Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Aigre, France

What a find. A lovely period townhouse in a sought-after location within a popular market town.

Just a level walk from the amenities of Aigre, yet tucked away and enjoying a surprisingly spacious garden. I would strongly encourage you to visit this charming home.

The current owners have already begun a programme of modernisation, including upgraded heating with the recent installation of a modern heat pump serving four reversible air-conditioning/heating units, together with improvements to the loft insulation. Importantly, they have retained all the charm and character of the property. Period fireplaces remain in place, as do the cornices and ceiling roses. The result is a house full of character and generous proportions, inviting its next owners to take it to the next level with care and sensitivity.
The staircase alone is worth the visit - a beautiful combination of wood and metal craftsmanship that would be prohibitively expensive to reproduce today.

On the ground floor, a welcoming tiled entrance hall leads to the two principal reception rooms. Both enjoy dual windows, allowing natural light to flood in. A small kitchen leads through to a large and practical rear corridor/store room, together with a shower room and separate WC. There is also a garage with loft storage above, ideal for all the practical essentials.

Upstairs are three bedrooms - two large doubles and one single - one of which benefits from an en-suite cloakroom.

On the second floor are two large attic rooms with potential for conversion into additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents, although part of each room has reduced head height.

Outside, the charming garden leads down to a small stream at the bottom of the plot - a lovely place to relax and enjoy the Charente sunshine. Finally, a small building with independent access from the road could, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions, be converted into further accommodation or independent space.

All in all, a rare opportunity - excellent location, wonderful atmosphere, and ready for a new owner to make it their own.
