Property Description

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This very handsome, two-storey, former farm cottage lies in the heart of a beautiful village just a stone’s throw from the historic, bustling town of Cognac, and yet its setting, in an enclosed lawned garden surrounded by mature trees and shrubs and with far-reaching views over the church, gives it a tremendous sense of tranquillity. You enter into the heart of the home, a large, vaulted kitchen dining area, with stairs leading to the upper floor and two doorways leading into a light and airy lounge with a traditional stone Charentais fireplace. Behind the kitchen lie a bathroom, a separate WC and the entrance to one of two garages, and a workshop beyond, currently housing the gas boiler. Upstairs, from the mezzanine and landing, there are 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, and a shower room with WC. The existing layout of the rear of the ground floor means that with just a little ingenuity (and subject to the appropriate permissions), the first of the garages and the workshop could easily be converted into a substantial area of additional living space. With its proximity to Cognac, its setting within a pretty Charentais commune, complete with bakery and mini-supermarket, and its flexibility as a dwelling, this delightful house would make a perfect home or even a lock up and leave holiday cottage. There is even a revenue from selling energy generated by the roof-mounted solar panels back to EDF.
