Whilst being walking distance to the market town of Aigre, this property offers scope for extension and has land to the rear for grazing.

The house is on one level with the front door opening into a kitchen / diner which leads to a lounge at the back and to the two bedrooms and bathroom at the side. The corridor between the bedrooms leads to a door which opens into the arch way leading from the front to the rear of the property. At the other other side of this is a large barn giving ample scope for further accommodation.

To the back of the house and barn is a field with the garden to the front of the house.

The property is located close to all amenities being walking distance to Aigre. It is habitable at the moment but with the land at the back and barn to convert, has a lot of scope for further development.

This charming village house is tucked away, just off the village square. With two bedrooms, scope to enlarge, a swimming pool and an edge-of-village setting, this would make a great holiday home or permanent residence.

House

The front door opens into a pretty kitchen (16 sq m) with tiled floor, fireplace with wood-burning stove and a beamed ceiling. To the rear of this room, a part-glazed door opens into a shower room with WC and plumbing for a washing machine.

To the right of the kitchen, a door opens into the living room (25 sq m) with tiled floor, fireplace and exposed beam ceiling. In one corner, a wooden staircase rises to the first floor.

First floor

At the top of the stairs is a landing, off which are two bedrooms (about 20 sq m each) with exposed stone walls and beams (some of which are low). There is also an upstairs bathroom with bath, WC and washbasin, off which is a storage area. It would be simple matter to create a third bedroom by reducing the size of one of the exisiting rooms.

Outbuildings

To one side of the house are two large outbuildings (with new a roof) which could be suitable for conversion into additional living space if required. To the right of the house is a small open barn which would make a wonderful additional sitting room, perhaps with glazed doors opening into the courtyard.

Garden

The plot covers about 2000 sq m. To the front of the house is an attractive gravelled courtyard. Beyond this (and fenced off) is pool area with pool, terrace and covered terrace as well as some lawn. From here a gate opens into a third area of land which runs off into the countryside.

This is a pretty cottage in an attractive location which would suit many house hunters.

This "corps de ferme" is currently a registered as a Chambres d'Hotes with Gites de France.

Only 12km from the market town of Aigre, this property is located in a small village in an extremely attractive area of the Charente.

The property now consists of the main house and three self-contained letting rooms as well as plenty of barn space for further converiosn if required.

Main house

Ground floor

The front door opens into the kitchen/dining room (32 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling and large stone charentaise fireplace. A door from the kitchen opens into a utility room (about 10 sq m) with WC. Glazed doors lead from the dining area to and attractive covered terrace and the garden. The sitting room (29 sq m) is off the dining area and has a tiled floor, exposed beam ceiling, exposed stone walls and a large stone charentaise fireplace. Between the kitchen/dining room and the sitting room is a large feature "alsace" wood stove made of decorative ceramic blocks.

First floor

The stairs rise to a small landing off which are two very large bedrooms (31 sq m and 35 sq m). Both rooms have feature stone walls. Also off the landing is a large bathroom (bath, shower, washbasin and WC) with exposed beams and stone wall. The larger bedroom also has a door into the bathroom.

First letting room

Reached from the covered terrace, the first letting room consists of a living room (25 sq m) with mezzanine sleeping area (15 sq m) with a shower room. The living room has exposed stone walls and an attractive charentaise stone fireplace. There is a wine cellar beneath.

Barn

Forming one side of the courtyard is a huge barn. Part of this has been converted to provide habitable accommodation. On the ground floor there is a living room (31 sq m) with tiled floor, exposed stone wall, exposed beam ceiling, working bread oven and a kitchen area. On the first floor are two large interconnecting bedrooms (each accessible via separate staircases) and a shower room with WC. Also in the barn is a laundry room, an office, a boiler room, a large games room (90 sq m) and a room currently used as a workshop as well as some "barn".

Gardens

To the front of the main house is a very attractive covered terrace that overlooks the courtyard garden. To the other side of the barn and reached either via the games room or via parking area to the side of the barn is a walled garden with far-reaching views. In total the plot covers about 235 sq m.

This is an unusual bed and breakfast as the owner has provided separate (and comfortable) living rooms for the guests and has managed to maintain the privacy of the owner's accommodation. There is plenty of scope for extending the letting accommodation if required.

Village house for renovation with all the basics in place (mains drainage, water and electricity)

This little village house is set in a small courtyard with a number of outbuildings. The house is in need of renovation to make it habitable, but there is mains drainage, water and electricity to the site.

House

The house is on two floors, each consisting of one room. The ground floor is divided into two spaces by a large arch, the two areas covering 34 sq m. There is a fireplace to one side. The first floor, accessed via a ladder, consists of one room (34 sq m) with a fireplace. There is an outside WC.

Courtyard

A number of buildings a placed around the courtyard consisting of barns, open barns, a "summer" room with glazed doors to a lawned area, a room (with fireplace) and a garage. The garage and the room with a fireplace are attached and could therefore be combined into a larger habitable space. There is, therefore, scope to increase the living space.

Swimming Pool: No
Situation: Village Setting
State of repair: Renovation

This contemporary house, set high above the river, has fine and far-reaching views.

Approached via a long private drive, the house is set on a hill overlooking the valley below.

House

The front door opens into a tiled entrance hall. To the right a door opens into a WC and to the left a glazed door opens into the modern, fitted kitchen (12.5 sq m) with tiled floor and glazed door to the side terrace. To the rear of the hall a pair of glazed doors open into the living room (30 sq m). This light room has a tiled floor, fireplace and a pair of glazed doors to the rear terrace and the garden beyond.

Further down the hall are three good-size bedrooms (13 sq m, 14.5 sq m and 12 sq m), an airing cupboard and a bathroom (bath, shower, washbasin, WC and bidet). At the end of the hall a door opens into the former garage (18.5 sq m) which now has a tiled floor and is used as a laundry/ store room and which could, with little difficulty, be converted into additional living accommodation if required (subject to any declarations/planning permissions).

Garden

The house sits on a plot of about 5800 sq m. To the rear there is a terraced area, a detached garage and a large lawned area with a vegetable garden to the rear. Whilst the plot is sloping, there is plenty of land suitable for a pool. To the front of the house there is a parking area and a terrace with barbeque area - the rest of the land is laid to lawn with a number of specimen trees. There are some very fine views across the valley.

To the side of the house is an external cellar which also houses the pump for the bore-hole. This provides water year-round, with water taps dispersed in the garden to make watering easier. There is also an electricity point provided halfway along the drive to provide electricity for garden equipment (e.g. hedge trimmer) without the need for an extremely long extension cord.

This comfortable house has been well maintained and would make a great permanent or holiday home.
