Beautifully Presented Character House, Massignac, Charente

Property Description

This is a rare opportunity for a horse lover to acquire 11 acres of fenced grazing, with a stream on the land.  The property is built in typical Charente style with a pantiled roof, exposed stone walls and shutters.  Part of the house could be arranged to offer B&B accommodation to paying guests.

Despite having sold property in France for over 30 years, La Résidence is still surprised at the value for money that France offers compared with its neighbour across the Channel.  This is a perfect example.  The sale not only includes the land previously mentioned, but a beautifully presented, 4-bedroomed, spacious character stone house, all centrally heated and double-glazed, and a fine, detached stone/workshop barn (260m²).

The ground floor is open-plan.  There is a dining/sitting area (50m²) with wood-burning stove, , fitted kitchen (30m²) and an office/bedroom (16m²) with shower and WC.  A lovely, bright sun room leads onto the terrace.  It would be a simple matter to separate the bedroom/ensuite and sun room to let as a B&B.

On the first floor is the master suite comprising a bedroom (16m²) and bathroom with roll-top bath and walk-in shower.  There are two further double bedrooms (16m² and 14m²) and a second bathroom with WC.

Massignac is a tranquil little village, set against the beautiful lakes, woodlands and pastures of the Charente Limousin. It’s the perfect place to relax and enjoy outdoor pursuits in unpolluted air.  This part of Western France is authentic and unspoiled.  Massignac may be small but it does have useful local amenities, including a bakery, butcher, pharmacy and general store.  Supermarkets are easily found in larger towns just a short drive away.

Activities close to Massignac include golf (there are two great courses nearby), horse-riding (excellent trails and safe bridle paths) and lake-based sports at the Haute Charente Lakes.  Airports within easy reach of Massignac include Limoges and Poitiers.  There are TGV stations in both those cities for those who prefer rail travel.
