Detached, Fully Renovated House Bordering a River on 1,000 m².

Property Description

Detached house, tranquilly located in a cul de sac in a very quiet area of Chabanais, but within a 7-minute walk along the river to the centre are cafes, shops and bars.

The property has been renovated to a high standard with view to reduction of heating bills through significant insulation, double glazing, and solar water heating. Some internal walls have also been insulated. All walls have been replastered.

The house was gutted, re-organised for modern living and has been totally rewired, plumbed and insulated throughout. A conservatory was added, the cellar floor concreted for the perfect 'man cave' with room for both utilities section and a huge workshop area.
It is in excellent condition and ready to move into.

The 1,000 m² garden was planned to be self sufficient for fruit and vegetables with minimal effort. The soil is very fertile and is easy to grow in. It borders the river Vienne.

The garden is long and backs onto the Vienne River.
It is divided into three parts.

This is a sensory garden filled with bee and bird attracting plants and fragrant flowers for all year long flowerings. Flowers and soft fruits, fig, walnut and apple trees with outdoor dining room for barbeque, sitting etc.
At the side of the driveway where cars can be parked, is a lavender hedge and also a grape vine. Through a wisteria arch is the vegetable garden. This provides food for the table all year round. There are additional apple trees, cherry, grapes, all sorts of soft fruits, artichokes etc. A large fruit cage big enough to stand up in for additional soft fruits. A garden shed with veranda big enough for a small table and seats.
Wildlife garden. Occasionally mowed but well treaded– a refuge for birds, small mammals. This goes down to the Vienne River separated by a fence and gate.

The view from there is across the river to unbuilt land.
