Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (10 sq m) with terracotta-tiled floor and expose beam ceiling. To the rear of the hall is a WC. TO the left of the hall a door opens to the kitchen / dining room (33 sq m) with terracotta-tiled floor, Charentaise fireplace, exposed stone wall, exposed beam ceiling and a fitted-kitchen area.

To the right of the hall a door opens to the sitting room (28 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling and a striking carved wood fireplace. From here a door opens to large hallway (14 sq m - currently used as an office space) with a part-glazed door opening onto a raised terrace with fine views. From this space a door opens to a room (14 sq m - also currently used as an office space) which in turn opens to a very large master bedroom (29 sq m) with wooden floor and another large carved wood fireplace. To one side of the bedroom a door opens to an ensuite shower room (shower, twin wash basins and WC).

First floor

A wooden staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor landing, off which are two large bedrooms (28 sq m and 25 sq m) as well as a bathroom (bath and wash basin).

Cellar

A flight of steps descend from the first office space to a large cellar, off which are a laundry room and a store room. A door from the cellar opens to the garden.

Guest cottage and garage

Facing the house on the far side of a lawn is a detached outbuilding that has been converted to provide guest accommodation. On the ground floor is a living room (33 sq m) and on the first floor are two rooms (12 sq m and 7.5 sq m) as well as a shower room and a separate WC. One part of this outbuilding provides garage space.

Gardens

The house sits on a plot of 9110 sq m. To the front of the house is a formal area of lawn and to the rear of the guest cottage is the pool (10m x 5m). The rest of the land is left to meadow with areas of woodland. There is also an attractive area with a spring shaded by willow trees.

This is a very charming house which retains many authentic features. Located on the edge of a small hamlet, within walking distance of the Cognac golf course, it is in a great location, only a short drive from the historic towns of Cognac and Jarnac.
