Beautiful Detached House, Heated Pool And Paddock. Arriving down the private drive lined with cherry trees you will find this well presented country home with 5 ensuite bedrooms. The property is just 10 minutes from Ruffec, and only 5 minutes from Verteuil-sur Charente. The house itself sits in a pretty little village surrounded by land and quiet lanes.

Inside the house large reception rooms offer wonderful space to entertain. The owner has retained the characterful features including exposed beams, stone walls, fire places and stone floors.

- Ground floor: Leading off the country kitchen, there is an annexe with mezzanine area which is currently used as an office, pantry and second kitchen. This could potentially be used as separate accommodation.

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.
