4 Bed Country House for sale
Villebois-Lavalette, Charente, Poitou-Charentes, France
Full Description
On entering the grounds you drive into beautiful courtyard with the house, the barn and the outbuildings nearly encircling you. The feeling of calm and serenity is all around.
The house consists of an entrance, four bedrooms, one with its own en-suite and dressing room, lounge, dining room, kitchen, office and two more bathrooms. The rooms are all spacious and airy, with their high ceilings, large windows and original fireplaces.
The flooring is all original wide oak planks still in excellent condition. There is oil central heating throughout and all original single glazed tall windows. The wonderful curved oak staircase runs from the entrance right up to the attic, where plenty more rooms could be developed.
The large barn has had flooring put down and lighting so that it can be used both as a party area or a games room. In addition there are two more barns and then a set of small outbuildings where chickens and pigs would have been kept.
The cave is the full length of the house and access can be reached from outside or inside the property. It houses the boiler, pool pump and filter, cut wood for the fireplaces and most importantly the wonderful french wine!
The terrace at the back of the house looks out over the swimming pool, 12m x 5m and the garden. Plenty of mature trees, fruit trees, shrubs and roses are all around the garden, which is nearly one hectare in size. There is an area that was designated for vegetable/herb growing and plenty of land for adding a tennis court or starting your own small holding. So much is to appreciate in this hidden gem and missing it is not an option!
