Summary
Property with character but also eco-friendly with loft insulation recently installed and a pompe a chaleur option for the central heating. The farmhouse is situated in a quiet street near the centre of a working village - Macqueville.
Details
Period stone-built farmhouse situated in a quiet street of a small working village (300 inhabitants) boasting a shop/bar/newsagent/post office/restaurant, hairdressers – male and female, surrounded by vineyards – 20 minutes’ drive from Cognac and 1½ hours’ drive to the coast (La Rochelle, Royan, etc).
The house has a large 120m² courtyard to the front and 230m² garden area, all surrounded by its original stone-built wall, with two stone-built outbuildings and a well (useful for watering in the summer months!). Adjoining the rear of the property is a 100m² barn with large doors opening on to the side road.
The property has been completely re-roofed with new trusses (photographic history available) and two years ago has had the benefit of insulation installed by an EDF nominated firm – guaranteed for 10 years. Originally having gas central heating installed, in 2010 a ‘pompe a chaleur’ has also been installed allowing cheaper, eco-friendly heating.
The house comprises:
Ground Floor
Entrance hall 6m long x 2m wide, with stairs to first floor and featuring an original stone alcove with stone sink, doorway to the right leading to:
Large 30m² fully-fitted kitchen/dining room featuring original Charentaise fireplace, with French doors opening on to a small, raised patio area at the front of the property
Doorway to the left leading to:
Large 30m² lounge area featuring insert log-burner, an original potagiere and alcove, with French doors leading to a marble-tiled patio area at the front of the property.
All the ground floor area has original oak beams throughout.
First Floor
Spacious, well lit landing area (6m x 2m) with shower room/toilet at the top of the stairs, leading on the left to:
Small passage with fitted wardrobes opening into the master bedroom 24m² with en suite newly refurbished bathroom (walk-in shower, WC, washbasin and useful linen cupboard).
On the right to:
Large undefined room 30m² with partitioned room – which leads straight on to Bedroom 2 (15m²) which has original oak beams, and to the right is an extension into the barn area with Bedroom 3 (10m²), shower room with electric shower, wash basin, bidet and separate WC.
In addition, a set of French doors, from the courtyard, leads into (centrally-heated) 15m² workshop area. This lends itself to an easy conversion for a separate self-contained flat if used in conjunction with the Bedrooms 2 and 3 and the ‘undefined’ room.
