Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Verteuil-sur-Charente, France

A37599JMR16 - Nestled close to the picturesque centre of the highly sought-after village of Verteuil-sur-Charente, one of France's most beautiful villages, this superb, character property offers the perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort.

The property boasts a 3-bedroom main house, a guest cottage – ideal for hosting guests or for potentially generating rental income, front and private rear gardens and, a real bonus for a property in this historic village, an 8x4m in-ground swimming pool.

This beautiful character property is a very rare find, situated just a short walk from the river, château, shops, cafes, and weekly market of one of the Charente’s most beautiful villages, allowing you to enjoy French village life to the full with everything on your doorstep. Equally, the pretty market town of Ruffec, with its supermarkets, theatre, cinema and train station with connections to Paris and Bordeaux is just a 7 minute drive away too.

The property offers spacious living areas filled with natural light, double-glazing, mains-drainage, good insulation, a lovely covered terrace overlooking the private rear garden and pool area and off-street parking for at least 4 vehicles to the front. There is also a large rainwater collection reservoir for topping up the pool and for watering the garden, a garage and a workshop with the possibility of creating further living accommodation in the future too.

The guest cottage offers a great space for friends and family to stay and also the possibility of renting it out in the future. It is accessed via its own front door but there is also a handy access to the main house via the garage. The saltwater swimming pool with its surrounding terrace area is a real plus in this village location. Measuring 8x4m, the fibreglass pool is easy to maintain and has the added benefits of underwater lighting and a sliding, retractable cover which also serves to heat the pool and extends the swimming season significantly.
