This is a superb "maison d'maitre". Fully refurbished with no expense spared. Set on the edge of Angouleme in it's own walled garden of 3000m² this is one of the finest examples of it's kind anywhere. If you want country style and the convenience of town life then this house is for you. As you enter this property standing in front of you are three storeys of magnificent house.
Up the stone steps to the front door and you enter the house. There you are in the hallway with your first glimpse of the interior and the gardens beyond. To the right is a snug lounge TV room, with built in storage and french doors to the terrace that runs the length of the house overlooking the gardens and pool.
To the left is the fully equipped kitchen, with all fittings to remain. Pass on through and take a breath to prepare yourself for the main lounge. Set over three levels and covering some 80m² it is stunning. All the floors throughout are reclaimed, as are the fireplaces and oak doors.
As you enter the lounge, to the right, is a dining area with glass balcony bringing the outside in to the house. Everywhere in this property is flooded with light and air.
From the lounge and down some steps is a vaulted celler, the ideal place to store your wine.
Also running under the house is another cellar divided into 3 rooms. This includes a laundry room, for the maid, that has it's own access from outside and a laundry chute from the house. At the rear of the property is a wing that includes a summer kitchen, shower and toilet and a bedroom that can be shut off from the main house as guest accomodation.
The first floor has 2 bedrooms and a study area and a balcony overlooking the lounge. The second floor has a further 2 bedrooms and a bathroom.
The whole property benefits from double glazing and central heating.
The gardens are on 2 levels and consist of a pool with childrens paddling pool that flows like a waterfall into a 12x6m pool. At the side of the house is a 200m² barn for all workshop and storage needs.
