Former Water Mill with Landscaped Gardens, Swimming Pool And Barn

Have you watched the video yet? - Let yourself be carried away by this timeless place, surrounded by greenery and lulled by the flow of water. This incredible property renovated with quality materials and decorated with great taste, offers comfortable accommodation and absolute peace. A short walk to the town of Chef-Boutonne with all its basic shops, schools, market, restaurants, bars, pool etc.

Its location allows you to live the active life of this region; a region very rich culturally, not far from the coast and with beautiful surrounding countryside.

The house is heated by oil central heating, as well as a high-performance wood stove (double-fronted for the kitchen and sitting room) heating the living rooms on the ground floor.

There is double glazing throughout, recently rewired (including the pool and terrace areas) and the roof has recently been refurbished.

The department of Deux Sevres is in the Poitou-Charentes region, in the western part of France below the Pays de la Loire region. In recent times this department has become an ever popular destination for French property buyers. Prices are still reasonable and one cannot help being seduced by the diverse cultural heritage, delicious local cuisine, seafood and of course the lovely rolling countryside.

Deux Sevres has a very mild climate, similar to that of Aquitaine and the Poitou-Charentes region, it is the second sunniest region of France where people adopt a relaxed, simple way of life ideal for holidays and leisure activities.

The transport links are very good too, with five international airports, the TGV (high speed train) in Niort can reach Paris in 2 hours, to Bordeaux in 1hrs 30mins and Toulouse in 4hrs 30mins. Good motorway links to Bordeaux, Nantes, Tours and Paris make it a great location.
