The property enjoys a great location in the heart of this popular riverside town, whilst retaining an air of tranquillity and great views. The house is particularly well appointed with central vacuuming, a water softener, central heating and double glazing, and the roof, wiring and plumbing have all been renewed in recent years.
Ground floor
The front door opens to an L shaped entrance hall (18 sq metres) with marble floor tiles and an original spiralling wood staircase. To the right of the entrance hall is a sitting room (21 sq metres) with attractive parquet flooring and marble fire surround. To the far end of the hallway is the main reception room (63 sq metres), a light filled, elegant space with areas for dining, and relaxing whilst enjoying the views of the terrace garden and beyond. The newly fitted, and fully equipped kitchen (17 sq metres) is accessed from here and there is the useful addition of a pantry off the kitchen (3.5sq metres). An inner hallway leads to the integral garage, also accessing a ground floor WC and a store room which could transform into a laundry room.
First floor
From a central hallway the bedrooms are located to either the front or the rear of the house, both having pleasant views over the town. To the right of the entrance hall a bedroom (19 sq metres) enjoys excellent views, parquet flooring and has a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room with WC. To the left of the hall way is a second bedroom (also 19 sq metres) and next to this a former dressing room (5.5 sq metres), which is currently used as an office space. Along side this is a shower room (7.5 sq metres), which also currently serves as a laundry room. To the far end of the hallway is the third bedroom located on this floor, and it also has an en-suite shower room with WC. From the hallway there is access to a roof terrace with views over the main garden and also the river and parkland beyond.
Second floor
The entire third floor is taken up by a studio style room with a shower room and WC. Currently used as an art studio, this area could easily be converted in to two further bedrooms. (The headroom is slightly low to the very edge of the room.)
Exterior
To the front of the house there is a wide door opening to the garage, which could provide parking for two small cars. The rest of the exterior space is to the rear of the property, to really maximise the views. The rear garden is now completely terraced with many flowering plants and shrubs, most of which have been planted is easy-to-reach raised beds. A lovely wisteria provide natural shade for an outdoor dining area; whilst the end of the garden is reserved for admiring the view of the town, river and park. Stone steps lead down from the garden to a vaulted wine cellar.
The town of St Savinien comes alive in the summer months with many festivals and fête days, the town is popular with second home owners and enjoys close proximity to the Charente Maritime coast (under 45minutes)

France
France is situated in Western Europe, bordering the Bay of Biscay and English Channel, between Belgium and Spain, southeast of the UK; bordering the Mediterranean Sea, between Italy and Spain. The Mediterranean coast is characterised by hot rainless summers and mild and humid winters with an occasional cold north westerly wind known as mistral. Finally severe climates are found only in the mountains. High in the French Alps and Pyrenees, winters are long and snowy, sufficient to support ski resorts.
