Property Description

Sitting in the very heart of historic Jarnac, is a spacious townhouse retaining many of its original features and now waiting for a new owner to restore it to its former glory. With 6 bedrooms, a lovely private garden and a garage, this handsome house would make the perfect home for professionals and families alike. Double glazed windows and high-walled courtyard garden belie its central location, and there remains a sense of peace, calm and privacy throughout the property. On the ground floor, to either side of the central, unusually light, hallway lie the dining room and lounge, each with tall, corniced ceilings, solid wooden flooring and grand fireplace. To the rear of the house is another space, currently used as a music room and a kitchen, both opening on to the garden. There is also a downstairs WC. On the second floor there are three bedrooms, one en suite and an additional shared WC. The top floor with a further 3 bedrooms and views of the rooftops to front and rear, although long uninhabited, is ripe for conversion and could easily become an attic apartment (subject to necessary permissions), play den for the children or open plan studio for work or recreation. On the other side of the fully enclosed garden is a two-storey annex and garage (which opens on to the street at the rear) providing much sought-after off road parking, two ground floor spaces and a larger one above. Subject to the relevant permissions this building has great potential for commercial or even residential conversion. There is also a large, dry cellar beneath the main house holding the mains gas boiler and leading on to a cave. This house does need some attention, but with a little love and determination it will once again become the magnificent home it was built to be. It is unlikely to be available for long.
