Tour of a 15th Century French Country House,

This fabulous renovated detached 15th Century stone house in rolling countryside, just outside the village of Lizant in the Vienne department of France, sits back from a quiet lane behind a stone wall and the original gateway, with a gravelled courtyard and Magnolia. The gardens go around the house to an in-ground pool, to fruit trees and elevated countryside views.
The house and holiday gite have exposed stone walls, revealing the beautiful light-coloured stone of this particular area - the same local stone was transported for the building of the 12th Century church in Civray.
The entrance hallway has an original limestone flagstone floor, while the stairs and many of the floors upstairs are made of 15th Century elm, beautiful and now so rare, or chestnut.
The wide entrance hallway with WC leads through the house to the back garden. On your right, a huge double-aspect, double-height living room (83m2) with logburner. On the left-hand side of the entrance hallway, a kitchen-diner (37m2) with stone fireplace and logburner - the kitchen opens onto a terrace near the pool.
Stunning elm stairs lead up from the entrance hallway to four large bedrooms (24m2 with ensuite of 11m2; 21m2, 17m2, and 13m2), a bathroom (10m2 with WC), a separate WC, and a mezzanine (above the living room).
Attached, a guest gite (45m2), garage / workshop (38m2), and a storage space (50m2) with its own entrance and windows, suitable for conversion into a second gite.
The house has central heating and cast-iron radiators. The pool is 10mx5m.
This is property is in lovely condition. The pleasant small towns of Civray and Ruffec with restaurants and supermarkets etc are each about 10 minutes drive.

Lovely house. The desk in the front with the computer was a little weird. Makes it look like you are walking into a hotel or restaurant. Otherwise, it’s quite charming

[@kathifailor4660]

Yeah right 😅 I saw that The desk with the computer and I thought well. Maybe they're using this for a bed and breakfast type thing but then when you look at the bedrooms it actually looks like just a family home. So yeah that was a little strange but this is a gorgeous property and home but I wish somebody would let us know What they're using that desk and computer for😂 😃

Hi Kathi and Keith, I think I’d better solve ‘the desk mystery’ 😂 the owners were doing holiday rentals with the separate unit (that appears briefly as the very last of the interior shots), so the desk was there for that. As you face the front of the house, the holiday rental unit is on your right (with the wisteria on it),
