Brillac (Charente) - Four bed house for..

This property occupies a gorgeous location that is sure to captivate the hearts of many a buyer looking for their perfect French home. It sits on the edge of a small hamlet, at the end of a no through road and alongside a beautiful lake teeming with carp. There are 5 acres of land in all with paddocks and parkland perfect for grazing horses or other animals. The house itself is in pristine condition, easy to maintain and efficient to run with its state of the art, wood granule central heating system.

Peace and tranquility are assured as you approach the property along a single-track lane from the hamlet and access the sweeping driveway. The primary living accommodation is all on one floor, making the most of the views over the lake, whilst an enormous basement provides both garaging and plentiful storage space.

A heavy wooden front door opens into the spacious Entrance Hall which has a cloakroom with toilet and off which all the accommodation can be accessed. There is a fully fitted Kitchen, large enough for a dining table, with a good range of oak fronted units and integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, eye level electric oven and a gas hob.

The Lounge/Dining Room has an impressive stone fireplace with a wood burning stove and two sets of double doors, one set opening out onto a patio overlooking the lake, the other opening into a large Conservatory. The Conservatory boasts three sets of double doors to ensure adequate air flow in the summer months and directly overlooks both the lake and the heated, pure water Swimming Pool.

There are three double Bedrooms on this floor, all with fitted wardrobes, one of which is currently utilised as a Study. The other two both offer ensuite facilities, one with both a bath and a shower, the other with a shower cubicle.

There is one further double Bedroom on the basement level again with an ensuite shower room, however the current owners use this room as a Utility Room and have provided plumbing for a washing machine.

The remaining basement space covers 82m2 and provides plenty of space both for garaging and for storage. This is also where the highly efficient wood granule burning central heating boiler is situated along with the hopper for the wood granules which are automatically fed through to the boiler as required. Finally there is the most important room in the house - the Wine Cave!

The house is surrounded by gardens on all sides with attractive landscaping to the front and the natural beauty of the lake to the rear. The lake has an island with a bridge linking it to the paved patio area that extends around the swimming pool and down to a lakeside barbecue area. Beyond the lake is grassed parkland, which rises up through a conifer copse into a fenced paddock.

The grounds are a haven for wildlife with red squirrels, hoopoe, golden oriel and kingfishers amongst the many visitors. The grounds and pool are easy to maintain and the garden & pool equipment plus some of the house furniture is available to sale by separate agreement with the vendors.

Adding to the energy and cost efficiency of this property, solar panels have recently been installed and these generate electricity that is sold to the grid and generates around 1200 € income each year for the owners.

Local facilities are available within two villages, both about 5 minutes drive away, whilst the pretty town of Confolens, with large supermarkets and other amenities, can be reached in around 15 minutes. The airport in Limoges, with frequent flights to and from a number of UK airports, is easily reached in around 40 minutes whilst the high speed TGV rail network can be accessed in Poitiers, just an hour away.
