Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (12 sq m) with terracotta tiled floor, exposed stone walls and exposed beam ceiling. To the right a door opens to the kitchen (27 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone wall, a range of fitted units, a wood-burning stove and a glazed door to the garden.

To the left of the entrance hall a door opens to the living room (30 sq m) with exposed stone wall and a pair of south-facing windows. To the rear of the living room a door opens to a corridor which provides access to further ground floor living accommodation. First there is a room (12 sq m - currently used as an office but equally useful as bedroom) with tiled floor and a glazed door to the garden. Next are a shower room (shower and washbasin) and a separate WC. Then comes a bedroom (13 sq m with tiled floor).

To the end of the corridor a door opens to a room (17 sq m - possible bedroom if required) with tiled floor and a pair of sliding glazed doors to the garden. Off this room is a utility room which houses gas-fired central heating boiler. It may be possible to turn this room into an ensuite bathroom for the adjoining room.

First floor

The wooden staircase to the rear of the entrance hall rises to the first floor landing. To the left a door opens to a large bedroom (28 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling and a fireplace. To the right a door opens to another large bedroom (20 sq m) with wooden floor. Also off the landing is a room (7 sq m) which has been plumbed for use as a shower room (installation of bathroom suite to finish). To the far right of the landing is a large storage area.

Barn

Opposite the house is an attractive stone barn (about 90 sq m) which is divided into two spaces. There is a useful wine cellar in one of them.

Garden

The property sits on a plot of 1140 sq m (just over a quarter of an acre). To the front of the house is a gravelled area and the rest of the garden is left to lawn with a number of trees and shrubs. To the side of the house is a covered dining area (ideally place next to the kitchen). There are a couple of smaller stone outbuildings providing garden storage and there is a very attractive well.

This house is a rare find in a sought-after location just minutes' from the historic town of Cognac and the golf course. The house benefits from double-glazing and under-floor heating. There is some finishing-off to be done but this is mainly simple decoration.
