A Stunningly Presented 1840's Charentaise Stone Country House with Ample Living Space

Description

This is an immaculately presented Charentaise country house built in the 1840’s with 240m2 of living space, 5 bedrooms, a garden of over 3119m2, heated pool and substantial outbuildings.

There is a grand entrance hall with an original wooden staircase that elegantly spirals up to the floor above. Leading off the entrance hall is a large utility room with sink and WC, plumbing for a washing machine and dryer, and ample storage space.

To the left of the entrance hall is a spacious and elegant sitting room with a fireplace and double French doors with views of the pool leading out to the terrace.

To the right of the entrance hall is a large dining room with fireplace and windows looking out onto the front garden. Running off the dining room is a cosy study with views onto the back garden and pool.

Adjoining this room is the large kitchen with stylish modern black lacquer cupboards and a central island. There is plenty of room for a dining table and chairs and it incorporates a fireplace with a wood burning stove.

An attractive glazed boot room, ideal for pets, leads you from the kitchen into the extensive gardens. There is a second staircase at the back of the kitchen that leads up to the upper floor, a useful attribute if you are considering using the property for chambre d'hôtes.

Upstairs there are built in cupboards on the large landing area and 5 bedrooms. One of the bedrooms is perfect as a guest suite with its own en-suite bathroom/shower room. The second family bathroom includes a bath and shower and looks over onto the back garden and pool.

All of the rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated and the house has central heating throughout.

The established garden with many mature trees has been well maintained and features a 8m x 4m heated pool with alarm. The covered terrace is the perfect place for relaxing in the shade on a hot summer’s day and provides an idyllic space for dining al fresco.

At the front of the house is a stunning gravelled courtyard with fishpond. Adjoining the house are 3 substantial outbuildings including a garage area with room for multiple vehicles, a wine cellar, a workshop and another outbuilding with its own “secret” courtyard garden with fountain that has great potential for conversion.
