Character House

Property Description

Located in a peaceful hamlet near Montbron, in eastern Charente, this large, characterful property, requiring complete renovation, offers an exceptional living environment in the heart of the countryside, while remaining close to amenities. Elegantly overlooking its approximately 1.3 hectares of wooded grounds, the manor house – an authentic 19th-century Charentaise residence – offers nearly 470 m² of living space spread over three levels, with generous proportions, multiple reception rooms, and up to nine bedrooms. Its period features, such as stone fireplaces, parquet floors, and high ceilings, lend the property undeniable charm and significant restoration potential. Accessed via a private driveway, the house opens onto a spacious entrance hall which leads to several living and dining rooms, a kitchen, an office, and various service rooms. The reception rooms are bright, opening onto the garden and surrounding countryside, creating a warm and authentic atmosphere. The first floor comprises six bedrooms, all with views. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms and a large attic, allowing for further development. Adjoining the house are two barns with a total area of approximately 215 m², offering numerous possibilities: garage, workshop, storage space, or further conversion projects. The property is perfectly suited to a family, tourism, or business project: a bed and breakfast, gîtes, artist residency, hospitality venue, or large holiday home. The one-hectare grounds, featuring lawns, mature trees, and wooded areas, slope gently down in front of the house, offering beautiful views of the surrounding countryside. Additional land can be acquired as needed. A unique property due to its size, charm and potential, this emblematic residence in the Charente region represents a unique opportunity to breathe new life into a place steeped in history, in a serene and green environment.
