Verrieres, Centre-Val de Loire

Reference: MLSM-T10268. Just 30km from the centre of Poitiers on 8 hectares of land, including an 11000m lake, sits this 5-bedroom house built in 2000. Electric gates open to a sweeping driveway that passes a large barn and outbuildings around to the main house and its commanding view over the lake. On entering the house, a left turn takes you to a corridor leading to the double garage, and before that a downstairs bedroom and shower room (perfect for people with reduced mobility) with double windows opening onto the front. A right turn takes you to the spacious open plan lounge, and through to the modern, fully-equipped kitchen, behind which is a laundry/boiler room with steps down into the cellar. The spiral staircase opens onto an enormous lounge/leisure space on the first floor. To one end is the parental bedroom suite with bathroom and toilet. At the other, a corridor leads to three more spacious bedrooms, a family bathroom and toilet. The main house is double-glazed throughout and the ground floor has underfloor heating. The house overlooks the lake, woods and gardens which are a key feature of this amazing property and must be seen to be believed. The formal garden is laid to lawn with a collection of fruit trees and a concrete base for an above-ground pool, whilst the rest is meadow (including a small island) ideal for camping or family adventures! The lake is up to 2.5m deep and is served by running water both in and out, so minimal risk of mosquitos and maximum sound of running water. Close to Poitiers (airport, TGV and Futuroscope leisure park) Verrires is a busy small town with bars, restaurants and shops all within easy walking distance. Also vet, dentist, doctor, school etc.
