Description

If you love the countryside and homes with character, you will be charmed by this lovely stone house, nestled in a peaceful setting surrounded by fields, a truly delightful place to live. Located just 25 minutes south of Angoulême, the property offers 140 m² of living space set on a 2,100 m² plot.

The home is designed primarily for single-level living and has retained all its original charm, featuring exposed stone walls and warm, inviting living areas. A pleasant covered terrace at the entrance leads into the kitchen, which boasts a unique, standout feature: a double-sided open fireplace that connects the kitchen to the 34 m² living room. This charming layout links the two living spaces, creating an authentic and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

On the ground floor, a hallway leads to three well-proportioned bedrooms, a large bathroom, a separate toilet, and an additional area containing a shower room with a toilet. From the living room, a small mezzanine leads to a fourth, attic-style bedroom, a versatile space perfect for use as a guest room, home office, or hobby area.

The property also includes several outbuildings, which add significant value: a large, attached 125 m² barn, offering endless potential for conversion, storage, or other projects; a spacious open-sided shelter at the rear of the house, ideal for covered parking; and, in front of the house, some former pigsties or wood sheds, ripe for renovation and ready to be repurposed according to your vision and the property’s potential.

Outside, there is a lovely 2,100 m² plot of land, unfenced and featuring a magnificent well.

The house is equipped with an air-to-water heat pump installed in 2024 and holds a 'C' rating on its energy performance certificate (DPE), a great advantage that allows you to enjoy the charm of a period property while benefiting from a modern heating system.

This is a truly charming property, perfect for nature lovers seeking a country home with spacious interiors, outbuildings, and a pleasant setting, all while remaining within a reasonable distance of Angoulême.

The department of Charente is located in the centre-west of France and is part of the Poitou-Charentes region along with Deux Sèvres, Charente Maritime and the Vienne department.

Its name as is often the case comes from the river Charente which snakes through the department. Two local dialects are spoken in the area, Saintongeais in the west and Occitan to the east.

Charente is a thriving department for several reasons, Cognac production is one of the most interesting and profitable industries, the export level of approx. 95% is a success, the consumption in France being only 5% (some say they keep the best 5% in France!).

The department has many typical towns, Angouleme in the south east for example hosts an international festival that attracts hundreds of visitors and is not to be missed.

The region is popular with hikers, bikers and nature lovers who like to discover the woodlands, lakes and streams that are part of this amazing landscape.
