A34105LS16 - Rustic Charente Home with Character & Investment Potential
Nestled in a quiet hamlet just 3 km from Chalais in the Charente region, this charming 194 m² stone house offers a rare blend of rustic character and flexibility. Set on a generous 2,350 m² garden with mature fruit trees, the property is ideal as a family residence, holiday home — or even a small development project.

Key Features & Layout
Spacious Living Areas: Enter through the front garden into an entrance hall that leads into a large 24 m² kitchen, a 20 m² dining room with a cozy wood-burning stove, and a 25 m² living room complete with an open fireplace — perfect for relaxing evenings.

Three Generous Bedrooms: Upstairs, discover three large double bedrooms (21 m², 23 m², 25 m²) and a 4 m² bathroom.

Attic Conversion Potential: The mansard-style attic offers full head height, providing excellent space for further accommodation or a project conversion.

Storage & Cellar: A cellar accessible from the side of the house adds practical storage space.

Land & Development Opportunity
The landscaped garden, mainly lawn with fruit trees, provides a peaceful outdoor retreat.

There is potential to convert part of the garden into a building plot, subject to permissions — a significant opportunity for expansion or investment.

Recent Upgrades & Condition
The roof and most windows have been replaced in recent years, reducing the need for major structural work.

Heating is provided by fireplaces / log-burning stoves. The house is habitable now, but with its “high energy consumption” rating, there is strong potential for energy-efficiency upgrades.

Location Advantage
At only 3 km from Chalais, you benefit from local amenities and train links to Bordeaux and Angoulême, making this property an excellent base for travel or commuting.

The region offers peaceful rural living in Nouvelle-Aquitaine, easily accessible yet removed from the bustle.
