Poitou-Charentes, Charente-Maritime, Jonzac, France

Spacious rural property with swimming pool,offering privacy and space in a lovely rural setting yet within walking distance of a beautiful town.

This large 228m2 property has been recently renovated and updated. It has no immediate neighbours, offers very generous living accommodation (with income potential), a heated swimming pool and superb country views - all within walking distance of the heart of the beautiful spa town of Jonzac.

The main house has a very large double living room, off which is the large kitchen with a fireplace and plenty of room for a substantial kitchen table.

The lower level of the house is completed by a second living area with double-height ceiling and an impressive fireplace. The open layout of the living spaces creates great flow.

Upstairs a large mezzanine-style landing (easily large enough to create a third bedroom with a large bathroom - subject to permissions) gives access to two double bedrooms (the master bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and space for an en suite).

Off the landing there is also a shower room with WC.

The independent completely renovated and fully furnished guest apartment has a charming living room with sitting, dining and kitchen areas. There is also a bedroom, a large bathroom (bath, walk-in shower) and a separate WC.

This apartment offers the potential for rental - subject to necessary permissions - (there is a high demand due to the thermal spas) - it can also be incorporated into the main accommodation for the private use of family and guests.

It benefits from independent electric heating, and like the rest of the house, from double-glazing.

Running along the back of the house there is a large garage / workshop, large utility area, boiler room and a barn.

These offer the potential for further development.

Accessed via new secure gates, the extensive and fully enclosed gardens are mainly left to grass with a number of mature specimen trees, shrubs and flower borders.

A large paved terrace to the main side of the property gives access to the heated swimming pool.

The terrace, which has outstanding country views, has plenty of space for outdoor dining/living and can be accessed from one of the living rooms and the kitchen.

On the technical side, the property benefits from heating via a heat pump system as well as from two fireplaces, each fitted with a wood-burning stove, and electric heating.

There is also a hybrid system for the hot water - solar and electric.

In addition to this there is an air-circulation system and there are electrically operated velux windows.

The vendor is open to negotiation for selling the property fully furnished (subject to conditions).

This large and very private property is in an excellent location, within walking distance of a beautiful town (with all amenities: shops, restaurants, schools, train station, hospital etc. ) made popular by its thermal springs and spas. Jonzac is also just one hour to Bordeaux by train and Bordeaux-Merignac airport is about an hour by car.
