Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens into and entrance lobby with polished stone floor which in turn opens into a very attractive open-plan living room. The L-shaped sitting / dining area (50 sq m) has a wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone walls and a traditional limestone Charentaise fireplace.

The dining area is open to the kitchen (20 sq m) with a stone floor and a luxury fitted kitchen with granite work surfaces. To the rear of the kitchen a door opens to a good-size store/utility room with tiled floor.

To the side of the dining area a door opens to a bedroom (11 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling, glazed door to the garden. Off the bedroom is a large ensuite bathroom (bath, shower, wash-basin and WC) with tiled floor and exposed stone walls.

To the side of the dining area a door opens to a large room (about 32 sq m) with tiled floor, glazed doors to the front and a mezzanine level. This room is currently used as an artist's studio but could equally make a large master bedroom with the potential fo an ensuite and dressing room.

First floor

A wooden staircase rises from the entrance area to the first floor bedroom (about 31 sq m) with wooden floor and exposed stone wall. To the rear of the bedroom a doorway leads through to an ensuite bathroom (bath, wash-basin, WC and bidet).

Attached to the house (and formerly accessed from it) is a room (20 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and a limestone Charentaise fireplace. Off this room is a shower room (shower and WC). It would be a relatively simple task to re-incorporate this room back into the main house to create another bedroom or reception room.

Gîte

Attached to the house and accessed via the garden is a charming gîte. On the ground floor there is a living room (24 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone walls, exposed beam ceiling, fireplace and kitchen area. On the first floor is a bedroom with ensuite shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC).

Exterior

To the rear of the house is a paved patio area with barbeque - ideal for outdoor entertaining. To the side of the house is a very pretty outbuilding (26 sq m) with wooden floor, exposed beam ceiling and a limestone Charentaise fireplace. To the side of this building is covered terrace (great for entertaining) next to which is the swimming pool. From here there are fine views over the countryside.

The property sits on a plot of 5075 sq m. The garden around the house is mainly left ot lawn with a number of mature trees and flower borders. Beyond this the garden descends to an attractive wooded area. Between the two is a large pond.

This is a very pretty property in an attractive location - it would make a great home with independent accommodation for family or friends or, alternatively, income potential.
