Property Description

This gorgeous family home is habitable immediately, however there is still enormous potential to develop it further should you so desire! It is located in the lively and popular village of Chaillac, situated close to the beautiful Brenne National Park, and whilst it is almost in the centre of the town, it is very private with a large front courtyard behind high metal gates, offering ample off-road parking and space to sit. The village has bars, restaurants, cafés, pharmacy, mini-supermarket etc. and is also within easy reach of the A20, major cities and airports (Limoges and Poitiers), and only three hours to Paris by train.

The property has been extensively and tastefully renovated, whilst preserving its character, original beams, and beautiful exposed stone walls, and offers on the ground floor an entrance hall, an impressive kitchen which features a combination of freestanding and built-in cupboards, integrated dishwasher and an old fireplace housing the range style cooker, a beautiful large living room with original exposed stone walls, high ceiling beams, tiled flooring, large windows and French doors, a generously proportioned dining room with exposed stone walls and original wooden flooring, and which is a great space for entertaining, easily accommodating a large dining table, sofa and chairs, plus cocktail cabinet and buffet! There is also a large utility room that has a sink and some fitted units as well as plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher, and plenty of space for other appliances and storage. Also on the ground floor are 2 large bedrooms, one with a small adjoining room that would be ideal as a dressing room, or another en suite bathroom as the services are just the other side of the outside wall, however the owner currently uses this as a further small double bedroom. The other large double has an en suite shower room and toilet, as well as lovely views over the rear garden, and there is also a separate family bathroom with toilet.

On the first floor there is a further large bedroom with en suite shower room and toilet, which is light and airy and features original exposed beams. Beyond this, off the landing, there is a considerable attic space with high wooden beam structures. This space would be ideal for further first floor en suite bedrooms, or even apartments if so desired, presenting the ideal opportunity for someone wishing to develop a business here (subject to necessary permissions).

From the dining room French doors lead to a magnificent landscaped garden of around 1,400m2 wrapping around the rear of the property, where you will find a bespoke summer kitchen with large butler sink, oak storage cupboards, oak and marble worktops, shelving, electric sockets and lighting. There is also space for several appliances.

The garden has an abundance of old fruit trees, magnificent specimen trees and lawns. Borders are mainly laid to shrubs and perennials, and there is a patio surrounding the summer kitchen laid with cream stone pavers and surrounded by low lime rendered walls creating an attractive space in which to relax, dine and entertain. There is a separate deck surrounded by fragrant plants and lime rendered walls, and two large wooden pergolas smothered in clematis and wisteria. There are also some old stone outbuildings at the end of the garden and a little shed near the house for storage.

The house is connected to mains drainage and benefits from a central heating system run by an air source heat pump. There is also a large cellar underneath a large section of the property.

This really is a stunning property that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated – don’t miss the opportunity to visit this lovely home!
