Description

A45019REC16 - Nestled in a peaceful and green setting at the end of a quiet lane, this charming former farmhouse with its adjoining barn will appeal to lovers of nature and authenticity. Located just 2 kilometres from the centre of Chalais and all amenities, the property also benefits from footpaths directly accessible from the house.

Currently used as a holiday home, this traditional Charentaise property has already undergone important structural improvements, including a new roof and updated electrical installation, leaving future owners the opportunity to complete the renovation project according to their own taste and lifestyle.

The single-storey living accommodation currently offers approximately 80 sqm and comprises a cosy 28m² living room with fireplace and wood-burning stove, two bedrooms each approximately.14m², a 12m² kitchen with a door leading out into the garden and a 12m² utility room. The existing volumes still offer excellent potential for extension thanks to the beautiful adjoining barn and the attic above, allowing for the creation of substantial additional living space.

A real hidden gem is the additional 16 sqm room with its own discreet exterior access, which could easily be connected internally to the main house.

Outside, the garden provides a peaceful setting to fully enjoy the surrounding countryside and the charm of this unspoilt rural environment with views across the valley.

The property is fitted with single-glazed wooden windows, while the kitchen and bathroom facilities remain to be completed. Insulation and drainage works are also required, offering the perfect opportunity to create your own characterful Charentaise retreat.

Angoulême is 40 minutes by car and Bordeaux 1 hour 15 minutes away but the trains from the railway station at Chalais run between these two exciting cities making it easy to go and explore and enjoy a pleasant day trip.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
