Large charentais house with maison d'amis

This spacious property has flexible accommodation and could provide a character home plus the possibility of two gites for rental income.

Located just outside a popular village with amenities, under 10 minutes' drive from Cognac, this spacious property has much to offer. Currently a family home plus independent annex for friends and family, this property also offers the potential of 2 g�tes for generating an income.

Principal residence

Ground floor

From the front courtyard, a part glazed door opens into an entrance hall (4 sq m), to the right is the smallest of the three reception rooms (4 x 4.4 = 17.5 sq m), and to the left is an attractive sitting room (5.8 x 6 = 35 sq m) with fireplace and wood burning stove and hardwood floors. A door from here leads on to the dining room (5.8 x 4.2 = 24 sq m) which also features a snug (7.5 sq m) with a second wood burner.

The dining room leads on to the spacious kitchen diner (4.3 x 6.7 = 28 sq m) with a built-in laundry. The kitchen opens to the side of the house and has been converted from a former outbuilding or �chai� that would have been attached to the rear of the house. It is a spacious and light room, the real �heart� of a family home.

From the kitchen there is access to a ground floor bedroom (4.4 x 3.2 = 14 sq m) with en-suite shower room and WC, and this in turn leads to a second kitchen ( 3.6 x 5.3 = 19 sq m), which can also be accessed from the entrance hall.

First floor

Stairs rising from the main kitchen lead to two double bedrooms (20 and 14 sq m), each with south facing vineyard views, and exposed wood floors, and also a family bathroom (11.5 sq m) with bath, shower, vanity unit and WC.

The stairs rising from the entrance hall lead to the middle bedroom (4 x 4.5 = 18 sq m) which enjoys the same far reaching views and also a spacious bathroom with WC (9 sq m). The middle bedroom and bathroom, ground floor en-suite bedroom, smaller reception room, entrance hall and second kitchen, can be used independently from the main part of the house. As such, could be let for income or simply used for family guests.

Maison d�amis

To the far right of the house, is an entirely independent annex; comprising: on the ground floor an entrance hall (3 sq m) leading to a living room (5 x 5.4 = 27 sq m) with wood burner, a dining kitchen (3.8 x 5.5 = 21 sq m) and from here steps rise to another room (19 sq m) currently used as a games room and utility area.

On the first floor there are two large bedrooms (25 and 21 sq m) both of which have en-suite shower rooms with WC.

This property comprises a large volume of accommodation, and there is still room to create more, should you wish.

Exterior

There is a garage and also a large barn, the barn has a private garden to the rear and would lend itself very well to further development (plans have been drawn up by the current owner and can be viewed - planning permission would be required).

The property sits on a sloping plot, which has been very well landscaped. Stone steps lead to the lawned area to the rear, with a selection of mature fruit trees. An attractive swimming pool (9.5m x 4.5m) enjoys views all round the garden and the vineyards beyond.

Previoulsy this property has been used as three dwellings, and one could live in the main house and there is potential for a good income by letting two g�tes in the main holiday season.
