Located in one of the most beautiful historical villages in the Charente, situated just down the hill from the Chateau and facing the river. The village offers a good range of shops and restaurants including a boulangerie and general store. There are schools in the village with English speaking teachers and the whole village attracts many tourists of all nationalities. The property is approximately 5 minutes from the main RN10 motorway and the airports at Poitiers and Limoges are reached within 40 minutes to Poitiers and just over an hour for Limoges.

This fabulous property has been well converted with no expense spared on the materials and fittings. Your first impression that this is something special is when you are just outside - one side is the Charente river, overlooked by an old convent, and on the other side the large ancient entrance door to the property. Once inside these doors you are in a large attractive courtyard, facing an enormous barn (currently used as the garage) and on one side the old farm house converted to the owner`s accommodation and on the other side is the self-contained stone barn which is the successful B & B business side of the property. The Farmhouse is enhanced on the exterior with balconies reached by a wooden staircase, beautifully highlighted with flowers.

The Farmhouse consists on the ground floor of a lounge, dining room and kitchen. On the first floor is the Master Bedroom and ensuite. There are a further two bedrooms with en suites (which are also used for extra B & B accommodation). With this house is also a Utility/laundry room.

The converted barn B & B business comprises on the ground floor of an entrance hall, Kitchen/Living Room and large Family Bedroom. On the first floor are two bedrooms both with en suites.

Please note that all the contents of the B & B are included in the sale as the current vendor is anxious for the business to be able to continue uninterrupted (they are retiring). It has a large and varied customer base with lots of clients returning year on year. All advertising materials and marketing opportunities will be left in place, and all the bookings for next year can be used by the new owners.

Both properties have new roofs, guttering, electrics and plumbing and there is oil central heating and double glazing throughout. The property was very well insulated at the renovation stage and it has achieved a high energy rating. Also the beams in both properties and barns have been professionally injection treated for wood worm etc with a ten year guarantee with about 5 years left to run. All tap water is treated by a high capacity water purifier.

For summer dining the owners use a sheltered corner of the main house and there is a spacious patio from the kitchen/living room of the business premises leading onto a pretty totally secluded garden with shrubs, flower beds, mature trees and lawned areas.
