Stunning Barn Conversion With 2 Gites

Set around a large courtyard garden the three properties share the main entrance gates but can otherwise be independent from one another.

Main house

The front door opens to a spacious entrance hall (10m2) with tiled floor and exposed stone wall. To the left of the hall a door opens to a large modern kitchen area (20m2) with a very large island unit fitted with appliances, sinks and so on - a very social area with plenty of workspace.

The kitchen is open-plan to a very impressive dual-aspect living space (71m2) with double-height ceiling, huge arched windows, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone wall and patio doors to the back garden. Heating for this room is provided by an under-floor heating system as well a by a free-standing wood-burning stove.

To the right of the entrance hall a corridor provides access to a laundry room and a WC. To the end of the corridor a door opens to a generous double bedroom (14m2) with tiled floor, exposed stone wall, patio doors to the courtyard garden and an ensuite shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC). This room also benefits from a reversible air-conditioning system.

First floor

A flight of stairs rises from the living room to a light-and-bright mezzanine level overlooking the room below. This space(14m2) has plenty of room for use as an office as well as a library / relaxation area.

From the mezzanine a corridor provides access to two double bedrooms (14m2 and 12m2) both of which have attractive exposed stone feature walls. The larger bedroom also has an ensuite shower room (shower, wash-basin and WC) and air-conditioning.

Also off the corridor are a bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC) and a large storage cupboard (which also houses the central heating boiler).

Gite

Attached to the house is an attractive gite / guest house. On the ground floor there is an open-plan living room (28m2) with fitted kitchen area and doors to both the front and back gardens. This room also benefits from air-conditioning. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (9m2 and 8m2) as well as a shower room. The gite can also be accessed from the main house, making it ideal for visiting friends and family - giving them (and you!) their own space.

Cottage

Sitting to one corner of the courtyard garden is a charming cottage. On the ground floor there is a living room (35m2) with separate kitchen. Upstairs there are two bedrooms (13.5m2 and 10m2) and a smaller room (6.5m2 - currently used as an office but equally functional as a child's bedroom. There is also a bathroom as well as a separate WC.

Outbuilding

Attached to the end of the gite is a large stone barn (95m2) with potential for further development (planning permission had been granted).

Exterior

The buildings sit on a plot of 2014m2 (about half an acre). To the front of the house there is a large and attractive courtyard garden which is mainly laid to gravel with plenty of parking space. To the back of the house is an enclosed garden, mainly left to lawn with a number of trees, shrubs and flower borders.

This is an outstanding property in an excellent location near the village of Segonzac - capital of the prestigious Grande Champagne vineyards. At just 3km, Segonzac has all the basic amenities including a supermarket, shops, restaurants and medical centre. The popular and historic towns of Cognac and Jarnac are just a short drive and the department's capital, Angouleme with its great road and rail links, is about 30 minutes' drive.
