Partly renovated logis with huge potential

This large property comprises a large mostly renovated Charentaise with an attached house requiring renovation, substantial outbuildings and offers great potential for gites, chambres d'hotes or as a large family home.

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to an entrance hall that runs the depth of the house (with terracotta tiled floor and exposed stone walls). At the far end of the entrance hall a door opens to the garden.

To the right of the hall a door opens to the dining room (20m2) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, a very attractive fireplace with wood-burning stove and a pair of glazed doors to the large courtyard garden. An wide archway leads from dining room to the kitchen (14m2) with tiled floor and sleek modern kitchen units. To the rear of the kitchen a door opens to a hall, off which is a modern shower room (walk-in shower and twin wash-basins) as well as a separate WC.

Doors from the far end of the entrance hall and from the dining room open to a large reception room (31m2) with wooden floor and fireplace with an intricately moulded over mantle.

To the far end of the entrance hall, to the left, a door opens to a room (24m2 - currently used as a bedroom) with wooden floor and fireplace.

To the left of the entrance hall (opposite the door to the dining room) a door opens to an as yet un-renovated room (20m2).

First floor

An attractive wooden staircase rises from the hall to a spacious first floor landing, off which are two large bedrooms (26m2 and 24m2) each with wooden floors and one with a fireplace. Also off the landing is a room which would be ideal as a bathroom.

Attached house

Attached to the main house and accessed from the courtyard, the garden and the main house, is a second house requiring renovation. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall and two reception rooms - one of which has an impressive fireplace and which is currently used as a summer sitting room. Upstairs there are extensive attics providing huge potential for further development.

Outbuildings

Attached to the house are a number of outbuildings. One of which is accessible directly from the kitchen and which is used as a laundry / store / boiler room. From here a flight of stone stairs descends to a cellar.

Detached from the main house are two ranges of stone outbuildings (one of which has lost its roof) - these offer great potential for further development (subject to any relevant planning permissions).

Exterior

To the rear of the house is a large courtyard - mainly laid to grass with grave parking area - this is generally used as the main entrance. To the front of the house is a more formal garden, laid to lawn with a number of mature specimen trees, shrubs and flower borders.

This is a substantial property - immediately habitable and offering further potential for chambres d'hotes, gites and so on. The village has a pretty market place, grocer's and butcher's shop. The historic town of Saintes is just 15km.
