Spacious Village House

House

Ground floor

The front door opens to the entrance hall (off which is a WC). To the left of the hall a door opens to a ground floor bedroom (15m2) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and an ensuite shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC).

Another doorway to the left of the hall opens to a large living room (56m2 in total) with both sitting and dining areas informally partitioned by a wide arch. This attractive room has a tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, a traditional limestone Charentaise fireplace and a glazed door opening to the garden.

To the right of the entrance hall a passageway leads through to the kitchen (15m2) with a range of fitted units and a useful breakfast bar. Off the kitchen is the "arriere cuisine" or utility room (15m2). Also off the kitchen is a room (13m2) currently used as a workshop.

First floor

A wooden staircase rises from the dining area to a first floor landing (about 15m2) off which are two double bedrooms (each 15m2) both with exposed beam. Also off the landing is a shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC).

A second staircase rises from the kitchen to a second landing, off which are two more bedrooms (26m2 and 7.5m2) both with wooden floors and exposed beams and the largest having an exposed stone feature wall. Also off the landing is a bathroom (bath with shower over, wash-basin and WC).

Exterior

The house sits on a plot of 370m2. The pretty courtyard-style garden is south facing and to one side there is a terrace.

Attached to the house is a barn (about 43m2) with glazed doors to the garden. This area is currently used as a studio / hobby space and could be incorporated into the habitable space if desired (subject to relevant planning permissions).

To one corner of the garden is a small outbuilding which has been modernised to create a useful office (8m2).

In addition to the main plot there is another small plot just over the village lane which provides a parking area. There is also a plot of land (a small field of 620m2) further down the road.

This spacious house could make a great home and given the manageable garden and its location in the Charente-Maritime it could also become a very comfortable holiday home.
