Spacious, Fully Renovated, Character 'Sous-Sol' House with Extensive Countryside Views

Property Description

Summary
Sitting in a plot size of 2888m², our house is set back from the D69 road between BRANTÔME (24310) and AGONAC (24460), a few metres up a short lane.
Gated access to a large block paved drive, leads up to a flight of steps onto the balcony and into the central entrance hall, giving access to the first floor and the main accommodation - kitchen, living room, bedrooms and bathroom.

The kitchen has an extensive range of high-quality modern 'Schmidt' units, with a 120cm Ilve range cooker (gas hob, 2 electric ovens), Falmec extractor fan, Samsung American-style fridge freezer with mains water and ice maker, and an integrated Whirlpool microwave. Deep granite worktops, one and a half stainless steel sinks. Large window with fly screen.
Across the hall is a spacious dual-aspect living/dining room with polished wooden flooring. Sunlight streams in through the triple and double French doors, which open onto the balcony overlooking the leafy landscape.
The Rika Imposa wood-burning stove provides comforting warmth on chilly days and evenings and filters down to the adjoining snug (which could be a fourth bedroom), with a range of bespoke oak shelving lining the far wall and a single cupboard/wardrobe beside it. Double French doors (with sliding screens) open onto the side balcony.
Two bright double bedrooms, both with large windows with mosquito nets, parquet flooring. One has an en-suite shower, toilet and washbasin, and a built-in wardrobe. The other has double mirrored wardrobes along one wall.
Next to this bedroom is a fully tiled bathroom with a separate shower, bath, vanity unit with two washbasins, toilet, bidet, and wall-mounted cupboard.
A flight of wooden stairs leads down from the entrance hall to the ground floor where there is a summer kitchen with sink and doors leading to the utility room, studio/office/3rd bedroom with en-suite shower room, covered terrace and garden. And large garage. The utility room houses the heating system and is equipped with a circuit box, electrical outlets, washing machine plumbing, shelving, and counter space.
Another door takes you into a stunning 30m² space currently used as an artist's studio & office, including a 3rd bedroom with en-suite shower room/wc.
The huge garage is also accessible from the summer kitchen and has work benches and ample space for a large car.
A final door leads to a large private terrace which benefits from a tiled covered pergola, offering respite from the summer heat and plenty of space to relax and enjoy al fresco dining after a dip in the above-ground pool.

The extensive secure garden offers plenty of space for children, adults and pets.
