Property summary
Standing on a hill above the lively small town of Benet, this property already boasts 4/5 bedrooms, three reception rooms and beautiful gardens. Add to these the possibility to expand into one of the two convertible attics, to convert the former cowshed or barn, both covered by a huge mezzanine "leisure space", or to finish restoring the charming building in the grounds which houses the former laundry and bread oven, and you have the potential for massive family accommodation, guest or letting space if needed and lots of room for hobbies too.
The current owners have carried out a careful and loving restoration of the building over 15 years and have incorporated many original features, such as the animal feed troughs serving as a bar in the living room, which incidentally comes complete with billard table. There's also the original cast iron bath and the 1920's washbasin in the principal bathroom...
Seeing is believing so early viewing is advised for this property which is 5 km from the Marais Poitevin (Green Venice), 5 km from the nearest autoroute junction and convenient for the large towns of Niort and Fontenay le Comte.
