Exceptional town centre property offering vast accommodation over 3 floors. This grand 'Maison de Maitre' is entered by a large, central hallway leading from the front door right through to the rear walled garden and courtyard. The grand entrance hallway gives access to a spacious sitting room with fireplace, a drawing room on the garden side, separate dining room and a recently fitted kitchen. A magnificent staircase leads to the first floor landing serving 4 double bedrooms (each with beautiful parquet flooring), 2 bathrooms and WC. The staircase then continues to the second floor offering a further two double bedrooms. On this level there are also a further two huge attic rooms providing space for further accommodation if required. From the central hallway, double doors lead to a private graveled courtyard and on to a mature walled garden and large, heated swimming pool (12m x 5m). Within the grounds is an old stone house with a new roof, electricity and water which is currently used as a play den for the children. In the vaulted cellar of the house a very recent central heating system has been installed and is fuelled by wood granules. The house benefits from mains drainage and has two large garages opposite. Just a two minute walk from the bustling town centre of Ruffec.
