For Sale, House with a view near Gouex - Vienne

They say location is everything and I totally agree; the views from the terrace of this house over the Vienne River are stunning; it is a little piece of paradise. Set on the outskirts of the village of Gouex, the house is hidden away down a tiny dead-end lane; Looking at the front of the house, you get no indication of the spectacular views you will get once through the door onto the back terrace of this house which is nicely elevated above the gardens and the river below.

This is a rural but not isolated location with some beautiful walks and views on your doorstep; together with water’s edge fishing and canoeing/kayaking.

The hamlet is set into the hillside and has the most exceptional views of the surrounding countryside. The villages of Gouex, Queaux and Persac are all only a 5-minute drive away from the house and between them offer good water sport facilities and services including restaurants; they are very popular holiday destinations with all nationalities.

This house is in a sleepy hamlet and has a large, attached garden to the back of around 2100m² which is fenced, and gated.

Lussac-les-Châteaux 86320; which is only 9kms from the house is a vibrant village with everything you need for everyday living; including supermarkets, restaurants and weekly markets as well as a train station with links to Limoges and Poitiers where you have TGV connections to Paris, Bordeaux, London & Brussels.

Getting to the area is easy with flights from many UK airports into Poitiers (47minutes from the house) and Limoges (1 hour 10 minutes) and trains (9kms) having links to services to Poitiers train station where you have TGV connections to Paris, Bordeaux, London & Brussels.

The main rooms are at road level, Living Room, Kitchen and dining room, with the attic space turned into 2 bedrooms with their own showers and toilets. Underneath the house are a further 4 rooms yet to be modernised. The gardens are terraced, and the previous owner had thought of extending to the right of the house to give more living accommodation. Another option would be to make an entrance onto the bottom terrace to give off road parking.

The house has mains electricity and water. A system for drainage is in place but it does not conform and at some point, would have to be updated.

For anyone looking for a safe riverside property, which is elevated with exceptional views but with some work still to be done; this property would be ideal.

PLEASE NOTE THE HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN LIVED IN FOR A FEW YEARS AND THE PICTURES ONLINE ARE THOSE OF THE OWNER BEFORE IT WAS VACATED, PICTURES FROM 2024 ARE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
