A Beautifully Renovated Charentaise Farmhouse in an Exceptional Setting

Situated in a peaceful rural location just two minutes from Blanzac (16250), this beautifully renovated and exceptionally well-presented Charentaise farmhouse offers a wonderful combination of timeless character, modern comfort and remarkable versatility.

The property has undergone extensive renovation and is now presented in superb condition – quite simply, a home that is ready to move into and enjoy. Double glazing, underfloor heating in the kitchen and highly efficient modern electric heating, which can be controlled remotely, ensure comfort throughout the year.

Original features abound, and great care has been taken to preserve the character and charm of this wonderful country house. Beautiful architectural details have been retained wherever possible, creating a home with genuine personality and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The House

The ground floor offers an exceptionally flexible arrangement of living and entertaining spaces.

A large and beautifully appointed family dining kitchen provides the heart of the home, complemented by a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove. There is also a ground-floor double bedroom with a shower room conveniently situated next door.

A further reception room, currently used as a sitting room, could equally be used as a formal dining room, study or additional living space. At the opposite end of the house is a fully equipped summer kitchen with its own shower room – an especially practical addition for enjoying the pool and terrace during the warmer months.

Three steps lead up into the gym area, with direct access to the pool and terrace. From the gym, stairs lead to a further room currently used as a storeroom. With relatively little work, this could readily become a fifth bedroom, home office, studio or guest room, adding even greater flexibility to the accommodation.

The main staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three exceptionally spacious double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom with a beautiful slipper bath.

Importantly, there are no headroom issues upstairs. Unlike many traditional farmhouse properties, where low beams can sometimes restrict the usable space, this house benefits from excellent ceiling height throughout the first floor.

Outside

The exterior of this property is every bit as impressive as the interior.

A large courtyard provides ample parking and leads to a very substantial secure barn, a further open barn currently used as a wood store, and a single garage. There is excellent storage and outbuilding space, making the property particularly appealing to those looking for room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies or future projects.

The pool area is a true highlight. Spacious and beautifully positioned, it enjoys stunning, uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. The slightly elevated position of the property creates a wonderful outlook and a real sense of space and tranquillity.

The pool was installed by a reputable local company and is professionally serviced annually by the same installer. It benefits from a pool heater, if required, together with an electric roller cover providing excellent security.

The mature gardens also offer some delightful features. At the far end are a number of old pigsties which could offer further potential uses, perhaps potting sheds? A magnificent mature fig tree produces an abundance of fruit each year, while the generous grapevine growing along the outer wall provides another plentiful harvest.

A large rainwater recuperation tank is an extremely useful feature, providing an excellent reserve of water which can also be used to top up the pool.

Location

Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the property is remarkably convenient for local amenities, being just a couple of minutes from Blanzac. The principal town of the Charente, Angoulême, is approximately 25 minutes by car, providing a wide range of shops, restaurants, schools and services.

There is a local bus service in Blanzac and the nearest train station is at Montmoreau.
In Summary

This is a truly exceptional Charentaise property: beautifully renovated, full of original character, exceptionally spacious and wonderfully versatile. The combination of superb accommodation, excellent outbuildings, magnificent pool and terrace, outstanding countryside views and easy access to local amenities makes this a very special home.

Whether as a permanent residence, family home or superb country retreat, this property offers an enviable lifestyle in a beautiful and peaceful setting.

A must-see property – and one that is sure to impress.

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.
