Description
A immaculate, eco‑friendly detached home with spacious living areas, modern energy systems and sweeping south‑facing views, set within 4 hectares of peaceful, private countryside—perfect for nature lovers, small‑scale projects or those seeking tranquillity with amenities nearby.
The house
Built in 2008, this exceptional, detached, eco‑friendly residence combines a clean, simple design with outstanding energy efficiency. A double‑height entrance hall, large living room with French doors and an adjoining bright garden room with four sets of French doors. A dual‑aspect dining room connected to a large, modern open‑plan kitchen with island. Practicality is built in, with a separate utility room, independent technical/boiler room, and a spacious integrated double garage. In addition, there is a large 7.5 x 4m separate garage, which is used as a workshop and storage.
The home benefits from underfloor heating throughout with each room controlled by a separate thermostat. The heating/hot water is powered by a dual purpose 600 litre Acv Smartline stainless steel tank which can be connected to multiple heating sources (air/ground pump, conventional boiler, solar). Already installed in the house are three 2.3m2 Wolf Cfk-1 flat-plate solar panels, generating abundant levels of free hot water during the summer months.
On the first floor, three spacious bedrooms all enjoy sweeping south‑facing views. The master suite boasts a generous ensuite and walk‑in wardrobe, while the family bathroom mirrors the same high‑quality specification with bath, separate shower, toilet, sink & bidet.
Bright, airy, well-designed and impeccably maintained, this home offers exceptional living space, modern eco‑credentials, and far-reaching views stretching around 30km to the south.
The land
The home is set within 4 hectares of incredibly private, peaceful countryside, with few neigbours and almost no light or sound pollution. Immediately around the house is a manageable area of gardens comprising mature trees, shrubs and natural hedging. The rest of the land surrounds the house and consists of three large fields, which were formerly pasture but which have been left untouched by any farming practices for more than 15 years. At present, the fields are largely left to nature except for being cut once per year. There is enough space to consider a variety of longer-term projects, such as generating substantial amounts of fruit & vegetables, or keeping a variety of animals. In addition, the format of house & land, and its potential, might suit individuals seeking to establish an eco-community.
The area:
Nestled in the tranquil countryside of Deux-Sèvres, the area offers the perfect blend of undisturbed peace & quiet, with modern conveniences relatively close by. The towns of Parthenay and Secondigny are 10 - 15 mins away. Saint-Maixent-l'École is less than 30 mins away and offers a Tgv station with high-speed links to Paris in under 2.5 hours.
