house for sale Lizant, Vienne

I’m Andy Portsmouth, the local agent for this fabulous renovated detached 15th Century stone house in rolling countryside just outside the village of Lizant. The house sits back from a quiet lane, behind a stone wall and gravelled courtyard with Magnolia tree. The gardens continue around the house to an in-ground pool, fruit trees and views. The house and gite have exposed stone walls in the beautiful light-coloured stone of the area, and have double-glazing and insulated roofs. You enter a wide entrance hallway with the original limestone floor and a WC, leading through the house to the back garden. On your right, a huge double-aspect, double-height living room (83m2) with logburner. On the left-hand side of the entrance hallway, a kitchen-diner (37m2) with stone fireplace and logburner - the kitchen opens onto a terrace near the pool. Stunning Elm stairs lead up from the entrance hallway to four large bedrooms (24m2 with ensuite of 11m2 21m2, 17m2, and 13m2), a bathroom (10m2 with WC), a separate WC, and a mezzanine (above the living room). The floors upstairs are beautiful elm (15th century) and chestnut. Attached, a gite (45m2), garage / workshop (38m2, so enough for two cars), and a storage space (50m2) with its own entrance and windows, suitable for conversion to a second gite. Also, another garage. The house has oil central heating and cast-iron radiators, the gite electric radiators. The septic tank conforms to current regulations. The pool uses chlorine, and is 10mx5m. The pictures speak for themselves, this is a stunning property in fabulous condition. The pleasant small towns of Civray and Ruffec with restaurants and supermarkets etc are each about 10 minutes drive.
