Superb Barn Conversion, Jonzac, Charente-Maritime

Property Description

In two-thirds of an acre, this superb barn conversion, close to the popular spa town of Jonzac in the sunny Charente-Maritime, has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The high end fittings include bespoke oak windows and doors, oak flooring, a new fitted kitchen, reversible air conditioning and log burner and a fabulous new pool with country views.

Set on the edge of a picturesque French village just 10 minutes from Jonzac, surrounded by rolling countryside and vineyards, this imposing barn has been tastefully converted into a light and spacious 3 bedroom/2 bathroom family home, retaining many period features including the wonderful, original beams and stone walls. It has recent oak floors and windows. The current owners have installed a fabulous swimming pool with a generous terrace, both with views over the surrounding fields. The next village, 3 km away, has a friendly bakery/café and a popular bar/restaurant

The ground floor has an open-plan feel to it and light floods into every corner from the roof-high French windows in the galleried and vaulted dining room. The oak floors and staircase help to make this house a perfect blend of old and new. The beautiful fitted kitchen has a central island and there is a separate laundry room and also a ground floor shower room. The three bedrooms and second shower room are on the mezzanine level, all with exposed oak beams. 

In the mature garden which is mainly lawn, there is an in-ground pool and pretty sun terrace overlooking the fields and vines. Behind the house is the old village forge which has recently been re-roofed and is currently being used as a workshop and garage. It is large enough to be converted into a separate gîte or granny annexe, subject to Planning. To the side of the house is a large hangar, currently used as a car port, which might also be used to add to the existing accommodation. The entry to the property is via its own drive.
