Description

This very large, stone-built, village house is bright and airy throughout, and just a 10-minute drive from the heart of historic Cognac, with all its amenities. Until recently it has been run as a Chambre d Hotes, but with its 5 bedrooms, pretty central courtyard and expansive, garage area, it could just as easily become home for a big family. The front door opens into the entrance hall with its wooden staircase and storage area beneath.

This very large, stone-built, village house is bright and airy throughout, and just a 10-minute drive from the heart of historic Cognac, with all its amenities. Until recently it has been run as a Chambre d Hotes, but with its 5 bedrooms, pretty central courtyard and expansive, garage area, it could just as easily become home for a big family. The front door opens into the entrance hall with its wooden staircase and storage area beneath.

To the right is the spacious dining area and to the left, the comfortable living room with grand open fireplace. Passing through this room brings you to the spectacular kitchen dining space which is, as ever, the heart of the home. Another door from the kitchen leads out into the very pretty courtyard area.

From the living room, one can also access the laundry and boiler room, with a separate utility area. The main, central staircase brings you on to a half landing from which one can access two bedrooms and a shower room, and another landing and hallway leading to three more bedrooms, a dressing room, a shower and two separate WCs. Directly across the courtyard from the back of the house is the enormous garage area, which could be partitioned in such a way that it may be used for yet more accommodation, subject to the relevant permissions.

A door from the rear of the garage leads back to the house via a spacious dining room/conservatory. This has its own kitchen, a shower and disabled access WC, and the whole area could very easily be reconfigured to provide a separate, self-contained apartment (subject to necessary permissions). For added convenience, there is also a door connecting this space to the kitchen in the main house. The property is arranged round the gated courtyard, which despite being in the centre of the village feels very private and calm, offering some much-needed shade during the long, hot afternoons. This property really has a lot to offer in terms of space and potential, and set in the heart of a peaceful Charentais village, yet so close to vibrant Cognac, it is unlikely to be available for long. Please note that sale cannot complete before February 2026. Price including agency fees : 434 600 Price excluding agency fees : 410 000 Buyer commission, tax included: 6%

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 £18,531 more.
