| | Suzanne Barry, Independent Agent, says: | Stroll to the bakers, cafes, restaurants, even the supermarket and live a real french lifestyle in one of the most beautiful small towns in the area.
30 minutes Poitiers airport with flights to London and Birmingham, 50 minutes Angouleme airport. | This quiet, yet sociable and historic small town with it's ancient covered market place, has been long on the travellers routes, but now has been bypassed giving the town a calmer, but still bustling feel.
This elegant property stands at the head of the town, and is believed to incorporate the former ‘relais poste’ for the towns in the days of the royal pigeon post! It has been given a new roof recently with no expense spared, and the stylish nature of the property has been allowed to shine beneath that glass turret!
In addition to the noble house, are a selection of quality outbuildings, incorporating the former stables, post boxes (pigeon roosts), cellars, barns etc etc.
From the street we enter by car through a grand passage way, under the loft and through to the gravelled walled courtyard parking area, surrounded by barns, garaging and former stables. This property has massive potential as the outbuildings could make great apartments or holiday accommodation.
The house itself has a formal entrance hall, with beautiful wood-panelled ceilings and walls, with a charentaise limestone staircase, curving up through the 3 floors, to a beautiful glass topped pyramid turret. Simple yet special features include doorlocks shaped like number so you know which key to use where-no hunting for the right key.
On the ground floor you will find a practical French style kitchen with charentaise fireplace and stone slab floors, which leads off the entrance hall, and in turn then leads through to the dining room, with a small servery room between the two.
Back again through the entrance hall, the other wing of the house incorporates the living rooms, and a front room, currently used as a home office.
There are 2 cellars in the main house, with vaulted ceilings and plenty of room for keeping all that lovely French wine.
On the 1st floor, mirroring the ground floor is a hallway which runs from front to back, and off this are 3 of the bedrooms, 2 of them with ensuite shower rooms with WCs, as well as an independent WC with wash hand basin. The other ‘wing’ has 2 bedrooms, one of these having a beautiful en-suite bathroom with WC.
Up again to the 2nd floor, we have 4 further bedrooms, lots of attic rooms, and with a little elbow grease could become further bedrooms with bathrooms/en-suite facilities-or how about a large games room up here in the big room with the high ceiling?
Outside through the barn is a pleasant green and grassy garden with views towards the countryside to the rear of the high street, and towards the town church.
How about running an upmarket B&B? Here is some real potential for a business and home combination, with plenty of scope for further development. This house has had central heating in the past, but would need a new boiler to function now. All the radiators are still in position.
This unique and very special property will fill you with joy, just come and visit it!
