Set on the edge of a small hamlet just a 15 minute drive from the historic town of Cognac, this stunning barn conversion provides very substantial living accommodation, a heated pool, substantial outbuildings and plenty of land.
The main house is set over two floors. A large entrance hall opens to a huge open-plan kitchen dining room with a wall of floor-to-ceiling glazed doors overlooking the south-facing garden and the vines beyond. Off this room is an equally large living room. The ground floor is completed by a games room / bar, two large ensuite double bedrooms and a laundry room.
An impressive bespoke staircase rises from the entrance hall to a large mezzazine (plenty of space for a home office and library). A corridor provides access to three more bedrooms (the master suite having a dressing room, a shower room and access to a roof terrace overlooking the garden). In addition to this there is a family bathroom.
The level garden is mainly left to lawn and enjoys far-reaching views. To one side is a walled garden that houses the heated swimming pool. Beyond this is a two-bedroom mobile home.
The property also comes with substantial outbuildings with the possibility of conversion (subject to necessary permissions).
The house benefits from double-glazing and underfloor heating.
The two ground floor bedrooms can be completely independent of the main house, with possible potential as a gite business (subject to the necessary permissions).
Just a short drive from Cognac and only an hour from Royan and the Atlantic coast, this large property is in a great location and offers income potential if desired.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £20,628 more.
