Description

This very large, stone-built, village house is bright and airy throughout, and just a 10-minute drive from the heart of historic Cognac and under 20 from beautiful Saintes. Until recently it has been run as a Chambre d’Hotes, but with its 5 bedrooms, pretty central courtyard and expansive, garage area, it could just as easily become home for a big family.

The front door opens into the entrance hall with its wooden staircase and storage area beneath. To the right is the spacious dining area and to the left, the comfortable living room with grand open fireplace. Passing through this room brings you to the spectacular kitchen dining space which is, as ever, the heart of the home. Another door from the kitchen leads out into the very pretty courtyard area. From the living room, one can also access the laundry and boiler room, with a separate utility area.

The main, central staircase brings you on to a half landing from which one can access two bedrooms and a shower room, and another landing and hallway leading to three more bedrooms, a dressing room, a shower and two separate WCs.

Directly across the courtyard from the back of the house is the enormous garage area, which could be partitioned in such a way that it may be used for yet more accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions. A door from the rear of the garage leads back to the house via a spacious dining room/conservatory. This has its own kitchen, a shower and disabled access WC, and the whole area could very easily be reconfigured to provide a separate, self-contained apartment (subject to necessary permissions). For added convenience, there is also a door connecting this space to the kitchen in the main house.

The property is arranged round the gated courtyard, which despite being in the centre of the village feels very private and calm, offering some much-needed shade during the long, hot afternoons.

This property really has a lot to offer in terms of space and potential, and set in the heart of a peaceful Charentais village, yet so close to vibrant Cognac, it is unlikely to be available for long.



Please note that sale cannot complete before February 2026.

About Beaux Villages Immobilier, Gironde

3 Rue Robert Descorne, 33580 Monségur

Beaux Villages Immobilier specialises in property for sale in southern France. We pride ourselves on treating everyone – whether looking to purchase or sell a property – as an important individual, not a financial opportunity.

We all live and work in southern France and as buyers ourselves, we remember what it was like to take that leap of faith and trust an agent we didn't really know. We go the extra mile to take the stress out of buying a property whether your budget is €100k or €100 million.

France is the top destination of choice for property buyers in Europe. A stable property market, low crime, long life expectancy, low population density, diverse culture and world famous health, education and transport systems are frequently quoted. This has been our own personal happy experience.

Based in southern France, we are the first port of call for thousands of people each year who are looking to buy a home here.

Covering the entire southern half of France from the Atlantic coast across to the Mediterranean and the alps, our patch includes some of the prettiest villages and towns and most beautiful countryside and coast in the whole of France.

We have the know-how you need

Beaux Villages Immobilier is an estate agency with unbeatable local and legal knowledge; we are here to help every step of the way. Our central ethos is a complete respect for the life-changing events involved in buying or selling a property. So, if you have questions or need advice, fire away.

At every stage of the process from initial enquiry to the day of completion and beyond you will have a named contact in the company. Our expert sales team and dedicated, office-based administrative and legal professionals will be available at all times to take your call.

The company

Beaux Villages Immobilier was founded at the start of the financial crisis in early 2008 by Lynn Longley. These beginnings, in Monségur, (Gironde) were soon followed by offices in Verteillac and Lalinde (Dordogne). Now we are also well established with teams of property professionals working across the whole of southern France.

Since these early beginnings the team has grown to include several nationalities speaking a dozen languages and incorporating different cultures. Our common denominator is a love of the area that we have chosen to live and work in, and a desire to share that.

Now, post Brexit, we expect to open more offices and cover more areas.
