This spacious dual-aspect room has a large walk-in wardrobe and a generous ensuite bathroom (bath, wash-basin and WC).A flight of stairs rises from the landing to a mezzanine floor (20 sq m), currently used as an over-flow bedroom, but equally useful as an office / library. Next to this a door opens to an attic space.
OutsideThe patio doors in the hall open onto a paved terrace that surrounds the heated swimming pool (7m x 5m). There is a further terraced area beyond the pool as well as an area of lawn.The gardens are completely enclosed. An electric gate opens in the side wall of the property to provide access for cars - there is garaging space for three cars and the outbuildings cover 320 sq m providing some scope for further development subject to relevant planning permission (water, mains drainage and electricity are already available).The front and side of the house is double glazed (with ground floor windows treated for privacy).The house also benefits from a heat exchange air-cooling/heating system.Set in the heart of this popular and historic riverside market town, the house is just a one minute walk of the River Charente and within easy walking of the shops, bars, restaurant and park. There is also potential to use one of the moorings on the river. It could make a very comfortable family or holiday home and also offers great potential for rental income.
