Have you watched the video yet? - We present to you a very rare opportunity to buy a little slice of history. We are delighted to offer you a 17th century property on the ramparts of the city, once part of the Chateau defences of the old town of Ruffec but now it is a very comfortable 4 reception room and 5 bedroom town house tucked away with 2 private courtyard gardens. Despite being in a very quiet and no-through road the property is a short walk into the town centre where a twice weekly market is held. The property is in very good order and has huge potential to use as a Bed and Breakfast whilst retaining private accommodation for the owners. 2 staircases and two landings allow for flexible living whether for a B&B or large family home. Half of the roof has been replaced in 2021 and in 2017 a new sanitation system had been installed. - Ground floor : Entrance 18m2 Original tiled floor, cupboard, exposed stone wall, access to West courtyard gardens.

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.
