House

Ground floor

The arched front doors opens from the sunny front courtyard directly in to a reception room (33 sq metres). Currently used as a dining / family room, with large stone fireplace, rustic beamed ceiling and glazed door to the rear garden. To the right, a door leads through to the kitchen (14 sq metres) which features a beautiful sink unit, which along with a variety of freestanding units gives the kitchen an authentic farmhouse, feel. A doorway leads to the utility room (10.5 sq metres), offering a practical extension to the kitchen. To the left of the family room is an inner hallway, originally the entrance hall, from which stairs rise to the first floor, and a door leads through to the sitting room (28 sq metres) also rich with original features, and a glazed door leading on to the front courtyard. There si also a ground floor cloakroom and WC.

First floor

The first floor´s L-shaped landing boasts original floorboards, and gives access to the three double bedrooms on this floor. The master suite (28 sq metres) offers pure luxury with yet another limestone fire surround and wood burner, original floorboards and an en suite shower room with WC. The two remaining bedrooms (26 and 17 sq metres) are bright and sunny with south facing views, have been decorated sympathetically and also boast original floor boards. A family bathroom (8 sq metres) with bath, sink and WC completes the first floor.

Second floor

A recent attic conversion now comprises bedroom (17 sq metres), shower room with WC (7.5 sq metres) and office space (6 sq metres). There is also an as yet unconverted area of 37 sq metres that could easily offer an additional en suite bedroom.

Exterior

To the rear of the house is pleasant walled garden, with terrace and swimming pool. A large barn (100 sq metres) has two attractive stone arches and could be converted to offer additional accommodation, or with the creation of a side door could be a large garage. Located in one of the prettiest parts of the region, with rolling vine covered hills, the village is by no means isolated, with Chateauneuf, Jarnac and Angouleme all within easy reach.
