This lovley villa is set in the most idyllic rural location in the southern Charente, just 2 minutes from the pretty market town of Chalais with its impressive château. There is a bright atmosphere throughout the house and the layout is ideal for entertaining. The property has been carefully restored with style and taste using the finest quality materials (the current owner is an interior and garden designer and the mother of a succesful Paris artist ).

Offering around 155m² of accommodation and a wealth of charm and character (stone fireplaces, exposed beams and timber, original tiles........) over two floors, although the loft has ample scope for development as does the ground floor area which is presently used for storage and utilities.

Outside, there is a sunken garden, large patio with barbecue, ideal for alfresco summer meals. The garden has been designed and planted by Catherine in a traditional manner to highlight the existing mature trees and shrubs, 3000m².

Less than an hour from Bordeaux and only 30 minutes from Angouleme and its airport which is serviced by Ryan Air.

The villa was constructed in 1964 and the recent refurbishment has had the benefit of new electrics, plumbing, oil boiler and roof. The fossee septique (independent sewage system) has been checked and maintained.

Taxe fonciere (property rates)800€ per annum
