Property description

House

Ground floor

The front door opens directly into a huge L-shaped open-plan main reception room (sitting / dining areas - about 75 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, attractive flat and herringbone patterned brickwork to the walls, a large limestone open fireplace and glazed patio doors to the rear terrace and the pool beyond.

To the rear of the room, and open-plan with it, is a space (9 sq m) which would make an great office / study area.

To the right of the living room a door opens to a large kitchen (19 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, built-in barbeque and a range of units.

To the rear of the main reception room a door opens to a second reception room (32 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and the same type of brickwork decoration as the main reception room.

Another door from the main reception room opens to a corridor, off which is a large utility room / second kitchen (13 sq m) as well as a useful storage area. To the end of the corridor a door opens to the large double garage (46 sq m), to the rear of which is a wine cellar.

Doors from the office / study area open to a shower room (shower, wash-basin and separate WC) and to the filter/pump room for the swimming pool.

First floor

A large wooden staircase rises from the main reception room to a galleried first floor landing. Off the landing is the master bedroom (16 sq m) with wooden floor and ensuite shower room (shower and wash-basin). Also off the landing is a separate WC.

A second staircase rises from the second reception room to a small landing, off which are two bedrooms (16 sq m and 12 sq m). From one of the bedrooms another staircase rises to an attic room (converted but with very limited head-height).

Exterior

The property is set a little back from a main road into Ruffec, on a plot of 1680 sq m. To the front of the house is a large paved parking / turning area which has been beautifully done and which is bordered by an attractive colonnade.

To the rear of the house is a large covered terrace which in turn leads to the pool. The pool itself is of unusual design with a shallow "beach" area, wide steps and the main pool itself. Beyond the pool the garden is laid to lawn and is well stocked with mature trees, shrub and palms. To the rear of the garden is the detached garage.

This is a spacious house, full of character, with a very attractive garden. It benefits from double-glazing, gas-fired central heating and mains drainage. The local supermarket is just a couple of minutes' walk and the centre of town is a short drive (or about 10 minutes on foot).
