Former post office

This striking building stands in the heart of the village and every resident has visited it at some point. Now it’s time to put it to a new use!The layout The former post office was accessed via the steps at the front. It is an elongated space with a toilet in the corner. The connecting door to the rest of the ground floor has been sealed off. The ‘living area’ is located on the other side. The kitchen serves as the entrance hall. Adjacent to it is a large room (14.66 m²). At the end of the corridor is a side entrance, and the bathroom is situated in the extension. This extension is insufficiently insulated to be used as a bathroom again. One floor up, there are three spacious rooms, each measuring approximately 15 m², and a smaller room of approximately 7 m². All rooms have wooden flooring; two of the rooms have a fireplace. Two of the rooms are very light and airy thanks to windows on two sides. Upstairs, there is a spacious loft comprising two sections. The roof was largely renewed and looked after in 2022. Beneath the property is a cellar, where the oil-fired central heating system is also located. This will need to be replaced.Work required There are wooden floors, panelled doors, fireplaces and authentic radiators that create the atmosphere, but every room will need attention. The potential is clear, but so is the work required. The electrical wiring, plumbing and sanitary facilities need updating, and a kitchen needs fitting… A lovely challenge for a DIY enthusiast! The advantage is that the layout of the property can be completely customised to your own taste. Living on the light-filled first floor with a view of the church is certainly worth considering.The garden The garden is small and is situated at the side and rear of the property. There is no garage or outbuilding. The adjacent small building, comprising a garage, public toilet and public fountain, is not included in the sale and forms the boundary. There is ample parking available in the central square.Location and amenities Only on the 18th of the month does the peaceful setting change: that is the day of the Foire. The street and the square are then filled with all sorts of market stalls: from fruit and vegetables and delicious cheeses to flowers, plants and clothing. The Foire is the largest in the area and is visited not only by locals but also by visitors from far and wide. For the rest of the month, the local supermarket meets residents’ needs. The village also has a town hall, a bar and a café. There is a primary school, a sports field, a multi-purpose gym and a fishing lake. There is also a doctor’s surgery in the village. The supermarket and the secondary school are located in the neighbouring village of Châteauneuf-la-Forêt. If you enjoy walking or cycling, the surrounding area has plenty to offer
