This very pretty 3 bed hamlet house built in 1789 is set in a lovely garden (3,200m² plot) with pool, small wood and long views over the countryside. The town of Ruffec is 5 mins away and an artisan bakery is 1.5km away in the nearby village. The converted barn houses a large professional artist’s studio and office together with a guest bedroom and shower/WC. The house, with approx 200m² of living space, has been well renovated, keeping many original features, as befits an artist’s home.  There is a very attractive sun room used as a dining room with sliding doors on to a terrace.
