Great potential for this detached 2 property which sits in a beautiful garden of around three-quarters of an acre. It has 2 garages, some small stone outbuildings and an additional outbuilding across the road with a woodstore.

All the accommodation is currently on the ground floor but there is an attic space which lends itself to being converted and could easily facilitate 2 bedrooms and one or two bathrooms. Access to a roof terrace from here makes it an even more interesting project.

Some work is required to continue the modernisation of the downstairs but the property is habitable and comfortable. It is suitable either as a holiday home or as a permanent residence, and can be sold furnished.

Drainage is by way of a septic tank conforming with current regulations.

The property is in a small, quiet hamlet but only 7km from the nearest village with commerce.

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.
