Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (10 sq m) with tiled floor. To the left a door opens to the kitchen (16 sq m) with tiled floor and a range of fitted units. There is plenty of space in the kitchen for informal dining.

To the right of the hall a door opens to a spacious double-height living room (50 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beams, fireplace, three sets of glazed doors to the garden and a stone staircase to the first floor. To one side of the living room doors open to the ground floor bathroom (bath, wash basin and bidet) and a separate WC. Also off the living room is a bedroom (9 sq m) with glazed door to the garden.

To the rear of the kitchen a door opens to a large utility room with plumbing for a washing machine. To the rear of the utility room a door opens to a wine cellar and to the right a door opens to a good-size store room which also houses the central heating boiler. This room has a door opening to covered parking space.

First floor

The staircase rises from the living room to a galleried landing that runs around two sides of the room. Off the landing are two bedrooms (about 9 sq m each). The landing continues to a mezzanine sitting area (20 sq m). It may be possible to extend the habitable accommodation form here to the space above the utility / boiler rooms.

Guest house

Next to the house is the detached guest house. On the ground floor there is a spacious open-plan living space (25 sq m) with Charentaise fireplace, potager and a wonderful original stone floor. On the first floor is a large bedroom (18 sq m) with ensuite shower room (shower, wash basin and WC).

Exterior

The property sits on a plot of 3060 sq m. To the front of the house is a gravel parking area, a lawn and a terrace running along the front of the house (with barbeque area). The gravel drive continues to the covered parking area to the rear of the house. To the side of the house, beyond the gite, is the garden, mainly laid to lawn with some mature planting and specimen trees. To one side of this is the pool (10m x 5m) with retractable cover. Next to the pool, built into the gite, is a useful pool room with shower and WC. Beyond the pool is the tennis court.

Set on the edge of a small hamlet on the edge of a national forest, this property is in a great location - ideal for cycling, walking etc. - and is only 20km from the historic town of Angoulême.
