Situation: Beautiful East Charente 16310, at the edge of a quiet hilltop hamlet, off the beaten track, surrounded by nature, forest and lovely countryside, within walking distance of a village with a bakery & bar-restaurant and a cycle-ride from a market town; approx. 35mins from Angouleme (TGV); c45mins to Limoges Airport. Description: This stone cottage & barn date back to approx. 1800 and they are in reasonable general order having been basically but properly renovated during the '90's but are now in need of some work; the cottage is rustically habitable. The roof was redone entirely in the 90's and looks generally sound but has a fair few slipped/cracked tiles and a bit of moss: a clean/review would be advised. The property hasn't been lived in for a while and the wooded plot has become overgrown; a decent brush-cutter is required! It would not take much effort to make this property into a superb holiday home/permanent residence - it is perfect for those wishing to get away from it all! The cottage is full of original character, including: oak beams; wooden flooring throughout and some gorgeous jointed stone walls; it benefits from approx. 105m2 habitable space (with the potential to expand into the barn) and is laid out as follows: Ground Floor: The large rear terrace (approx.30m2) that overlooks the wooded plot, is shaded by a mature wisteria growing over an old pergola. The terrace gives onto the kitchen and the Entrance Hall (2.3m2) with doors to the Laundry (3.3m2), the Bathroom (6.9m2 bath, basin, WC) and the Sitting Room (18.9m2) with its impressive stone hearth; door to kitchen and Bed 1 (12.5m2) with basic Ensuite Shower (2.4m2 shower, basin, WC); Large Kitchen-Diner-Living Room (37m2) with lovely quarry tile floor, bespoke rustic kitchenette with rounded brick hood, ceramic sink, gas hob and fitted oven. At the other end of the room a cathedral roof shows off, to maximum effect, a fabulous double-height chimney breast with a magnificent stone Charentaise Fireplace & wood-burner; the cherry on the cake is an old stone sink with a bulls-eye window and an original fitted cupboard. This central hub of a room has a door to the barn, the sitting room, the front garden/parking area & the back terrace; it also has bespoke stairs leading to: 1st Floor: Mezzanine Gallery over the kitchen (19.5m2 at floor level with c12m2 at good height), door to 2 twinned Attic Rooms (plaster-boarded but to finish- no windows/velux possible), suitable for stotage or guest/kids rooms: At standing height (only in the middle of the rooms) both rooms are around 9m2 but with a lot more useable floor space, in the second room there is an ensuite WC/basin. Technical Details: Septic Tank in need of replacement; Roof Review required; Single Glazing; Wooden Shutters; 2 Fire-places+ Wood-burners; some roof and wall Insulation; modern electric 200L water heater; Central Extract System; Energy Report N/A Outbuildings: The large attached stone Barn of approx. 98m2 is double-height and has some fabulous oak timbers; it could be used to increase living space or to convert into a gite (or two) and/or Workshop/Garage. Land: 2933m2 (c3/4 acre): the property is set back from a little lane with ample space for off-road parking and a garden; the plot to the rear is wooded with some mature trees and overgrown but is beautiful, peaceful and bursting with nature. ** 75 600 € Fees included | 70 000 € Excluding fees | Fees : 8.00% TTC at the expense of the purchaser Our fees Diagnosis Energy diagnosis No
