Have you watched the video yet? - Impressive Town House situated in one of the most sought-after villages in the Charente.

Previously a few years ago this was a cafe and is ideally situated in the heart of the village for another business opportunity. The layout also lends itself to living in one side and renting out the other, or it could simply a main home or second home. Lots of possibilities.

The property needs modernising throughout (kitchen, bathroom, electrics, most of the windows, decor etc) but it has mains drains and the roof was new in 2016.

To the rear of the property there is an inner (enclosed) courtyard, a stone outbuilding, and access on foot to the Moulin and the river Charente.

Kitchen (22m2) Sink unit. Tiled floor (wooden floor below). Stairs to the first floor

Cellar 1 (20m2) WC, hot water tank and a side door to the rear of the property and access on foot to the outbuilding and river

The department of Charente is located in the centre-west of France and is part of the Poitou-Charentes region along with Deux Sevres, Charente Maritime and the Vienne department.

Its name as is often the case comes from the river Charente which snakes through the department. Two local dialects are spoken in the area, Saintongeais in the west and Occitan to the east.

Charente is a thriving department for several reasons, Cognac production is one of the most interesting and profitable industries, the export level of approx. 95% is a success, the consumption in France being only 5% (some say they keep the best 5% in France!).

The department has many typical towns, Angouleme in the south east for example hosts an international festival that attracts hundreds of visitors and is not to be missed.

The region is popular with hikers, bikers and nature lovers who like to discover the woodlands, lakes and streams that are part of this amazing landscape.
