A stately entrance gate gives you access to the beautiful courtyard of this beautiful property with its authentic 'pigeonnier' and no less than 400m² of outbuildings in good condition.
The main house, built in 1764, is impressive and charming at the same time. Inside, many authentic elements have been preserved, such as the oak floors and wooden beams, beautiful natural stone fireplaces, old, tiled floors in very good condition and a unique floor in the kitchen that was made with small stones (cœur de demoiselles) in various patterns. The pigeonnier, which flanks this beautiful house, as well as the outbuildings in L shape, where cognac was once produced, (the wine press and a barrel for maturing the 'eau de vie' are still silent witnesses to this) give character and status to the estate.
Grand yet cosy, this is how this house feels overall. There are 7 bedrooms, including an impressive 40m² master suite, 4 bathrooms, an original kitchen, a spacious dining room and a lounge bathed in light from which you also have access to the large garden with swimming pool. The property covers 5800m² and is fully walled, so despite being on the edge of a village centre you still have a feeling of 100% privacy.
Walking distance from the village with all amenities and just 15 minutes from Angoulême, with its TGV station and fast connection to Paris and Bordeaux. Easy access to the N10, which takes you to Bordeaux airport in 1hr15min or provides access to a wide range of commercial centres nearby.
Angoulême is a lively city, where it is nice to stay and where there is something to do all year round. Cosy streets with lots of nice restaurants and bars, a lively covered market hall where you can taste the local delicacies, an authentic old part of town with several historical gems and in terms of cultural events, Angoulême is the place to be with its famous festivals such as 'circuit des remparts', Festival de la BD, festival of the French-speaking film and Les Gastronomades. The proximity of such a nice city makes living in the Sud-Charente all the more attractive!
