Description

A46614ET16 - Set in the rolling countryside of the Charente, this elegant early 19th-century French country home enjoys a peaceful and private setting, with neighbouring properties comfortably positioned at a distance.

Offering approximately 308 m² of living space, the house combines generous proportions with authentic period character and a welcoming atmosphere.

The ground floor offers a well-equipped kitchen, dining room and an impressive double-height sitting room with exposed beams and a wood-burning stove. A bright 28 m² winter garden provides a lovely additional living space and creates a natural connection between the house and the gardens.

A 32 m² room with a fireplace with a wood-burning insert is currently used as an office and could easily be converted into a ground-floor bedroom suite, providing flexibility for family living or guests.

Upstairs, a mezzanine overlooks the sitting room and could be used as a study, library or relaxing reading area. Four bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with dressing room, are complemented by a family bathroom and shower room.

Outside, the approximately 3,900 m² of mature grounds provide space, privacy and a wonderful setting in which to enjoy the French countryside. Several terraces, fruit trees, a traditional and functional bread oven, stone barbecue, well and above-ground swimming pool add to the property's charm and outdoor appeal.

The property also benefits from approximately 174 m² of outbuildings, offering valuable additional space for storage, a workshop, creative activities or future projects, subject to the necessary permissions.

For modern comfort, the house has an efficient hybrid heating system, double glazing and fibre-optic internet.

Despite its peaceful rural setting, the property is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Châteauneuf-sur-Charente and from Barbezieux, with their shops and everyday amenities. Cognac and Angoulême are accessible within 30 minutes and Bordeaux and its international airport are approximately 1 hour 15 minutes away.

A characterful French country home offering an appealing combination of history, generous living space, privacy and relaxed rural living — while remaining within easy reach of amenities and Bordeaux.

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.
