Property Description

In tranquil surroundings in this unspoilt corner of South West France, an attractive, well maintained former barn, with stunning views over the local countryside, set in a mature 2 acre level garden with various well established fruit trees, truffle oaks and a walnut orchard which yields 200+ kgs of Franquette nuts every year. There is also 2 acres of woodland which is separate from the house.

The house is a spacious, one level house set on a quiet chemin 1km from the charming village of Bonnes on the Charente/Dordogne border and only 3 kms from Aubeterre sur Dronne which is officially listed as " One of the most beautiful villages in France " The pretty village of Saint Aulaye is 3kms in the other direction. Both offer a wide variety of amenities including shops, post office and many lively bars and restaurants. Riberac and Chalais with their famous weekly markets are both 9kms away and the World Heritage Site and wine region of St Emillion is just over half an hour's drive away. Chalais also has good rail connections to Bordeaux and Angouleme ( world famous for the Circuit des Remparts in September) with links to the New high speed 2 hr TGV direct line to Paris. The airports of Bordeaux/and Bergerac are 1.15hrs away.

There are 3 bedrooms all with natural wood floors, The large master bedroom with vaulted ceiling has an en-suite bathroom and French doors leading to the terrace. There is a family shower room with walk in shower and a utility room/wc.

The kitchen/diner is bright and modern with a range of up to date units.
Heating is via electric radiators and two wood burning stoves.
A "Culligan" water softening treatment system is installed throughout.
The large private terrace which is great for entertaining, leads down to the 10 x 5 mtr inground swimming pool and overlooks the stunning countryside and sunflower fields.
There are a range of stone outbuildings which include large garage, bread oven, wood store and workshop, all of which could be converted to gite accommodation if desired. All have water and electricity.
