Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Verdille, France

Swing open the period gates, crunch your way along the gravel driveway, then take a moment to admire this elegant Maison de Maître in all its splendour.

Nestled in a sought-after location close to Verdille and just a hop, skip and a jump from the charming market town of Aigre, this spacious five-bedroom family home immediately draws you in with its effortless liveability and the many opportunities it offers to enjoy everything a French summer has to offer.

Beyond the principal accommodation, comprising those five bedrooms, a welcoming dining hall, a generous kitchen/breakfast room and a charming drawing room with two windows overlooking the garden, the property also boasts a substantial attached barn with exciting potential for conversion into additional living space, guest accommodation or independent gîtes (subject to the necessary permissions).

A magnificent open-fronted barn has already been transformed into an exceptional covered entertaining area - the perfect place to while away long lunches and leisurely dinners, or simply escape the midday sun between refreshing dips in the 9 × 4 metre swimming pool.

Beyond, at the foot of the generous garden, a second barn is already well on its way to becoming something rather special.
Power, water and drainage are already in place, requiring only connection to the fosse septique.
Whether you envisage further accommodation, another gîte, a spectacular summer kitchen or simply the finest outdoor entertaining space imaginable, the choice is yours.
For now, it serves as an atmospheric games room with plentiful storage.

Whether you picture yourself enjoying long, leisurely lunches beneath the shade of the covered barn, cooling off with a swim on a hot summer's afternoon, or creating additional accommodation for family, friends or paying guests, this is a home that offers not just generous living space, but a lifestyle that is quintessentially Charentaise.
