This pretty stone farmhouse is situated back from a quiet, rural road with parking to the front. It is in good order, ready for immediate use and has been thoughtfully renovated retaining both the original beams and stone walls. La Rochelle international airport is one hour away.

The Vendee is well known to the French, but less so to foreign visitors. Butting up to Brittany, it stretches from south of the Loire down to the Charente Maritime and is known for its' warm and sunny microclimate. Statistically, this area has more hours of sunshine per year than areas further south. It has a long, sandy coastline dotted with little resorts and fishing ports. A drive of less than an hour from this property will find you dipping your toes into the Atlantic.

On the ground floor of the main house is a spacious sitting room (33m2) with an open fireplace, a fitted kitchen/ dining room (22m2), laundry (which leads to the gite), ground floor bedroom (13m2), a large family bathroom (11m2) and a separate WC.

Upstairs there are two further double bedrooms (28m2 & 22m2), one of which has an ensuite shower room.

The property is suited to all year round use with central heating, wood burning stoves, double glazing and solar panels to heat the water. The septic tank is compliant with the latest standards.

The gite is a real bonus for family, friends or income. It comprises a ground floor, open plan kitchen/dining room/sitting room (31m2) with a wood burning stove, a double bedroom (17m2) and a mezzanine (possible office/sleeping area) with a shower room and WC.

The grounds are lawned with a number of established trees and shrubs. There are some outbuildings, a games room, garage and an above ground pool. There are local shops at La Caillere and Sainte Hermine which are both about 10 minutes by car. For a wider selection we would suggest a slightly longer drive drive to either Vouvant or Fontenay-le-Comte.

The cottage can be reached either by air to La Rochelle or by ferry from Portsmouth to Caen. A drive of about 4 hours from the port will find you at your front door!
