Terre-De-Haute-Charente (Charente) - 5 Bedroom Mansion for Sale with House, Barn and Swimming Pool

Property Description

PRICE REDUCED!
This sympathetically renovated, five bedroomed Maison de Maître sits on the edge of a village and comes with a one bedroom gîte, a large barn and a swimming pool. It has gas fired central heating and mains drainage.
The main house lends itself perfectly to operating as a bed & breakfast establishment and, combined with the gîte, this property has great commercial potential.
An impressive entrance hall welcomes visitors with a beamed ceiling and a magnificently restored staircase.
To one side of the entrance hall is a spacious lounge with French Windows opening into the garden and a feature fireplace with a wood burning stove. To the other side is the dining room which is open through to the kitchen which features a range cooker and an array of custom built kitchen units.
Off the kitchen is a rear entrance hall with access into the garden where there is a west-facing dining terrace. There is also a shower room with w.c. and a laundry room.
There are five good sized bedrooms on the first floor, all with beautiful, exposed wooden floorboards. One of these bedrooms is equipped with a free standing bath tub, wash basin and w.c. whilst there are two further shower rooms servicing the other bedrooms.
The staircase continues up to an enormous loft space of around 140m2 and with really good head height…this would lend itself very well to being developed to create additional accommodation.
Attached to the property, a former stable has been converted to create a gîte with an open plan lounge, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor and a bedroom with ensuite facilities on the fist floor.
The grounds surround the property on three sides. To the front is a graveled courtyard with a large stone barn, in really nice condition and still containing the original cattle stalls, with a foot print of around 220m2. To the side and rear are lawned grounds containing a range of mature trees and shrubs including a magnificent horse chestnut tree. There is also a BBQ area adjacent to a 10m by 5m swimming pool with Roman steps. The views to the north east across the wide valley of the River Vienne are quite stunning.
There is easy access to a good road network making it easy to reach the larger towns and cities in the region. The leisure lakes of the Haute Charente are nearby and the nearest local shops, bank, doctor, vets and supermarkets are to be found within a few minutes drive. The property is conveniently located almost midway between the cities of Angoulême to the west, with access to the TGV high speed rail network, and Limoges to the east with its International Airport….both can be reached in around 40 minutes.
