This spacious and characterful stone property, with its private walled courtyard garden, offers a haven of peace and tranquillity in the heart of a picturesque village—home to a traditional bakery and a grand 15th-century Gothic château. Ideally located, it’s just 10 minutes from Rouillac and 15 minutes from Jarnac.
On the ground floor, a generous kitchen-dining room opens onto the southwest-facing garden. This leads through to a light and airy dual-aspect living room with a wood-burning stove and views over the garden. At the rear, you'll find a workshop and storage area, which also serves as a back kitchen. From here, there's access to a laundry room, a downstairs bedroom, a shower room, a garage, and a second, smaller courtyard—perfect for drying laundry.
Two staircases offer flexibility . One staircase leads from the living room to a landing, giving access to two further bedrooms—one with stairs to a mezzanine currently used for storage—a walk-in wardrobe, bathroom, and WC. From this landing, a doorway opens into the property’s most stunning room: a vast stone-walled space with a soaring vaulted ceiling, perfect for entertaining on warm summer evenings. A second landing at the rear leads to a fourth bedroom and the second staircase, which descends to the back of the house.
The delightful courtyard garden is laid to gravel with mature trees, shrubs, and flowering borders. Enclosed by high walls and accessed via a large gate, it offers total privacy.
Ready to move into, this light-filled and airy home, with its warm, welcoming, and slightly quirky labyrinthine layout, is ideal as a permanent residence. Equally, it would make a superb holiday home for a large family seeking a charming base from which to explore all that the beautiful Charente region has to offer
