We can’t recommend Ruffec or Douglas enough
We began our house search during the pandemic. We quickly decided Ruffec was top of our list of locations - the train to Angouleme and Poitiers, cinema, stunning church, river beach, market and beautiful walking and cycling were just what we wanted.
We found a few properties but couldn’t visit in person. Douglas was great and the videos really helped us to understand the pros and cons of different houses. We offered on one property, expecting to view in person before buying, but further lockdowns meant it was not to be. We ended up buying the house without ever visiting in person. It sounded risky but Douglas handled everything and was fantastic at keeping us informed. We completed in summer 2021. We are thrilled with the house and the town. We can’t recommend Ruffec or Douglas enough.
