Spacious "sous-Sol" House With Large..

House

Main level

The front door opens to a large entrance hall (11m2) with tiled floor and a wood-burning stove. To the right of the hall a door opens to the L-shaped dual-aspect sitting room (32m2) with terracotta tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and three pairs of glazed doors opening on to a balcony with wonderful south-facing views over the garden and the vineyards beyond.

A door from the sitting room opens to a generous kitchen (21m2) with tiled floor, a range of fitted kitchen units and a pair of glazed doors to the balcony. There is plenty of space in the kitchen for a dining area. A second door from the kitchen opens back into the entrance hall.

From the hall another door opens to a sun room (17m2) with picture windows overlooking the garden, making the most of the views. In this room there is a kitchen area with hob, sink and an indoor barbeque - so "outdoor" entertaining is possible even in winter!

To the left of the hall a corridor provides access to four bedrooms (14m2, 12m2, 10m2 and a child's room of 6.5m2). There is also a family bathroom (bath, shower, twin wash-basins and WC) as well as a separate WC.

Lower level

A staircase descends from the entrance hall to a guest apartment comprising a living room (11m2), a bedroom (21m2) and a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC). There is also access to the integral double garage (about 115m2), a store room and another WC.

Exterior

The house sits on a plot of 4779m2 (over one acre). A drive from the road leads through part of the garden to the garage. This part of the garden is laid to lawn with a number of trees and shrubs. The rest of the garden lies to the south of the house and is again laid mainly to lawn with a number of mature specimen trees.

This is a spacious house in a great location - on the edge of a village within walking distance of the boulangerie and other shops (the village also has a trout and caviar farm). The house currently has its water supply from a bore-hole in the garden although the new owner my wish to connect to the mains supply (an individual connection point is available at the boundary of the property). The historic towns of Cognac and Jarnac are just a short drive and there is easy access to the great road and rail network.
