Description
The property is approached through electric gates that open into a wide courtyard with ample parking, including room for a camper van. The main house has been restored throughout and retains a wealth of original features such as exposed beams, fireplaces and the former village baker’s oven. The layout is practical and inviting, with well proportioned rooms and good natural light.
Inside, the solid oak double doors lead into a spacious entrance hall with restored tomette tiles and a cloakroom. The kitchen is a large, sociable room fitted with modern units and a dining area centred around a wood burning stove. A door opens directly to the patio and garden, and a separate utility room provides space for laundry appliances and an additional fridge.
The living room is a warm and comfortable space with wooden flooring, a wood burner and views over the front courtyard. From here, a private staircase rises to a double bedroom with its own shower room, ideal for guests.
The principal staircase leads to the main bedroom suite on the first floor. This generous room has windows on two sides, a dedicated dressing area and a spacious bathroom with bath, shower, WC and double basins. The top floor offers three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The outbuildings add significant appeal. A large barn of around one hundred square metres provides extensive storage, while a separate reception or games room offers a superb year round entertaining space. There is also a wood store with the original bread oven and a small former piggery now used for chickens.
The gardens are laid to lawn with mature trees and shrubs, creating a peaceful setting with plenty of shade in summer. An above ground pool provides a welcome place to cool off, and the courtyard includes a well and a walled vegetable garden.
Modern comforts include double glazing, fibre internet and a water softener. The property is connected to an individual drainage system.
This is a charming and versatile home with excellent space both inside and out, well located for local amenities and the wider Charente region.
