PRICE REDUCED!
Within walking distance of one of the lake side beaches of the Lacs de la Haute Charente, this characterful stone property offers spacious accommodation and plenty of scope for further development.
Originally a stone cottage with an attached barn, it has been remodelled and extended over many years and at one stage in its history was an auberge restaurant. It is now a four bedroom/two bathroom home with an attached studio/workshop and delightful, south facing gardens. This property would be perfect as a holiday home but, given the size of the accommodation, it would equally make a very comfortable, permanent home in rural France.
Much of the ground floor living space is laid out in an open plan style. An entrance hall opens through to a fitted kitchen with an electric eye level oven and a gas hob set beneath an extractor hood. Double doors open out into the garden whilst to one side is a garden room that is large enough to accommodate a dining table. The garden room contains a wood burning stove making it a comfortable room to enjoy all year round, making the most of the open views across the fields.
To the other side of the kitchen, an archway leads through to the lounge which features a wood burning stove and has two sets of glazed doors opening out onto a patio in the garden.
Also on the ground floor is a large utility room offering copious amounts of storage including a wine cave. The ground floor bathroom has a large walk-in shower and a corner bath, plus there is a separate w.c.
To the rear of the lounge is access to the original cottage which was once the dining room for the restaurant. It is currently used as a workshop and storage space, however it could also be set up as an artist’s studio or even a fifth bedroom. It even has scope to add a further shower room and w.c. on the ground floor.
The first floor of the old cottage remains undeveloped and so there is even potential create a self-contained gîte.
At the head of the staircase in the main house is a large landing area that also functions well as a study space. There are four good sized bedrooms plus a large shower room with w.c.
Beautiful, exposed beams are on show on the first floor whilst all the bedrooms enjoy delightful, open views.
The garden is fully fenced and has double gates allowing access and parking. There is a nice range of established plants and trees along with a covered terrace, a fire wood store and a vegetable garden.
The local countryside, with its beautiful leisure lakes, offers great opportunities for outdoor pursuits including wind surfing, sailing, swimming, cycling, horse riding and walking. The region is well served by transport links with Limoges International airport and the TGV rail network in Angoulême both reachable within just 45 minutes. The historic town of Rochechouart, with its spectacular hill top château, is just a 10 minute drive and offers supermarkets, restaurants, doctors, local shops and banks.
