To the right of the entrance hall a door opens to the sitting room (22m2) with wooden floor, high exposed beam ceiling, stone Charentaise fireplace with wood-burning stove, widows to the the front garden and glazed French doors to the back garden.

To the left of the hall a door opens to a spacious kitchen / dining room (26m2) with tiled floor, high exposed beam ceiling, a kitchen area with wooden units including an island and plenty of space for a large dining table.

To the rear of the kitchen a door opens to a utility room with plenty of room for the fridge, freezer, washing machine and so on.

First floor

To the back of the entrance hall a wooden staircase rises to a large landing, off which are four bedrooms (20m2, 16.5m2, 16.5m2 and 11.5m2), each with wooden floors and one with a marble fireplace. The smaller bedroom has an ensuite bathroom (bath with shower, wash-basin and WC). Also of the landing is the family bathroom (bath with shower, wash-basin and WC).

Outbuildings

Attached to the back of the house is a good-size outbuilding - currently used for storing and chopping wood - it could be possible to extend the house into this barn (subject to any relevant planning permissions).

To one side of the front courtyard is a larger barn. Half of the barn is open-sided - creating a very useful covered space which could be used for parking or outside entertaining. The other half of the barn provides useful storage space.

Garden

The buildings sit on a plot of 2987m2. To the front of the house is a courtyard garden with a drive to the detached outbuilding. To the rear of the house is a delightful lightly wooded garden with lawn and trees running down to a stream. There is also a vegetable garden as well as an area currently used for keeping chickens.

This is a very attractive house in great decorative order on the edge of a small hamlet. The local village, with its boulangerie, is just 2km and the historic town of Cognac is a short drive (11km)
