02/05/2008, 11:12 Pool Girl Joined on 04/07/2005 Posts 7 Looking for...... We have just lost what we thought was ideal (inc blue shutters!!), and so are looking again for: - 2-3 cottages/gites (not apartments) with inground pool or space for one. One needs to be 3 or 4 bed the others can be smaller - Renovated (although one unenovated barn for a games room would be good) Some decorating only may consider!! - Not too much land. - Not too diffiult to maintain as we would be non resident (electrics, boilers, fosses and roof in good cndition/up to required standards) - Kerb appeal (very important), view if possible. - Within 5 hours of Caen, preferably Poitou Charentes/Vendee -- Within 1 hour of decent beach (that's an ideal, we will consider further inland as long as attractive for holdays.) - Within 1 hour preferably from 2 low cost airports. - Maximum E300 000 including all notaires and any agency fees if applicable, private sale would be better! - we can complete to suit vendors, within reason! Of course wish lists can go on and on so I'll shut up now...... I have been helped by this forum a lot, but now the search is for real I feel justified in joining in!! Please email only if you have a specific property that is close to our wish list! Thanks    Report
