Farmhouse & Barn Conversion with Excellent Gite Potential

Property Description

Situated in the beautiful Haute-Charente region close to the Dordogne border, the properties share a beautiful, landscaped plot, but each has its own driveway, terrace, and garden area and is not overlooked by the other.

The farmhouse comprises a magnificent open plan lounge (55m2) with original oak beams, a Charentaise fireplace, and wood-burning stove. The fully fitted kitchen (18m2) incorporates a dishwasher, fridge, electric oven and ceramic hob, and the adjoining utility room (8m2) houses a washing machine, tumble dryer and fridge/freezer. A shower room (2m2) with shower cubicle, wc and wash-hand basin completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, a beautiful galleried landing serves three large bedrooms (20m2, 18m2 & 14m2) and a family bathroom (8.5m2) comprising bath, shower cubicle, wc, wash-hand basin and bidet. The second floor provides an additional bedroom or sitting room (14m2).

Total habitable space for the farmhouse is 168m2.

Outside, a large gravel driveway is bordered by mature trees and shrubs. The enclosed private swimming pool measures 10m x 6m and is up to 2m deep. A pool house is attached. A decking area to the side of the property (14.5m2) is ideal for al-fresco dining.

The farmhouse is currently let to paying guests during the summer and generates a healthy income.

The barn conversion features a double-height sitting room (34m2) with inset wood-burner, and an open-plan, fully fitted kitchen (27.5m2) that comprises a washing machine, American-style fridge/freezer, electric oven and gas hob. A bedroom (13.5m2) and shower room (7.5m2) with double-width shower cubicle, wc and wash-hand basin completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, a galleried landing (5m2) leads to two bedrooms (15m2 & 14m2), each with an en-suite shower room (3m2) comprising double-width shower cubicle, wc and wash-hand basin.

Total habitable space for the barn is 120m2.

Outside a sunken terrace (13.5m2) is surrounded by mature trees and shrubs. The attached field/paddock (possible building plot subject to permission) provides access, and parking.

Each property has it’s own Fosse Septique. The barn’s was installed in 2017; the farmhouse approximately twenty years ago. There is no mains gas. The properties currently share the electricity supply. The farmhouse had a new roof last year, and the barn roof was replaced approximately ten years ago. The ground floors of both properties are fully tiled, and the original floorboards have been retained in two of the farmhouse bedrooms. The doors and windows in both properties are fully double-glazed, and electric convector heaters supplement the log burning stoves. Satellite internet and TV.
