Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Cognac, France

A48231KIM16 - The interior would benefit from modernisation, offering an opportunity to introduce contemporary comfort while preserving the character of this historic home. The private garden, enclosed by walls and outbuildings, adds considerably to its appeal.

The outbuildings total approximately 748 m² and reflect the estate’s history of Pineau production. The outbuilding adjoining the house is used as a garage and contains a shower and WC which can be accessed through the house or gardens.

The remaining outbuildings would require renovation. Their substantial size offers considerable scope for workshops, storage or other future projects, subject to the necessary permissions.

Exterior:

The main house is hidden behind large wooden gates, which open up into a small courtyard at the front of the house with access to the garage on the left and a well. To the right is an area of lawn interspersed with trees and flowers, and flanked by the numerous outbuildings. The garden at the rear provides plenty of shade in the summer months.

At the front of the property is the former Laundry and Bakehouse, waiting for someone to unleash its potential. This is attached to an old fruit orchard, and to the left another plot of land planted with a few small trees. At the back of the orchard is another well. There are also 2 additional parking spaces.

The property is 10 minutes drive from the centre of Cognac and all of its amenities. Including cafes, restaurants, retail parks, schools, supermarkets and its hospital. The nearest pharmacy is 2km away in Ars.
