Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to an entrance hall (10 sq m) with tiled floor. This in turn opens to the large sitting room (36 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls, exposed beam ceiling, limestone Charentaise fireplace, a "potager" and a glazed door to the garden.

From the sitting room a couple of steps lead down to the dining room (34 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls and a pair of glazed sliding doors that open to the garden. To the left of the dining room is the semi-open plan kitchen (17 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls and exposed beam ceiling.

Also off the dining room is the utility room (about 9 sq m) with plumbing for a washing machine. There is a ground floor WC just off the entrance hall.

First floor

A wooden staircase rises from one corner of the dining room to the first floor mezzanine (24 sq m - overlooking the dining room) This space has exposed stone walls and exposed beam ceiling and is currently used as office / library space.

To the right a door opens to a large bedroom (18 sq m) with a walk-in wardrobe. To the left a short hallway provides access to the family bathroom (12 sq m - freestanding bath, shower, wash basin and WC) and two more bedrooms (13 sq m and 10 sq m). The largest of these has as ensuite bathroom (bath, double wash basin unit and WC).

Outbuildings

Attached to the house is a barn (about 32 sq m) which could be incorporated into the habitable accommodation (subject to any relevant permissions). There is also a smaller, detached outbuilding in the garden.

Garden

The house sits on a plot of 5548 sq m, with another plot of 1054 sq m just over the lane. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a number of fruit trees and some woodland. To the front of the house is a paved area which leads to a substantial covered terrace with wonderful countryside views - a great entertaining area. The plot over the lane is again mainly laid to lawn with gravel paths and a vegetable garden. Again, there are great country views from here - a perfect area to watch the sun go down. The current owner is in the process of building a garden store.

Set on a quiet lane that ends in the small hamlet (i.e. no through traffic), this stone house could make a wonderful holiday or permanent home - the attractive town of Châteauneuf-sur-Charente, which has most major amenities, is just 3.5km away.
