Spacious and elegant townhouse with garden

Great Value For Money

This fine townhouse is deceptively spacious - it has three reception rooms, six bedrooms, a central courtyard, garage and garden and yet is in the centre of town.

House

Ground floor

The front door opens into a tiled entrance hall with original black and white tiled floor. To the end of the hall is a large walk-in cloak cupboard and to the left a door opens to the first of three reception rooms (20 sq m). From here a pair of glazed doors opens into a spacious sitting room (30 sq m) with Charentaise fireplace, a range of original cupboards, wooden floor and a glazed door to the courtyard.

To the back of this room a part-glazed door opens to a hallway (with stairs to the first floor and glazed doors to the courtyard) which in turn leads to a room (17 sq m - currently used as the dining room). From here another door opens to a second hallway (with stairs to the first floor and door to the courtyard). A door from this hallway leads through to the kitchen (about 12 sq m - with glazed doors to the courtyard) and utility room (about 12 sq m) as well as a ground floor WC.

First floor

Stairs from both hallways lead to the first floor. Up here there are three spacious bedrooms (25 sq m, 22 sq m and 14 sq m), a bathroom, a shower room and a further bedroom (17 sq m) which is currently used as a library / office. There are some impressive original floorboards on this floor and the largest bedroom has a marble fireplace.

A door to the rear of the landing leads to one of the original defensive towers in the Jarnac rampart - this leads out onto the ramparts and gives direct access via a stairway to the garden below.

Second floor

A wooden staircase continues to a large second floor landing, off which are two further bedrooms (22 sq m and 17 sq m) as well as a shower room. At the end of the landing a door provides access to an unconverted attic space which in turn leads through to another large unconverted space (42 sq m -easily large enough for a couple more rooms).

Cellar

A trapdoor in the sitting room provides access to a spacious cellar which also house the gas central heating boiler.

Courtyard and Garden

The private, walled courtyard is accessed from the sitting room, dining room, rear hall and kitchen and provides a wonderful outside living space. At one end a covered passage passes through the town's rampart wall and out to a rear courtyard with an open-sided barn, a garage and the 400 sq m garden. The south wall of the garden forms the rampart wall.

This is a very spacious and adaptable house in the heart of Jarnac.
