A stunning barn conversion in a beautiful location 2kms outside of Verteuil Sur Charente and access to a stream at the bottom of the garden. The barn has been loving restored with infinite attention to detail in the quality of the work and the quality of materials used. The costly, major and time-consuming work is now complete including a new roof, sanitation system, insulated and damp-proof floor, solid oak doors and windows, electric roof windows (velux), new shutters and provision for underfloor heating.

Once finished a light, airy, large family home could be created with lovely views down the gardens to the stream. Within the grounds is an old stone house to renovate from scratch which dates back to 1772. The grounds are walled on 3 sides and the outlook is fantastic to the woodlands in the distance.

The project requires a motived couple or team to complete this exciting development knowing that all the hard work and effort they put in will pay dividends.

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.
