All the best of the old and the greenest of new; character with warmth; a perfect blend. Ready to move into this comfortable three bedroomed house has planning consent to extend into the barn if the new owner wants a challenge by moving this project on. There is no obligation to do so, unlike many of the “unfinished projects” we see.
At the moment the main entrance is into the heart of the house, the kitchen dining area. This has a rare cobbled Charantais stone floor; exposed oak beams, stone fireplace, feature sink and potager (the original slow cooker). Fully fitted the kitchen has a range of units including the oven and hob. The floor is sealed, but unlike the rest of the house has not had underfloor insulation added. The windows and door are new double glazed units. The living room is a snug for the winter, and is brought into the garden with the sun awning above the door in the summer. From here you can step down to the the utility room, downstairs WC, and the guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom. The advantage here is an external door. It is from the utility area that access to the new “conversion” in the barn is planned. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, both with en-suite shower-rooms.
The house has been completely re-wired, re-plumbed, new double glazed windows and doors throughout, insulated floors roof and some external walls. The heating is either low energy electricity or wood-burning stoves. A new large septic tank has been fitted conforming to the current regulations and allowing for two additional bedrooms to be added in the barn. The external rendering is all new.
The garden surrounds the house, with the greater part is to the front and side. The land dips down to a small valley and stream and some of the woodland beyond belongs as well. The village has a bar, but it is only 4 km to Champagne Mouton with a small range of shops, excellent restaurant/hotel and weekly market. © |
