I'm Andy Portsmouth and I live in Availles-Limouzine, representing Selection Habitat, and I'm pleased to offer you this lovely renovated house walking distance from our town centre. Availles-Limouzine is a small town with a historic centre, stunning river scenery, and shops: a butcher, baker, grocer, florist, hairdresser, garage, pharmacy, two doctors and two dentists, a fabulous restaurant and two café bars. The house has private parking for 3 cars, an attached back garden, mains drains, modern insulated roof, insulated walls, and modern electrics. The main room, with logburner, kitchen and living area, connects to a downstairs bedroom (or separate lounge) and to the shower room with WC. Stairs lead up to an attic bedroom with window (the height is fine for me, I'm 1.8m). It's a great, easy to maintain and to heat house for one or two people, or a perfect holiday home.

With a stunning riverside plot, beside rocky hillsides, this three-bedroom stone house has lovely uninterrupted views on three sides of the Vienne river and its valley, and a large raised terrace for dining. From the terrace, you enter the main room of the house with logburner and windows on two sides, leading to the dining room open to the kitchen - all with those views. This area also has electric heating in the ceiling. Next to the stairs, a WC. The stairs lead down to three bedrooms, a bathroom, WC, and a storeroom with external doors. This is a very quiet and magical location, yet only 5 minutes drive from the town centre, and includes a riverside garden extending into the river on the base of an old mill, and parking for 2/3 cars.

With fabulous grounds rolling down from this stone house to the river Vienne, come stunning 180 degree views of the river and countryside - this could make a wonderful family home, but there are many other possibilitioes, this beautiful land could be used for a tourism project, perhaps camping and a B B - at one time the current owner had wanted a 9-hole golf course here... certainly an angling activity is a possibility as the river fishing is excellent (perch, carp, pike, sander) with a river-side cabin and 150-metre river frontage - the Vienne is France's fourth-biggest river, plus there is a spring-fed pond here with thousands of fish, and a second pond. Nearby, the Val de Vienne motorracing circuit brings-in high-worth tourism, plus there's a steady flow of other visitors - both French and foreign tourists, and people visiting family and friends - at one time the house was operating as a B B and restaurant, benefiting from those amazing views from the 52m2 conservatory that's open to the 65m2 main room with logburner. The adjacent kitchen has the views too. The land includes perhaps a couple of hectares of woodland with amazing wildlife to be seen - deer, a wide variety of birds including owls. On each side of the house, on the ground floor, is a bedroom (24m2, 16m2) and bathroom, and on one side a large workshop/garage of 44m2 with logburner. Beneath the conservatory, a 50m2 cellar/workshop. The house also has oil-fired central heating to radiators that is no longer in use, that a buyer could re-instate. Upstairs there are 5 more bedrooms (17m2, 14m2, the others 12m2), one with bathtub, washbasin and WC, and another with shower, washbasin and WC. There is huge potential here. The property sits in-between Availles-Limouzine (5km) and L'Isle Jourdain. Double-glazing. The septic tank will need updating. The price has just been reduced by €50,000, so at this level it is non-negotiable.
