Second HouseThis house has been rented out previously and could benefit from some work to refresh/update it.Ground floorThe roadside front door opens into an entrance hall off which is a living room (16.5m2) with a tiled floor, a dining room (29m2), a kitchen (15m2) with terracotta tiled floor and a shower room with a WC (6m2).First floorA first-floor landing serves three bedrooms (11.5m2, 11.5m2 and 14m2), a bathroom (8m2) and a separate WC.

OutbuildingsA very large outbuilding (approximately 250m2 at ground level) is attached to the main house and serves as a link between this property and the second house. Opposite this building are the old office buildings (23m2 and 29m2) which need renovating, and a games room (45m2) with a terracotta tiled floor and an attractive stone chimney.
ExteriorAt the front of the house, an impressive Charentaise gateway leads to the well-designed garden which contains a variety of trees, shrubs and flowerbeds. On one side, and accessible from the long corridor off the entrance hall, is a pretty garden/orchard. Behind the house is a very large plot of land, approximately 10 000m2, which, if the Mairie agrees, could be used as a building plot.
SummaryThis pretty group of buildings would make a superb family home with earning potential or could be a holiday home for several families. At the heart of a village with shops and a school and only 10 minutes by car from the popular riverside market town of Jarnac, with shops, restaurants, facilities and a train station.
