Architect-designed house with pool and views

Formerly run as a very successful B&B, this contemporary house has a pool, fine country views and is within walking distance of the village shop and the only Michelin-starred restaurant in the Charente

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (10 sq m) with tiled floor. To the left a pair of glass doors opens to the first reception room (17 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, fireplace with closed foyer and patio doors to the south-facing front garden. From here an archway leads through to the dining room (19 sq m) with tiled floor, high ceiling and glazed doors to the conservatory. To the right of the dining room (open-plan to it) a few steps lead down to the second reception area (14 sq m) with tiled floor and a closed-foyer fire place.

To the left of the dining room a door opens to the kitchen / breakfast room (21 sq m) with tiled floor, a defined kitchen area with fitted units and a dining / breakfast area. There is one door from the kitchen that opens back into the main entrance hall and a second door that opens to a paved terrace to the rear of the house. To the rear of the breakfast room and the dining room is a long conservatory with fine views.

To the left of the entrance hall a corridor passes by a WC and leads on to two bedrooms (15 sq m and 11.5 sq m) - the larger room having a small ensuite shower room and patio doors to the front garden. Also off the corridor is a bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC).

First floor

A staircase rises from the entrance hall to a small first floor landing, off which are two bedrooms (17 sq m and 9.5 sq m) as well as a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC).

Lower ground floor

A second flight of stairs leads down from the entrance hall to a hallway off which are a bedroom (11.5 sq m) and a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC). At the end of the hallway a door opens to a very large room (43 sq m - currently used as an art / hobby room) with tiled floor and patio door to the rear garden. To the rear of the room, separated from it by sliding doors, is another room (20 sq m - currently used as a bedroom).

Another door from the hallway opens to the utility room, off which is another shower room (with WC). Next to this a door opens to the garage with parking area and workshop area.

Exterior

The property sits on a sloping plot of 5727 sq m. To the front of the house is a delightfully landscaped garden area, next to which is the sectioned-off swimming pool area with its terrace.

To the side of the house is a gravelled parking area. To the rear, the garden descends in terraces to the vineyards in the river valley below. The majority of this area is woodland.

Given its location, this property lends itself to B&B but it could equally make a great permanent or holiday home.
