PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

A charming authentic Charentaise stone built house, with second house to finish renovating and huge barn in the heart of a pretty Charentaise village. Full to the brim with character, with all period features kept, yet fully renovated and ready to move in.

Two minutes walk from the local baker, store and bar, this delightful property is also only a few kms to the popular market town of Mansle with facilities and amenities, plus outdoor market.

The property comprises:

Main residence: Renovated with care and attention, this is a four bedroom stone house with two bathrooms, kitchen/dining room and salon, making up a total of 120 sqm. of living space.

Beautiful rooms of the era with exposed stonework, beams, wooden floors, wonderful turned wooden staircase and fireplaces.

'Maison à balet': A feature of the region around Angouleme, is this particular style of house with outside stone staircase leading to a covered terrace.

This house is attached to the main home and could either be developed separately or could be used to extend the main accommodation. Huge wooden doors lead inside. 51 sq m on the ground, this second stone house has plenty of room to put in a first floor, thereby offering 102 sq m of possible living space. Two massive original Charentaise stone fireplaces, one with log burner, a mezzanine and electricity are already in place. Huge wooden beams. Velux skylight and double glazing on the windows facing the covered terrace.

Barn: Attached stone barn of some 50 sq m currently used as a garage also offers the potential for further expansion. Again, this has more than sufficient height to put in a first floor to double the available area or could be used as a vast summer kitchen with dining area

Outside: An enclosed south facing private garden of 250 sq m full of flowers and mature climbers

Double glazing in the main house and ADSL broadband: plumbing and electricity were redone 5 years ago.

This is a thoroughly enchanting property, ready to move in yet offering scope for expansion. If you love Charentaise stone and authentic French houses, then this could be for you.
