Description:

Set on a quiet village street and enjoying views over the nearby château, this property is comprised of a beautifully converted stone barn set in an acre of grounds with a swimming pool and a separate gîte. The original character of the barn has been retained with exposed stone walls and wooden beams.
From the narrow street, double doors open into a magnificent, tiled entrance hall, off which there is a ground floor toilet and a cloaks cupboard.
The main living area has been designed to be a convivial and welcoming space. It consists of an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining room with solid wood flooring and two sets of French windows opening onto a terrace in the garden. The kitchen is well equipped with a range of fitted storage units along with a range cooker, dishwasher, fridge/freezer and a kitchen island. Off the kitchen is a walk-in larder and a laundry room.
The lounge area is focussed around a fireplace within which sits an impressive wood burning stove, easily capable of heating the entire space. An archway opens through to the dining room which has a door through into the study.
Off the first floor landing are three guest bedrooms, a large family bathroom (with a freestanding bath, twin wash basins, a bidet, w.c. and a walk-in shower cubicle) and a master bedroom suite with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room.
Sitting behind large double gates there is an off street parking area to the side of the main house. The garden has been beautifully landscaped to create a range of seating areas that allow either full sun or shade and make the most of the fabulous view over the medieval château. The landscaping also incorporates an in-ground, heated, salt-water swimming pool measuring 10 metres by 4.5 metres and with Roman steps. The garden is very private and, in addition to a garden storage shed, also has a lovely wooden summer house.
The gîte was built in 2010 and is set within a grass field that has its own separate entrance and driveway. It is comprised of an open plan lounge, kitchen and dining area, a bathroom with both bath and shower, a bespoke oak staircase leading to a mezzanine bedroom and an attached garage that is currently utilised as a workshop.
The village of Varaignes is a popular destination for tourists, drawn there by its stunning, medieval château that sits in the heart of the village. It offers a range of local amenities including a boulangerie, épicerie with coffee shop, post office and junior school. The nearest large supermarket is just 10 minutes’ drive. The international airport in Limoges is just over an hour away, whilst the TGV rail network can be accessed in Angoulême, which is only a 30 minute drive.
