Cottage to renovate with 2 attached garages, 2 barns and further outbuildings to develop and all with an attached garden

This is ideal for anyone looking for a renovation project with gites in mind; the cottage makes a great starting point. Situated in the centre of a pretty Charente village with baker, bar/general store and post office and very close to the lakes. Great views from the garden. Under 45 minutes from Limoges and 10 minutes from the medieval town of Rochechouart.

The little cottage is effectively a 1 up 1 down with an attic above. You enter into the kitchen with original fireplace at the rear. Alongside is staircase, with access to the garage at the back. On the 1st floor, there is simply 1 room with stairs to the attic above. To the right, there are 2 garages which could be converted to enlarge the cottage. The cottage has power and water connected (but cut) and can be connected to main drains that runs just outside the front gate. A complete re-wire is required though. Part of the roof was re-done in 2000 but the other part does now require some attention.

Almost opposite the house you have a series of piggeries and barns all of which offer perfect conversion potential, whether to create full blown living accommodation or perhaps a wonderful summer kitchen and BBQ area. Then, the large, full height barn of approx. 180m2 which the Mairie has confirmed is convertable. The garden extends to the left and rear of the barn and although very overgrown at the moment offers wonderful views onto the rolling countryside beyond.

DPE : This property does not have a fixed heating system

Location in France

The Charente department is home to over 340,000 inhabitants and is located in the south-east of Poitou-Charentes. The countryside offers a unique and varied environment for walkers and mountain bikers from rolling hills in the east to a flatter landscape in the west. The northern area is wild with deep forests and peaks reaching to over 1000ft. The Charente has long relied on agriculture to fuel its economy. In the 18th Century, however, the department started mass producing its infamous Cognac drink, which proved extremely popular with people from all over the world.
The department is very well situated for expatriates looking to purchase French property here, with great roads down to the Charente and the Channel ports just a short days drive away. The department has access to Poitiers, La Rochelle, Bordeaux, Bergerac and Limoges airports, all within 2 hours. Furthermore, in the centre of the department you will be able to fly from either Gatwick or Stanstead direct to the Angouleme Champniers-Brie airport .
Angouleme is a small yet cosmopolitan city, with a fairly dynamic feel about the place when compared to the neighbouring Dordogne or Haute Vienne. It hosts a lot of events such its vintage car racing (the Circuit des Remparts) which takes place in September , the cartoon festival in January and a great music scene which just seems to get better every year . Both Cognac and Confolens have annual festivals which attract tourists to the area.
The Charente has an immensely varied countryside bordering 5 departments, famous for both its Cognac vineyards in the west, and its Limousin beef production in the east, which in terms of scenery are worlds apart. The valley of the Charente River meanders down from Ruffec in the north through Angouleme onto Jarnac and Cognac. Confolens in the East of the department is situated on the banks of the majestic River Vienne, this area being known as the Charente Limousine, and is extremely popular with expatriates because it looks and feels like the UK. The south of the county which borders the Charente Maritime has a much better climate but less undulating scenery.
