Charming Charentaise and Gite

Property Description

Just 8 km from Saintes and 35 minutes from the Atlantic coast at Royan, this beautifully renovated Charentaise home is nestled in the peaceful village of Courcoury. The property offers a rare combination of timeless character, modern comfort, and excellent rental potential. Fully renovated in 2023–2024, it includes two completely independent dwellings: a spacious main house and a separate gîte — each with its own private entrance, garden, and parking area. The main house is full of charm and warmth. The inviting living room features a stunning original fireplace, opening directly onto a bright, spacious kitchen and dining area with views over the large, mature garden. On the ground floor, a generous bedroom with French doors opens onto the garden, complemented by a modern shower room, separate WC, and a wide entrance hall. Upstairs, a vast 32 m² bedroom — easily divided into two separate rooms if desired — is paired with a second contemporary shower room and WC. The renovation has been completed to a high standard throughout, combining period charm with modern convenience: new electrics and plumbing, fully revised roof, new ventilation system, wood-burning stove, air conditioning and air-to-air heat pump installed in 2024, water softener, fibre internet, Verisure security system, and mains drainage. No further work is required. The adjoining gîte, also fully renovated, offers total independence. It features a comfortable bedroom on the ground floor, and a bright open-plan living space upstairs with kitchen, dining, and lounge areas, plus a modern shower room and separate WC. The gîte benefits from its own private, secluded outdoor area — perfect for guests or short-term rentals. Set on 2,000 m² of land, including a peaceful wooded area, this is a rare opportunity to own a character-filled, move-in-ready home with built-in rental flexibility, just a short drive from the coast and all the amenities of Saintes.
