We're aiming for a bit of variety: pretty cottages like this one, manor houses, mills and châteaux.. hope you agree? And it's so nice to tour a cottage like this, to see what's really truly possible (€75,000), as all of these lovely homes share the very same magic; a sense of romance, peace and calm.
In the centre of the lovely small town of L'Isle Jourdain, Vienne, a safe and friendly place of about 1500 people with stunning scenery, is this semi-detached stone house on a quiet street, a short walk from the bakery and cafés.
At one time it was a notaire's office, and there are beautiful old polished oak floors, with floorboards of varying widths as is typical of its age. The original windows, arched at the top, show the status of the building, a rare feature around here.
Downstairs, there's the living room, a dining room open to the garden, kitchen with table, bathroom and separate WC. Upstairs, four bedrooms served by two staircases, one each side of the house. Outside, a garage, a shed. The front garden has those original iron railings and gates, and a side-alley leads to the beautiful south-facing back garden and terrace.
