Property Description

This renovation project in a pretty village near Melle is full of potential. The 3-bedroom house for sale is in a popular, pretty rural village just a few minutes drive from the market town of Melle, Deux-Sèvres. Its a genuine renovation project that has been in the same family since the late 1960s. It needs updating and redecorating throughout, which makes it a true blank canvas for buyers who want to put their own stamp on a home, at a price that reflects the work required.

Gardens and outbuildings: The house sits on a gentle slope with terraced gardens. Steps wind up from the entrance to a large tiled patio, then on to the rear of the property, passing a separate summer kitchen, an outbuilding and two garages. These buildings offer real potential to convert into additional living space, a studio, workshop or guest accommodation (subject to the necessary permissions). There is parking for further cars, and the gardens have been used as a productive potager, so green-fingered buyers can grow their own fruit and vegetables from day one.

Ground floor: You enter through the kitchen, which still has its original 1960s fittings. Retro fans may love it; everyone else will see a kitchen ready to be redesigned. The dining room opens straight onto the patio, the perfect spot for breakfast at sunrise with birdsong from the woodland opposite. A bathroom, separate WC and storage room complete the ground floor.

First floor: The staircase leads up to the first bedroom, with two further, larger bedrooms beyond. All three face East, so you wake up to the sunrise and lovely views.

The work: Expect renovation and redecoration throughout, including the kitchen and bathroom. The good news is that the bones, the setting and the outbuildings are already here. Bring your vision and create your perfect French country home.

An ideal opportunity for renovators and anyone dreaming of a project near Melle. Viewing is highly recommended.
