casa for Køb i Nanteuil-en-Vallée, Nueva Aquitania

Here we have something rather special, a two bedroom character property within a short walk to the medieval village of Nanteuil-en-Vallee. Although not necessarily to everybody's demands this property has been restored with ecology, environment and up-cycling in mind. Wood has been used wherever possible and all having been reclaimed. The composting toilet will require emptying and at present there is not a sanitation system installed. However, the garden opposite provides ample space should the new owner wish to install a conventional system. The property has retained is character and charm with its original oak beams, certain walls with exposed stone and although there are fireplaces in both reception rooms it is important to know that they have been capped off at the roof. The current owner carried out the electrical and plumbing work himself and has installed underfloor heating piping, but not connected it to a boiler. Outside is a courtyard to the front, an attached stone barn and opposite is a garden of 330m2. - GROUND FLOOR : Kitchen 21m2 Tiled floor (heat pipe system below), fireplace (capped off at roof) Sitting Room 25m2 Wood floor, fireplace (capped off at roof) - UPSTAIRS : Bedroom 12m2 Wood floor, velux Shower Room 8m2 Tiled floor, shower, hand basin, composting WC Bedroom 20m2 (NB. low doorway), wood floor, sloping ceiling, shower unit - OUTSIDE : Attached stone barn 32m2 with upstairs Stone storerooms South-facing courtyard Garden across the tiny lane. 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.
