Property description

The house is approached via a long private drive that skirts the edge of the property and leads to a large gateway opening into the courtyard.

House

Ground floor

The front door opens into a huge reception room (61 sq m) with terracotta tiled floor, exposed beams and an exposed stone wall. This room can be divided into two rooms by closing some built-in sliding doors. Currently this room is divided into a large entrance hall (with home office) and a dining area with glazed doors to a rear patio.

To the left of the dining area a door opens into the kitchen (32 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone wall and fitted units. To the rear of the kitchen a doorway opens into a utility area with WC. From here a door opens into the garage. There is also a door from the kitchen to the rear patio.

To the right of the dining area a dressed stone archway opens into a reception room (26 sq m) with wooden floor which in turn opens into a further large reception room (54 sq m) with fireplace and three pairs of glazed doors opening onto the rear patio.

First floor

A wooden staircase rises from the main entrance area to a first floor landing, off which are four bedrooms (17 sq m, 17 sq m, 14 sq m and 9 sq m). The first bedroom has glazed doors that open onto a private south-east facing balcony with exceptional views over the garden and the vineyards and woodland beyond. There is a very large family bathroom (16 sq m) with bath, shower and two washbasins. There are also a separate WC and a smaller bathroom (bath and washbasin).

Garden

There is a courtyard to the north side of the house and a terrace leading to the garden to the south side. The garden has lawns, mature trees and shrubs as well as a large swimming pool (12m x 6m). To the side of the pool is the pool house with kitchen area, seating area, WC and shower. To the side of the house, and approached via some steps from the pool area is another section of garden, laid to lawn and bordered by a row of pine trees.

Outbuildings

Forming the north boundary of the courtyard to the rear of the house is a large barn and attached to the house is a double garage. There is a cellar below the terrace, housing the pump and filter equipment for the pool.

The house was recently re-roofed. This is a large house with great living space - set in the countryside and not on a road - only a short drive from Cognac. The nearest village (a couple of kilometres) has a boulangerie.
