OCM312 -- HOUSE AND GITES WITH SWIMMING POOL (372,750 EUR) -- 16. Charente
== last update on April 3, 2006, 12:56 pm ==
	This unusual and very attractive single storey house is situated in a secluded corner of a small hamlet of just 5 properties. It stands in generous enclosed gardens and enjoys a good degree of privacy. The house is designed so that the majority of the rooms face the rear patio and swimming pool, beyond which there are beautiful uninterrupted views towards the southwest and west over a wooded valley.
This house was originally a farmhouse, but it has been altered over the years to accommodate several generations of the same family and has two semi-separate apartments in addition to the main house. The centrepiece of the property is a magnificent reception room of 70 mē, with three sets of French windows, an impressive stone fireplace and a beamed ceiling. A 30 mē sunroom/ conservatory leads off this room to the rear garden and pool. The remainder of the main house accommodation comprises a fitted kitchen, 4 double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with corner bath and separate shower cubicle. The two apartments each comprise a sitting room with fireplace, fitted kitchen, double bedroom and bathroom. In addition one has a utility room and the other has a wine cellar. Access from the main house to the appartments is via interconnecting doors. Outside there is a sunny patio and a 12 x 6 metre pool set in generous gardens. Beyond the garden is a meadow extending to 6000mē or (around 1.5 acres). Further land may be available to purchase. Workshop/storeroom. Stone built barn measuring 100 mē. The property has been well maintained and is ready for occupation. It has in recent years been let as a holiday home, but it would make an excellent family home with potential letting income from the appartments. Alternatively, the appartments could easily be incorportated into the main house to form a very spacious home.
