The new properties for sale
In the Charente Maritime department, half an
hour from the stunning Atlantic coast,
Surgères is a pretty medieval walled
town, which has retained all its authenticity
and which lives year round. Our new project is
a small residential development, on the edge of
the town and within minutes’ drive from
the market square. The location is very flat
and it is possible to cycle or walk to the
shops. The development offers a selection of
one storey houses of traditional architecture.
The houses which range from two to three
bedrooms offer well laid out family
accommodation and benefit from a private garden
and garage. The specification includes the
latest energy efficiency standard and the
properties are built for minimal maintenance.
Surgères is a sought after location and
the properties are designed to meet the
requirements of a range of potential buyers,
from local residents to foreign purchasers, at
extremely competitive prices.
The area
The town of Surgères is truly delightful
with many points of medieval interest and
natural beauty. The small streets are lined
with historical buildings and elegant ancient
houses which are all well preserved. The place
is kept in pristine condition with colourful
flowerbeds and lawned public gardens. The town
offers an excellent range of shops and fine
boutiques and a good selection of restaurants.
The superb beaches of the Atlantic coast are
only half an hour’s drive away and there
is also a well appointed outdoor swimming pool
in Surgères itself. Inland you will find
golf, horse riding, cycling, rambling, tennis
and the pretty Charente River. Access to
Surgères is easy. The town has a TGV
station which enables easy commuting on
Eurostar and budget airlines Ryanair, Flybe and
Easyjet have regular flights to La Rochelle
airport (25 miles).
