This 5-bedroom detached house plus studio apartment, is close to the centre of the wonderful small town of L'Isle Jourdain. It would be possible to split the main house - to create a second holiday rental apartment (or b b rooms) plus a private owners' accommodation, all with separate entrances. The house has a double-garage, and you can also park easily in front of the house. The ground-floor studio has a spacious main room (28m2), kitchen and shower room, with its own entrance. Also on this floor, two storage rooms (8m2 + 16m2) and the double-garage (50m2). The steps lead up the side of the house to the kitchen's covered terrace and to the garden (the kitchen also opens direct to the back garden). The kitchen (25m2) has windows on three sides, and so is bright and airy. Also on this garden-level, the dining room (17m2) connects to both the kitchen and the hall, facing the back garden, plus there's the living room (21m2) with logburner, a utility room and a WC. Spiral stairs lead through the house to the top floor and 5 bedrooms (one with a private shower room), and to a bathroom and separate WC. The current owner has recently had new double-glazed windows and doors installed, and a new garage door. The house is on mains drains and fibre internet is available, and it has oil central heating. The garden has access to a small lane at the back, the plot is 631m2. Just down the street, a recently-renovated public swimming pool, tennis courts, and a reservoir with kayaking and a café during the summer. A 5-minute walk the other way and you're at the supermarket, or in the main square with three café-restaurants, a bakery, co-op, wine shop (with tasting!), and hairdressers. There are also doctors, a dentist and a pharmacy here, and an ambulance service. The university city of Poitiers is a 40-minute drive away, it's a very pleasant city of 80,000 people with a beautiful cathedral plus the oldest standing Christian building in France, dating from 360AD, built on the ruins of a Roman temple. The city has a shop making violins, a shop with hand-made umbrellas, and many other fascinating shops and independent boutiques. The city of Angoulême, 1 hour 15 minutes away, is built on a hilltop with ramparts, and hosts an annual classic car rally where the cars twist and turn their way around the city streets climbing the hillside. The city of Limoges, also 1 hour 15, and famous for its porcelain, has a lovely old centre. There are some great restaurants in and around L'Isle Jourdain. You have three good restaurants a few minutes walk away, and the other side of the river (a 10-minute walk), are three more restaurants. Outside L'Isle Jourdain, the motor racing circuit brings custom to the town, with classic car events, GT and bike/sidecar events.
