Set in a village just 10 minutes from the market town of Ruffec with its shops, restaurants and other amenities, this wonderful property offers it all - a characterful and well equipped main house, a separate 'chambre d'amis' (easily transformable into a self-contained gite if required) an in-ground pool, off street parking and a pretty garden.

The main house comprises of a large kitchen with double-height ceiling and stone fireplace, a lovely lounge-diner of nearly 30m2, also with double-height ceiling and stone fireplace, a WC and a downstairs double bedroom with en-suite shower room. On the first floor there is a large double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom.

Across the courtyard is the guest accommodation which is currently set up as two store rooms on the ground floor and a huge double bedroom with en-suite shower room upstairs. The ground floor could easily be turned into a kitchen/lounge/diner thereby creating an entirely independent gite (subject to any necessary permissions).

The courtyard includes the south-facing pool and off-street parking, plus a small storeroom too.

To the rear of the property is a shaded patio area - perfect for eating out in the hot summer days, and a lawned garden too.

The Charente is a great place to start exploring the area - wonderfully 'wallow-able' in the summer, there are plenty of spots for riverside dips, walks and picnics to choose from. Other towns in the area include Sauze-Vaussais, Chaunay, Nanteuil-en-Vallee, Verteuil-sur-Charente, Villefagnan and La Faye.
