Elegant townhouse

Elegant townhouse

This 4-bedroom townhouse with walled garden and heated swimming pool is in the very heart of this popular market town.

House

Ground floor

The front door opens into an elegant entrance hall (12 sq m) with an original tile floor and moulded plaster ceiling. To the left a pair of doors opens into a reception room (20 sq m). This room has an attractive wooden floor, high skirting boards, wood panelled window surrounds, a marble fireplace and delicately moulded plaster ceiling.

To the right of the entrance hall a second pair of doors open in another reception room (30 sq m). This room has a wooden floor, high skirting boards, wood panelled window surrounds and an exposed beam ceiling (painted white).

To the rear of the hall a pair of part-glazed doors open into a corridor. To the left of this is the kitchen (12 sq m) with tiled floor and a door to the garden. There is WC off the hall and at the end of the hall a wooden staircase rises to the first floor.

First floor

A landing runs the length of the house, off which are three bedrooms (17 sq m, 20 sq m and 25 sq m), all of which have wooden floors and one of which has a marble fireplace and an ensuite shower room. At the end of the landing is a bathroom with bath, WC and washbasin.

Second floor

The stairs continue to the second floor, where there are two rooms (12 sq m each) and a shower area with WC and washbasin (this area could benefit from a redesign). A doorway from here opens into an unconverted attic space of about 30 sq m.

Basement

Stairs lead down from the entrance hall to a basement consisting of two rooms. One of these is currently used as a wine cellar and the second houses the gas-fired central heating boiler.

Exterior

There is a large walled garden to the back of the property, mostly gravelled over. To one side there is the swimming pool area and to the other there is a very large garage / oubuilding with parking for many cars.

If town life is what is required, this house provides elegant living space with private outside space, all of which is just a stone's throw from the centre of Jarnac.
