Summary

This stone house looks into its own courtyard and has been sympathetically renovated by its current owners. With a large garden and outbuildings it is a lovely family home.

Property description

The house is approached through a porched entrance (with electric gates) which opens into the courtyard and garden.

Ground Floor

The front door opens into a large entrance hall (13m2) with tiled floor - this has doors to the kitchen and dining room plus a lovely elm staircase rising to the upper floors.

On the left of the hall is the door to the kitchen - this south-facing room (26m2) has a tiled floor, fireplace, two windows looking into the garden, space for a dining table and a fully fitted kitchen (range of cupboards plus oven, hob and dishwasher).

To the right of the entrance hall is the dining room (29m2), again with tiled floor and two south-facing wndows.

From here there are a couple of steps that lead up through an archway into the large (40m2) sitting room - this has glazed doors out to the garden and a mezzanine.

At the front of this room is a door into a huge family bathroom (26m2) with bath, shower and washbasins.

At the rear of the sitting room a door opens into a hall (10m2) where there is the downstairs cloakroom (wc and basin) and a staircase - this leads up to a large landing and a 27m2 bedroom that would also be great as an office.

The sitting room, bathroom, and bedroom at this end of the house could easily be converted into separate guest accommodation.

First Floor

The stairs in the entrance hall lead up to a 10m2 landing with a wooden floor. On one side is a door to the master bedroom (31m2), again with a wooden floor. This has a separate cloakroom (with wc and wash basin) and it would be possible to create an ensuite bathroom as the room has three windows.

On the other side of the landing a door opens into a 22m2 bedroom with wooden floor.

Second Floor

On the second floor there is a landing (13m2) plus two more bedrooms (31m2 and 32m2) all with wooden floors.

Outside

In front of the house is a lawn and a gravelled parking area that leads to a large four car garage. There are also several smaller outbuildings including a log store, workshop, laundry room and boiler room.

Off to one side is the garden - this is laid mainly to lawn with a range of matures shrubs and trees. There is a double gate at the end of the garden to another lane in the village.

The house has mains gas-fired central heating (underfloor on the ground floor), double glazed windows, a well, a rain water collection tank and ample room for a swimming pool.

In the middle of a quiet village, the property is close to the towns of Rouillac and Jarnac and is only 20 minutes from Cognac and 25 minutes from Angouleme.
