Perfect Lock Up and Leave Cottage
Charming French country cottage set in a peaceful and picturesque hamlet — perfect as a lock-up-and-leave holiday home or a smart buy-to-let investment(subject to conditions).
The property offers easy living with a low-maintenance attached garden, off-road parking, and a handy garden shed. A separate nearby plot provides the ideal space for a vegetable garden or outdoor retreat.
Full of character, the cottage boasts a warm and inviting feel and offers exciting potential for light updating. Inside, you’ll find a spacious kitchen/diner, utility room with WC, and a bright, airy living room. A versatile ground-floor room—currently used as a bedroom—features its own shower room and WC, ideal for guests or single-level living.
Upstairs, two generous bedrooms showcase beautiful exposed beams and stonework, complemented by a second shower room and WC.
A delightful blend of charm, practicality, and potential in a tranquil rural setting.

Opening Hours
Monday to Friday 9am - 12pm, 2pm-6pmDiscuss an Offer
If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
