HERE COMES SUMMER !

As days get longer and brighter and cranes start flying over, you know spring is on the way! As the summer arrives early here in Deux Sèvres .. it’s time to start thinking about your lifestyle! For those lucky enough to live here it means an outdoor one .. whether just sitting in a shaded spot reading, indulging in a flower filled garden or growing tomatoes!. It’s essential in my book to have a selection of herbs outside ready for the pot. The worth of a couple of good rosemary plants stationed beside any barbecue will be measured in gold – or perhaps a glass of freshly chilled rosé – especially when you chuck a couple of sprigs on the coals! And mint is a must to flavour your mohitos! This is the ideal time to think about your new lifestyle with outdoor living. Over recent years the benefits of a good garden have been underlined many, many times and so we’ve picked a handful of some we’ve currently got on the market with which to tickle your taste buds or maybe inspire plans for a better way of living – oh yes they all come with a great house too! The first (A08791) is a quaint townhouse situated in the heart of Sauzé-Vaussais so all amenities of this small town are conveniently close-by the front gates! Before we step outside to the lovely terrace and garden I should tell you this home is deceptively spacious. Full of interesting features with three large bedrooms, fitted kitchen and the large living/dining room with superb feature fireplace which opens out on to the charming walled garden. Beautifully presented, it has central heating, mains drains and a garage, it’s on the market at €152,600.

The village of Le Busseau is to the north of Niort and it’s where we find our next house (A09251) sitting in the middle of its garden which extends to almost an acre. There are gated entrances, large lawns, vegetable parterre, a greenhouse, sheds, a paddock and an above ground swimming pool – more than enough for any outside activity especially with its sun-baked patio! Inside there’s a large bright kitchen/diner, pretty sitting room with feature fireplace and one bedroom with an ensuite shower with two more upstairs. Lots of room inside and out – for sale at €136,250. There’s an open sided summer house in the garden at our final property (A08799). Complete with summer kitchen, dining table and even settees and bookshelves it’s the perfect spot to while away those long summer days and evenings. And the beautifully presented house too is a delight with high ceilings, lots of features and charm, masses of living space inside, four bedrooms and convertible attic space. The very large garden also has a hangar as well as that enviable summer house - €267,500!
