Description: 

THE PROPERTY
The property comprises a fully restored stone Charentaise house believed to date back to the late 18th century. The house offers 250m2 of accommodation.
There is also a stone 17th century cottage which is in need of restoration,  although it had the benefit of a new roof about 12 years ago.
There is a range of substantial stone outbuildings - three car garage [re-roofed in 2007], workshop with power, fuel store, boiler room [with concrete floor], open stone building which could be restored and used as a gite or guest accommodation.

The grounds extend to around 2700 sq metres. They comprise:
A large south-facing enclosed courtyard garden - with lawn, trees and gravelled area. There is a large porch area at the front of the house. Adjacent to the house is a raised gravelled terrace.
A south-facing area of lawn with a variety of fruit trees. This area has magnificent views of vineyards and the countryside beyond. To the rear of this area is a south-facing terrace with access from both the garage and from the parking area outside the courtyard.
A side garden - currently laid to lawn with access from the courtyard. This would make an ideal area for a swimming pool.
