This modern house offers generous accommodation, a recently installed pool in an acre of mature garden - close to the market town of Matha.

House

A covered porch area to the side of the house welcomes you to the main entrance of this family home, built in around 1980.

Ground Floor

The front door opens to an inner hallway (23 sq metres) that runs the length of the house, it has been tiled in terracotta floor tiles and offers access to all ground floor rooms and the integral garage.

To the left of the hallway is the large open plan sitting / dining room (60 sq metres), the sitting room (35 sq metres) has an attractive wood burning stove and two glazed doors leading on the garden. A change in level indicates the change in use from sitting room to dining room (25 sq metres), whilst the continuity of the terracotta floor tiles runs through both rooms, there is also a third set of glazed doors leading to the garden. A door leads from the corner of the dining room into the kitchen (15 sq metres), which offers range of fitted units and appliances, and a door leading to the garden. In addition to the kitchen there is a utility room (7.5 sq metres) with fitted storage cupboards and plumbing for a washing machine.

To the front of the house there is a second entrance hall (9.5 sq metres) with fitted cupboards, which is currently used as an office area. Adjacent to this is a ground floor bedroom (10 sq metres) and also a shower room with WC (5 sq metres), which together are ideal for guests or family members with mobility difficulties.

From the hallway there is also a door to the double garage, and a tiled staircase with stone balustrade leading to the first floor.

First Floor

On the first floor there are four further bedrooms (16, 15, 13 and 10.5 sq metres) each with views to either the front or rear gardens, each with laminate flooring and three of the rooms also have built in wardrobes and cupboards. A family bathroom (7 sq metres) with bath, double vanity unit, plenty of storage and WC serves the four bedrooms, whilst there are further storage cupboards on the landing.

Garden

The house sits fairly centrally on its one-acre garden, with lawned areas to front and rear. The ground floor has four sets of glazed doors leading out onto the terrace and beyond to the garden. The swimming pool with solar shower was installed in 2003, and is still under guarantee. The garden has been planted with a number of mature specimen fruit trees, and the property is totally enclosed by a healthy and full laurel hedge.

The garage has room for two cars, and also has a storage mezzanine as well as workshop and wine cellar.

The village centre with its boulangerie, is just a few minutes walk away, and just a little further there is also a pleasant restaurant over looking a leisure lake with its own swimming beach!

There is plenty to do and see in the area, within a 15-minute drive, one reaches both the towns of Cognac and Matha, with the beaches of the Atlantic coast being under one hours drive away.
