With views across the lake and forests beyond, walk out the door in one direction from this lovely cottage in Vouvant and you have beautiful countryside to explore, walk in the other direction and you're straight into the medieval town centre with a range of cafes, restaurants and shops to choose from.The green-shuttered cottage is very pretty and has 3 bedrooms, an air-source heat pump, parking, garage and a lovely garden with wisteria covered terrace that overlooks the lake the medieval tower and its' ramparts.

The tower at the end of the driveway is a particularly interesting feature of the town. Thought to date from the 12th century and a protected historical monument since 1927, legend has it the tower was built in a single night by the Melusine fairy.It might be useful if a reincarnation of the fairy were to wave her wand at the cottage as the current layout of the house would probably benefit from some reconfiguring to make the most of the space available and those fabulous views, but there is a total 148m2 habitable space to play with.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £7,697 more.
