Situated on the banks of the Charente river, with its own drive and private courtyard, Les Lauriers is beautifully located in idyllic rural surroundings. The property consists of two attached but self contained 2 bedroomed houses which have been let as gites for the past few years. One is the original farm cottage, which has a large fitted kitchen/diner with traditional poitevin stone fireplace, living room, large family bathroom downstairs and two double bedrooms (one with ensuite shower room) upstairs and a small conservatory. The second house is a modern barn conversion with a huge open plan, living/kitchen/diningroom and cloakroom downstairsand two further double bedrooms and bathroom upstairs. Both houses have full central heating . The property is could comfortably be left as it is, but also offers a wide range of possibilities for further development. The 2 houses could be knocked into one internally to make a beautiful 'longere' (longhouse); a larger conservatory could be added outside to join the two houses externally;  or the second house (barn conversion) could be further extended into another even larger barn, to make a beautiful spacious home, retaining the original cottage to be let as a gite or for visiting friends and family. An added attraction is the original substantial purpose-built wine cellar, which maintains temperature and humidity at the perfect level for wine all year round, regardless of weather conditions. In addition there is a 10m x 5m swimming pool (fenced), approximately one acre of land with a wide range of fruit and decorative trees, a number of outbuildings and an enclosed courtyard. The perimeter fence of the property has posts for an extra double gate which would open on to part of the land which could easily be dividedfrom the rest as a building plot (subject to planning permission) while still leaving a good sized garden for the 2 houses.
