With views across the lake and forests beyond, walk out the door in one direction from this lovely cottage in Vouvant and you have beautiful countryside to explore, walk in the other direction and you’re straight into the medieval town centre with a range of cafes, restaurants and shops to choose from.  The green-shuttered cottage is very pretty and has 3 bedrooms, an air-source heat pump, parking, garage and a lovely garden with wisteria covered terrace that overlooks the lake the medieval tower and its’ ramparts.  The tower at the end of the driveway is a particularly interesting feature of the town.  Thought to date from the 12th century and a protected historical monument since 1927, legend has it the tower was built in a single night by the Melusine fairy.It might be useful if a reincarnation of the fairy were to wave her wand at the cottage as the current layout of the house would probably benefit from some reconfiguring to make the most of the space available and those fabulous views, but there is a total 148m2 habitable space to play with.  Here’s the current layout:Ground floorKitchenDining roomSitting room with fireplaceGround floor bathroom with shower & WCFirst floor:Master bedroom (24m2)Bedroom 2 (10m2)Bedroom 3 (10m2)BathroomThere is also a room of 4 x 12m that is currently unused but is south facing and has views of the lake so, whilst the property is perfectly habitable, there is the space to play with and the potential to improve the living areas.  The heating is powered by an airsource heat pump that was installed in 2022.OutsideThe house sits on a quiet lane a short walk from the town centre.  The plot covers just under 1/4 of an acre (894m2) and there is a parking area, shaded south-facing terrace and a lawned seating area, all with those wonderful views across the lake.  There is also a garage and a cellar.LocationVouvant has a good selection of shops, restaurants and an excellent weekly market. Vouvant is officially classified by the French government as one of the most beautiful villages in France.  Surrounded by lovely countryside and far-reaching views, this is an area with lots to explore.  The nearby forest and lakes are ideal for walking and water-based sports. Nearby La Châtaigneraie and Fontenay-le-Comte are also well worth visiting and the beach is just over an hour away.  La Rochelle and the Ile de Ré are ideal day trip destinations, about a 1hr 15 min drive away.  La Rochelle also has the nearest airport.
