Set in a tranquil location amidst rolling countryside, with exceptional views, this charming property combines traditional character with the comfort and convenience of recent improvements.
The property has been lovingly refurbished over the past two years, creating a cosy and welcoming home while retaining many of the features that give a traditional French farmhouse its unique appeal. Accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a farmhouse-style kitchen and a comfortable living room with wood-burning stove.
One of the bedrooms is conveniently situated on the ground floor and enjoys views over the countryside to the rear.
The heart of the home is the traditional French-style farmhouse kitchen, complete with exposed beams, wooden flooring, fitted units and a large pantry cupboard. The cosy living room features a beamed ceiling, tiled floor and fireplace with wood-burning stove.
The property also benefits from a new shower room and a beautiful new family bathroom.
Approached through gates, the property opens onto a large private courtyard with ample parking for several vehicles, together with a covered carport.
To the rear, there are wonderful uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A small above-ground swimming pool is perfectly positioned to take advantage of this peaceful setting - an ideal place to relax, enjoy the sunshine and simply take in the views.
A large attached stone barn of approximately 90m² offers excellent potential for a variety of uses. Subject to the necessary permissions, this space could potentially be converted to provide additional living accommodation or independent accommodation. Alternatively, it would make an ideal space for a studio, workshop, creative pursuits, storage or hobbies.
There are also several additional outbuildings, including a utility/summer kitchen, workshop and storage room, wine store and wood store, providing an exceptional amount of useful ancillary space.
The property benefits from a newly installed EcoFlow individual drainage system, oil-fired central heating and fibre-optic internet.
There is a bar/café in the village and, for local amenities, Aunac-Sur-Charente is 6km from the property. Ruffec, which has all main commerce, as well as a train station and good road links, is just 20 minutes by car.
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a characterful French country home in a peaceful setting, with plenty of scope for further development.
This is a property that really needs to be seen to be appreciated. A true “must-see”!
