Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Écuras, France

A35548NJH16 - A lovely property located in a quiet hamlet in the commune of Ecuras on the Charente/ Dordogne border.

The property includes a 4/5 bed habitable detached house, attached barn, non-attached workshop and woodstore and attached garden.

The beautifully renovated and tastefully decorated house comprises, on the ground floor:
• Living room (25m²) with large stone chimney with wood burner, lovely wooden floor and large windows.
• Salon/ second living room (25m²) with small chimney and wood burner, wooden floor and wood half panelling
• Kitchen/ diner (32m²) also with wood burner. French doors to rear garden and to the front, beautiful tiled floor, exposed beams, fitted units and central island workstation.
• Utility room (7m²) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls and plumbing for washing machine and dryer.
• Shower room (6m2) with walk-in shower, hand basin and lavatory.

A lovely wooden staircase from the living room leads to a light & airy landing running the length of the house with exposed beams, wooden floor and stone wall detail. Off the landing, there is access to
• Three bedrooms (10.5m², 12.5m² and 15m²) all with lovely original wooden floors and large windows.
• Family bathroom (5m²) with high-quality shower, hand basin and lavatory.
• Master bedroom (40m²), an impressive room with lots of light, exposed beams, wooden floor and stone wall, with its own sitting area and ensuite bathroom, with bath, hand basin and lavatory.

From the landing, a further staircase leads to an open plan space (50m² floor space) which is boarded out and has Velux windows. Although there is reduced head height in very few places due to the exposed beams, this could make a wonderful fifth bedroom/ parental suite.

The house is in good structural condition with no leaks and an insulated roof that is also in good condition. Almost all the windows are double-glazed. Heating is by wood burners and electric radiators while there is an electric hot water heater.

Outside, there is a large attached two-storey barn (130m²) with garage and workshop space, as well as a separate small workshop (17m²) and a woodstore.. There is also a cellar/ cave (37m²) under the salon/ second living room.

There is a gently sloping garden to the rear of the property, currently laid to lawn with some mature trees and with a circular above ground pool. There is plenty of space for private al fresco dining here, and beautiful far-reaching views over the countryside. There is also a covered terrace (52m²) that is also ideal for summer al fresco dning/ bbq.

At the front of the property there is a gated entrance with gravel driveway and ample private parking space.

This charming, attractive and beautifully-renovated property with plenty of kerb-appeal would make a wonderful holiday house or a spacious permanent family home.
