House

The front door opens into the entrance hall (13 sq m) with terracotta tiled floor. To the left of the entrance a door opens into the spacious sitting room (30 sq m) with marble tiled floor and a stone fireplace. To the right of the entrance a door opens into the kitchen (13 sq m) with tiled floor and fitted units. To the rear of the kitchen a door opens into the breakfast / dining room (13 sq m) with wooden floor. A glazed door from this room opens back into the entrance hall.

To the far side of the kitchen another door opens into a short corridor (off which is a WC) which leads to the summer living room (27 sq m) with tiled floor, wood burning stove (with a back boiler capable of heating water) and a part-glazed door opening the garden.

First floor

To the rear of the entrance hall a traditional curved wooden staircase rises to the first floor landing. To the right of the landing a door opens into a suite of two rooms (19 sq m and 13 sq m) both with attractive wooden floor boards. To the left of the landing a door opens to another bedroom (13 sq m), again with wooden floors. Another door on the left of the landing opens into a large family bathroom (13 sq m) with bath, WC, bidet, and washbasin. Also off the landing is a smaller room (4.5 sq m - ideal as a study or an additional shower room).

Second floor

The staircase continues to the second floor - this is currently unconverted attic space covering the entire width of the house (potential for an additional 70 sq m of habitable space).

Outbuildings

Attached to the house is a large garage - this is reached via the summer living room. A room has already been created using part of the garage. This room is currently used as an over-flow bedroom and has a washbasin to one corner and a window and door opening into the garden. The remaining garage space is easily large enough to be used as a garage, with space left over to house the oil-fired central heating boiler.

There are also some small storage outbuildings in the garden, including a wine store.

Garden

The house sits on a plot of 1840 sq m - there is a gravelled drive leading to the garage which also provides good parking space. The rest of the garden is mainly laid to lawn with some flower borders, a variety of shrubs and some impressive specimen trees.

This is an attractive house on the edge of a pretty village with a 4-star chateau hotel, an extremely fine restaurant and within easy reach of both Angouleme and Limoges. Whether for permanent residence or as a holiday home, this property is worth serious consideration.
