Superb 17th Century House - 4 Bedrooms, Magnificent Garden, Steps from the City Centre

Property Description

Ref. 16010393228 Exclusive - An absolutely magnificent 17th-century property, situated in a very quiet part of town, with views over the rooftops, yet only a few minutes' walk from the town center.

This property has recently undergone a complete renovation, including the roof, a superb and spacious kitchen, double glazing, and redecoration, while retaining the exceptional character of the house.

On the ground floor, a grand entrance hall leads to a spacious living room with a fireplace/pellet stove and beautiful original parquet flooring. There is also a second sitting room/study (with French doors opening onto the lovely rear courtyard), including the original built-in wardrobe and a fireplace/wood-burning stove.

At the end of the hallway, you enter the dining room, which again features French doors leading to the courtyard, beautiful stone flooring, one of the property's two staircases, and a pellet stove.

Beyond the dining room is the very large, contemporary kitchen/dining room, offering fantastic views of the surrounding countryside, as well as a utility room, a WC, and a good-sized study/library (which could also be used as a ground-floor bedroom).

The property has two staircases, offering great flexibility should you be considering a bed and breakfast business. The first-floor landing leads to four double bedrooms and a large fitted dressing room.

The bedrooms retain their original parquet flooring, have high ceilings, and are bright, with superb views of both the town and the countryside. There is also a large family bathroom with a bath, separate shower, and WC. Additionally, there is a shower room shared between two of the bedrooms, and two separate WCs.

The property benefits from double glazing, fiber optic internet, a compliant septic tank, and magnificent views.

Outside, the property offers two large outdoor spaces. At the front, there is a magnificent, mature walled garden, a large terrace, a garden shed, and a gate providing access to private parking. At the rear, a superb, fully enclosed courtyard extends the entire length of the property, along with a workshop/woodshed.

The property is within walking distance of the charming village of Ruffec, which offers numerous shops, cafes, restaurants, and a train station. It offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful and beautiful setting while being just a stone's throw from the town center.

Viewing highly recommended.
