Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens into a large, bright entrance hall (17 sq m) with tiled floor and exposed beam ceiling. To the left a door opens into a very attractive south-facing sitting room (28 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls, exposed beam ceiling and a traditional stone charentaise fireplace (with wood-burning stove).

To the rear of the entrance hall a pair of glazed doors open into a large kitchen (about 20 sq m) with tiled floor and fitted units. A large window looks out over the garden and to the church tower beyond. To the right of the kitchen a door opens into the dining room (21 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and exposed stone walls. From here a set of glazed doors open out to the garden. To the far side of the dining room a door opens to the utility / boiler room (9 sq m). To the side of the dining room a door opens to a room currently used as a study (8 sq m).

To the right of the entrance hall a door opens to an internal hallway with stairs to the first floor plus a door to a bathroom with WC. A door from this hall opens to a corridor (which also has access to the study) which leads to a room (18 sq m - currently used as a games room) with tiled floor, exposed stone wall and exposed beam ceiling.

First floor

At the top of the stairs is a landing, off which are the four bedrooms (two ensuite). The master bedroom (37 sq m) has exposed stone walls and includes and ensuite shower room. To the left of the landing a corridor runs the length of the house, off which are the remaining three bedrooms (15 sq m, 12 sq m and 11 sq m), the largest of which has an ensuite shower room with WC. Also off the landing is a further shower room (shower, double washbasins and WC).

Garden

The house sits on a plot of 3300 sq m. To the front is a gravel drive and parking area, a lawned and some flower borders. To the rear a paved terraced leads on to a gravel area which in turn leads onto the lawn with a number of mature trees. There is also the possibility that the side garden could be a building plot for a sparate dwelling (relevant permissions allowing).

This is an attractive house in good condition on the edge of a village only 10km from the popular riverside market town of Jarnac. The TGV and airport at Angoulême are only about 35km and the airports at La Rochelle, Bordeaux and Poitiers are all less than 2 hours' drive.
