Located in the middle of a pretty Charente village, this really is the ideal spot for a bar/restaurant. The current owner has put her heart and soul into the business but running this thriving enterprise on her own has taken its toll. It probably needs an energetic couple now to reap the rewards. The business areas have all been tastefully renovated and there is a house attached. With both the first floor of the bar and the second floor of the house unconverted there is plenty of room for expansion. Offering bed and breakfast accommodation would be an obvious avenue to explore.
The business side of the property consists of a bar area and restaurant which is open-plan, with over fifty square metres of space. It is light and airy with a tiled floor and revealed stone. There is a ground floor wine store. The tiled guests’ toilet is clean and modern as is the professional stainless steel kitchen which the house shares. The latter has two large living rooms with fireplaces, a utility room, two double bedrooms, a dressing room and a modern bathroom. The attic has been insulated and could be converted into two further bedrooms with a bathroom. There is a lovely vaulted cellar.
The walled back garden is completely private and has plenty of space for both outside eating and a vegetable patch. In front is parking for the owners and a sunny terrasse for the clientele.
The village has a baker and post office; the riverside town of Champagne Mouton (ten minutes’ drive) offers small shops and mini-supermarkets. There is a hotel and weekly open-air market.
