This large and charming, stone property with walled courtyard garden, is a haven of peace and tranquillity in the centre of a village with a bakery and grand, gothic, 15th century Chteau, just 10 minutes from Rouiilac and 15 from Jarnac. On the ground floor the large kitchen dining area, which opens on to the south-west facing garden, leads through to the cosy, double aspect, living room (also overlooking the garden) with wood-burning stove, and, from its rear to the workshop and storage area, which also serves as a back kitchen. From here, one can access the laundry room, downstairs bedroom, shower, garage and an additional small courtyard, very useful for drying clothes. There are two staircases, offering the possibility of splitting an already very large property into two, for the purposes of additional income through gite rental (subject to necessary permissions). The first takes you from the living room to a landing from which there is access to two more bedrooms, one of which has more stairs leading to a mezzanine area currently used for storage, a walk-in wardrobe, bathroom and WC. From this landing, there is a doorway to the most spectacular of rooms with stone walls and vast, vaulted ceiling, perfect for entertaining on those long, hot summer evenings. To the rear of this room is another landing, leading to the fourth bedroom and the second staircase, bringing you down into the rear of the property. The courtyard garden is a delight, laid to gravel with shrubs, trees and planted borders and, with high walls and large gated entrance, extremely private. This property is ready to move in and, with its light and airy rooms and welcoming, almost labyrinthine, ambience could easily become a splendid permanent residence but would equally make the perfect holiday home for a large family seeking an accommodating base very close to all that is lovely about Charente.
