Large House On The Edge Of Town

Main house

The main house is currently set-up to provide accommodation for two families to live more or less independently (two kitchens, two living rooms etc) - but the house is not formally divided and remains a single unit.

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall area to the left of which two large arches lead through to a large sitting room (27m2). To the back of the sitting room a pair of glazed doors opens to a formal dining room (22m2) with south-facing views across the garden.

To the left of the sitting room a corridor leads to a kitchen (22m2) with tiled floor, fireplace and a pair of glazed doors opening to the courtyard garden to the front of the house. The corridor then leads on to a sitting room (20m2) withe fireplace and glazed doors to the main garden. The corridor continues to a large ground floor bedroom (25m2) with wooden floor and ensuite shower room (shower and wash-basin). There is a separate WC off the corridor.

To the back of the entrance hall a door opens to a large study / library (24m2) with glazed doors to the main garden.

To the right of the entrance hall a door opens to the third sitting room (18m2) with wooden floor and fireplace. From here a door opens to the summer kitchen (24m2) with tiled floor and a glazed door to the courtyard garden. From the summer kitchen a door opens to an internal hall off which are a WC and the boiler room. There is also a set of service stairs to the first floor.

First floor

The main staircase rises from the entrance hall to the first floor landing, off which are 7 bedrooms (25m2, 21m2, 21m2, 21m2, 17m2, 13m2 and 10m2) - two of which have ensuite bathrooms and two of which have ensuite washing facilities (wash-basin).

Attic

There is an attic which provides useful storage space.

Cottage

To one corner of the plot is a cottage comprising a kitchen, a living room, 2 bedrooms and two more rooms.

Outbuildings

Formerly part of a Cognac producing estate, the property comes with substantial outbuildings.

Exterior

The house sits on a plot of 21061m2. To the front (north) is a large working courtyard surrounded but the outbuildings and the cottage. This in turn leads to a courtyard garden directly to the front of the house. The main garden lies to the south, mainly left to lawn with a number of trees and shrubs. Lying alongside the main garden is a large vegetable garden.

This is a large house within walking distance of the centre of this popular little town. It could make a great family home whilst also offering B&B and gite potential.
