Super Charente Bungalow

As a retiree, the last thing I was looking for was the typically romantic dream of a huge, drafty old property, lots of barns and with acres of land in the middle of no-where. I’m only getting older and less capable of doing all that maintenance and wood chopping. Wonder why the French don’t want to live in them and leave them to foreign buyers?? Something agents don’t tend to tell you when viewing. Did you know that in France you are charged ‘council tax’ for every single fixed ‘building’ – conservatories, sheds, pergolas, barns, greenhouses, car ports, swimming pools…if it’s fixed down and immovable it’s chargeable!

So I bought this….charming, bright, and comfortable modern bungalow of 120 m² on a corner plot built in 2006- so practically new in French terms. 3 bedrooms of 12, 12, 10 m² – 2 have large sliding door built-in wardrobes. Bathroom with shower, heated towel rail, separate toilet with hand basin. Large living/dining room with 2 sets of French doors and a wood burner. Large fully equipped kitchen of 15 m². Very big utility room with plumbing for a washing machine. 500 m² garden surrounding the property with a very large covered terrace facing south.. Ample parking space if you have a camper van, plenty of space options if you wanted to add a carport or garage. Big garden shed. On a small complex of other similar properties so no worries about being isolated! Underfloor heating and hot water from city gas combination boiler. Mains drains, high-speed fibre internet. Energy performance certificate C/C. All yours for 170,00 – could you get this for your retirement at home? NO AGENTS – please message as I do not receive notifications on posts.
