Old Water Mill with 4 Bedroom Renovated Mill House on its own Private Island

Property Description

They always say ‘Location, Location, Location’ and never could this be more appropriate for this idyllic former water mill perched on its own private island with the river Charente gracefully passing by over two weirs and through its sluices. The workings of the mill are still in place and are actually in working order. Accessed via a private lane and over a stone bridge the property boasts 5 private islands as well as a garden, courtyard and even a shady, cool glade all on over four acres. The mill house has been tastefully restored to include a fitted kitchen, sitting room, 4 large bedrooms with a shower room and WC on each of the two floors and a fantastic ground floor, attached art studio of 60m². Centrally heated by a wood burner with a radiator system and with a well-water purifier offering crystal clear, clean drinking water.
