a great day out.

With all of the above you really do not need to leave the village if you do not want to, but if you do want the odd day out then the larger towns of Charroux (11km), L'Isle-Jourdain (15km) Savigne (17km) Civray (22km) and Confolens (23km) all have supermarkets (Savigne having a very large commercial centre) and all other amenities you may need; together with some amazing cultural and natural sights; something for everyone.

The commune also maintains a lovely park area, with a children's play area, fishing lake and tennis court, an ideal paradise for families.

Getting to the area is easy with flights from many UK airports into Limoges and Poitiers Airports; both being around a 1-hour drive away. Train links from Poitiers train station have TGV connections to Paris, Bordeaux, London & Brussels. You also have Bordeaux airport just 2 hours away.

The house has mains water, electricity, is double glazed with electric shutters; geothermic underfloor and water heating and drainage is to a conforming fosse. Fibre internet connection, I am told is imminent in the village.

NB: It should be noted that most of the furniture and white goods could be included in the sale if required and subject to negotiation.
