A renovated stone property with 2 independent houses also fully renovated. Set in a small village close to Ruffec. New electricity, sanitation in the houses and all with heaps of charm and character.

Currently used as private family accommodation, but this 'ensemble' could make a great gite business as the properties are not on top of each other. There are also 2 fine barns with potential for a 4th and 5th habitation. Mature gardens and fruit trees link the main house to the other gites and there is also a separate vegetable garden. The main house has its own private garden area and a beautiful covered terrace dining area. The total plot size is 5734m2.

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.
