Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens into the entrance hall (9 sq m) with tiled floor. The hall runs the depth of the house and to the rear has a door to the back garden. To the left of the entrance hall a door opens to the sitting room (20 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and a pair of French doors to a patio in the front courtyard garden.

From the sitting room a door opens to the kitchen / dining room (about 40 sq m). This room is divided into two areas by the stairwell. The dining area has a glazed door to the front courtyard garden and a traditional Charentaise fireplace with wood-burning stove. The kitchen area has a range of units and overlooks the rear garden. A corridor runs from the kitchen area back to the entrance hall. Off this corridor is the ground floor WC.

To the right of the entrance hall are two rooms: a laundry room (11 sq m) which also houses the oil-fired central heating boiler, and a store room (12 sq m).

First floor

A wooden staircase rises from the kitchen/dining room to the first floor landing (7 sq m), off which are a bedroom (14 sq m) and a bathroom (bath, washbasin). From the landing a corridor leads to two further bedrooms (16 sq m and 24 sq m). The largest bedroom has an ensuite shower room (shower, washbasin and WC) as well as a dressing room. Also off the corridor is a separate WC.

Outbuildings

To one side of the front courtyard garden is a garage and a barn (about 50 sq m). The barn has independent access to the lane as well access from the courtyard.

Gardens

To the front of the house is a delightful courtyard garden mainly laid to gravel with a small lawn, a patio, mature trees and shrubs. To the rear of the house is another walled garden - mainly laid to lawn with a vegetable garden and a number of trees.

This is a charming house in a charming village - large enough for use as a permanent residence yet equally ideal as a "lock-up and leave" holiday home.
