Deceptively Large House with Superb Vaulted Cinema Room a Walk to the Boulangerie and Restaurant

Property Description

Our ref- AI4893
Being within walking distance of the village centre but situated in a quiet cul-de-sac, this property is handily situated for the facilities this popular village has to offer. The house itself is approached down a drive shared with the two neighbours and has off-road parking for three cars as well as an integral garage
The property has been completely renovated by the current owners who have incorporated the former earthen floored barn behind the house into the living accommodation to create a stunning large lounge. Off the lounge they have created an entertainment/leisure space in what was the old wine cave with the original vaulted ceiling. It has been completely refurbished to create a wonderful space that remains at a pleasant temperature all year round
The house is fully insulated with double-glazed windows and doors and is heated by a combination of a large log burner and electric heating. There is electric under-floor heating in the lounge and electric radiators in other rooms but the log-burner also circulates heat via the exposed flue which runs through the full height of the lounge and mezzanine
In detail the property comprises:
Lounge - 33m2 with a tiled floor, thermostat controlled under-floor heating and a large log burner with heat radiating flue. It is open to the eaves with a three-sided mezzanine gallery above. There is a door into a store room and the integral garage, steps down to the cave and steps up to the kitchen
Cave - 33m2 which has an exposed stone vaulted ceiling and tiled floor and has full satellite TV and internet connectivity with concealed lighting around the walls

Outside
The garden at the back of the house is walled with a gated pedestrian access from the small lane which belongs to this property and can be used for extra parking space. Doors from the kitchen and dining room lead onto the rear paved terrace which has been extended out onto a large dining deck. Steps down from the deck access the lawn area which has raised planting beds along one wall and a stone shed at the far end beside the rear gate
Garage - 16m2 at the front of the house and formerly part of the original barn with vehicle access via the front parking area. The garage has double wooden doors, a concrete floor, power, lighting and internal access to the house. There are parking spaces to the front of the house. The property has a vaulted citerne water tank under the barn to collect rainwater for irrigation
The village has a boulangerie, bar restaurant and primary school within walking distance and is a five minute drive to the large market town of Ruffec which has a wide variety of commercial, leisure and cultural facilities as well as a railway station connecting into the TGV express train services. The RN10 trunk road is accessible a few minutes drive away which has great road connections to Angouleme, Poitiers and Bordeaux
This is a very attractive property that is much larger than it looks from the outside and provides excellent high quality accommodation. It would be ideal as a lock up and leave holiday home but equally good for someone looking for a large property with enough outside space to make the most of the lovely climate but who doesn't want to spend all their leisure time looking after it. Well worth viewing!
