Just ten minutes from Villebois-Lavalette — one of the Charente's most beautiful villages, with its medieval château, cobbled streets and lively weekly market — and twenty minutes from Angoulême's TGV station, this 19th-century property reveals itself at the end of a peaceful hamlet.
Through the gate, a beautiful garden planted with cedars and stone pines sets the tone: an elegant home, topped with a traditional tiled roof, that breathes Charentaise authenticity.
Inside, light moves easily through the house. The entrance hall, with its oak staircase, leads to a newly fitted kitchen with central island, a spacious living room with fireplace, a second sitting room, a study, and a beautiful veranda opening onto the grounds — the perfect spot for a morning coffee or a dinner in any season.
Upstairs, a large master bedroom with shower room and dressing room is joined by three further spacious bedrooms, arranged around a generous landing. Two attics and a cellar round out the interior, while the adjoining outbuilding houses the laundry room and workshop.
Outside, the estate takes on a different scale entirely. A second gate opens onto a large enclosed, lawned area, where a cedar-lined driveway leads to four garages. Room enough, one day, for sheep or horses to graze in complete tranquillity.
The vegetable garden and the heated saltwater pool, with its stone terrace and wooden pool house, sit elegantly among trees that lend the garden an almost Tuscan character.
This property charms with its authenticity, its tranquillity, and its sheltered position at the heart of a hamlet — with, in addition, every modern comfort: recently renovated kitchen and bathrooms, gas central heating, double glazing throughout, alarm system, water tank with pump, fibre-optic internet, compliant drainage, and a water softener.
A true family home, in one of the Charente's most beautiful villages.
