Description:

Formerly an old stone cottage with an attached barn, this property has been lovingly restored and converted to create a characterful, four bedroom home set in a tranquil location, yet just a few minutes from a town with an excellent range of amenities. The property is bursting with charm and character thanks to lots of beautifully restored and exposed carpentry and stonework, including the original wooden cattle stalls.
The development has been completed in such a way that the house could easily be divided, without any further work other than locking some internal doors, to create a separate, self-contained gîte. If required, the property can be purchased fully furnished and equipped, including a ride on mower.
Whilst offering outstanding value for money given the spacious accommodation, the property requires no major works thanks to having had a brand new roof in 2018 and having a fosse septique that conforms to the current regulations.
The original cottage now offers a well equipped kitchen set around a Charentaise fireplace with a wood burning stove. The kitchen comes complete with a range cooker, a dishwasher and a washing machine.
To the rear is a cosy snug with a wood burning stove and a door out into the garden. The original cottage staircase rises to the first floor where there are two bedrooms, each with an ensuite shower room.
On both levels, the cottage opens through into the original barn which features a stunning, double height room. On the ground floor is a large dining room with stone flooring. The original cattle stalls act to separate this room from the second kitchen which has free standing cooker plus a range of fitted cupboards.
The remaining ground floor area of the barn has been developed to offer two further bedrooms, a shower room with w.c. and large storage room.
The first floor of the barn consists of an enormous mezzanine lounge which has plenty of space to act as a games room in addition to a TV and entertaining space.
The house is surrounded by garden on all four sides. In addition to some old stone outbuildings which offer extensive storage and workshop space, there is an above ground, heated swimming pool alongside which is a newly laid, paved terrace. There is also a working well within the grounds.
The local town of Chabanais is only 4km away and offers a great range of amenities including a supermarket, a DIY store, a doctor and a pharmacy. The nearest airport is at Limoges and this can be reached in just 30 minutes. The high speed TGV rail service runs from Angoulême (45 minutes drive) and this offers easy access to both Paris and Bordeaux.
