Just a short walk from the shops, cafés and restaurants of Barbezieux, this beautiful former slipper factory has been transformed into an exceptional lifestyle property combining industrial character with contemporary comfort.

The bright loft features generous open-plan living spaces, three bedrooms, a principal suite with dressing room, a mezzanine and a lovely terrace overlooking the enclosed garden.

The independent apartment, currently rented, has its own private entrance and is ideal for long-term rental, holiday accommodation or welcoming family and friends.

Accessed via the garage, the impressive loft offers approximately 110 m² of stylish living space.
The heart of the home is the spacious open-plan living area, where generous volumes, high ceilings and a fully fitted kitchen combine to create a bright and contemporary living environment. Large glazed openings lead directly onto an attractive raised terrace, providing a seamless extension of the living space and an ideal setting for outdoor dining or relaxing.

The accommodation includes three bedrooms, including a principal suite with a dressing room, a family bathroom with both bath and separate shower, and a charming mezzanine that enhances the character and sense of space.

The renovation successfully blends contemporary comfort with the heritage of the original building, creating a unique home full of character.

The independent apartment benefits from its own private entrance directly from the street, ensuring complete privacy and flexibility. It comprises an open-plan kitchen and living room, one bedroom, a study that could also be used as a guest bedroom, a shower room, together with an entrance hall and utility room. The apartement is currently rented generating a revenue of €615 per month not including bills.

The ground floor includes a 50 m² garage together with several adjoining rooms offering outstanding development potential.

Subject to any necessary permissions, these spaces could be converted into:
a third independent dwelling, an artist's studio, offices or professional premises, workshops or additional accommodation extending the existing loft.

This exceptional flexibility is undoubtedly one of the property's greatest assets, allowing future owners to adapt the space to suit their lifestyle or investment plans.
