| | Toby Hawkins, Independent Agent, says: | Set in an isolated location worthy of a nature reserve, this beautiful 4 bedroomed cottage has been carefully renovated, keeping its original charm with stone fireplaces and exposed beams.
The wonderful location and magic of the cottage are almost forgotten when you discover the garden. There is a fantastic collection of roses, including many ancient varieties, and David Austin English roses. They are entwined in the trees and pergolas in the formal garden, and also create a stunning display of shrub roses amongst the herbaceous borders.
The garden has attracted visitors from all over Europe and has featured in many television programmes and magazine articles as the perfect English rose garden.
| The cottage has a gorgeous living/dining room with kitchen, an additional drawing room, a study, hall and separate boiler room with plumbing for washing machine etc. and a downstairs loo. Upstairs you have four bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Outbuildings include a large stone barn.
The current owner is converting a barn at the far end of the property for her own use so if guidance is needed, there is an expert on hand for your part of the garden.
On the edge of the Poitou Charente region, this property has the benefit of being within easy reach of the tourist attractions of Chauvigny with its medieval city and wonderful markets; St Savin with its Romanesque Abbey which is a UNESCO World Heritage site and has many famous 11th and 12th century murals still in a remarkable state of preservation; Angles sur Anglin (one of the most beautiful villages in France) and the famous spa town of La Roche Posay. It is close to Poitiers and Chatellerault. Poitiers airport is 45 minutes drive and Tours airport is only an hour and a quarter away. The Loire valley, with its beautiful chateaux and wine tasting and buying opportunities is only just over an hour's drive away, so perfect for a day trip!
The fascinating Parc de Futuroscope is also only 45 km away, so there are amusements to suit all tastes which will keep all your guests busy.
