Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Chalais, France

Located near the center of Chalais, this character property offers generous living spaces, a large plot of land, and remarkable renovation potential. Dating back to 1749, the house sits on a rise within approximately 2.16 hectares of land. Its open and peaceful rural setting provides genuine privacy while offering easy access to the shops and services of Chalais. The house offers approximately 175 sq m of living space on the ground floor. An elegant spiral staircase immediately sets the tone upon entering. A spacious kitchen/dining room, a living room, a bedroom, and a shower room complete this level. Original fireplaces, exposed beams, terracotta floors, wood paneling, and large windows attest to the authentic character of the property. The first floor offers an additional 200 sq m of living space and currently comprises seven bedrooms and two bathrooms. Outside, the grounds alternate between open spaces, mature trees, and unobstructed views of the surrounding countryside. From the pool area, the view extends towards the historic heritage of Chalais. A swimming pool measuring approximately 4 x 8 meters, requiring complete renovation, completes this property. It also includes two outbuildings. These require restoration but offer significant additional potential for storage, a workshop, or any other project, subject to obtaining the necessary permits. The house is habitable in its current state, but its level of comfort is dated. A comprehensive renovation will need to include modernizing the plumbing, electrical system, heating, and windows and doors, as well as updating the interior spaces. However, the roofs of the main house and outbuildings have already been replaced, which is a significant advantage. This property is ideal for buyers who appreciate period homes and wish to breathe new life into an authentic place. Its size, land, outbuildings, and proximity to Chalais make it a wonderful opportunity to create a characterful primary or secondary residence.
