A Beautifully Renovated Charentaise Farmhouse in an Exceptional Setting

Situated in a peaceful rural location just two minutes from Blanzac (16250), this beautifully renovated and exceptionally well-presented Charentaise farmhouse offers a wonderful combination of timeless character, modern comfort and remarkable versatility.

The property has undergone extensive renovation and is now presented in superb condition – quite simply, a home that is ready to move into and enjoy. Double glazing, underfloor heating in the kitchen and highly efficient modern electric heating, which can be controlled remotely, ensure comfort throughout the year.

Original features abound, and great care has been taken to preserve the character and charm of this wonderful country house. Beautiful architectural details have been retained wherever possible, creating a home with genuine personality and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

The House

The ground floor offers an exceptionally flexible arrangement of living and entertaining spaces.

A large and beautifully appointed family dining kitchen provides the heart of the home, complemented by a cosy sitting room with wood-burning stove. There is also a ground-floor double bedroom with a shower room conveniently situated next door.

A further reception room, currently used as a sitting room, could equally be used as a formal dining room, study or additional living space. At the opposite end of the house is a fully equipped summer kitchen with its own shower room – an especially practical addition for enjoying the pool and terrace during the warmer months.

Three steps lead up into the gym area, with direct access to the pool and terrace. From the gym, stairs lead to a further room currently used as a storeroom. With relatively little work, this could readily become a fifth bedroom, home office, studio or guest room, adding even greater flexibility to the accommodation.

The main staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three exceptionally spacious double bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom with a beautiful slipper bath.

Importantly, there are no headroom issues upstairs. Unlike many traditional farmhouse properties, where low beams can sometimes restrict the usable space, this house benefits from excellent ceiling height throughout the first floor.

Outside

The exterior of this property is every bit as impressive as the interior.

A large courtyard provides ample parking and leads to a very substantial secure barn, a further open barn currently used as a wood store, and a single garage. There is excellent storage and outbuilding space, making the property particularly appealing to those looking for room for vehicles, equipment, hobbies or future projects.

The pool area is a true highlight. Spacious and beautifully positioned, it enjoys stunning, uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. The slightly elevated position of the property creates a wonderful outlook and a real sense of space and tranquillity.

The pool was installed by a reputable local company and is professionally serviced annually by the same installer. It benefits from a pool heater, if required, together with an electric roller cover providing excellent security.

The mature gardens also offer some delightful features. At the far end are a number of old pigsties which could offer further potential uses, perhaps potting sheds? A magnificent mature fig tree produces an abundance of fruit each year, while the generous grapevine growing along the outer wall provides another plentiful harvest.

A large rainwater recuperation tank is an extremely useful feature, providing an excellent reserve of water which can also be used to top up the pool.

Location

Despite its peaceful countryside setting, the property is remarkably convenient for local amenities, being just a couple of minutes from Blanzac. The principal town of the Charente, Angoulême, is approximately 25 minutes by car, providing a wide range of shops, restaurants, schools and services.

There is a local bus service in Blanzac and the nearest train station is at Montmoreau.
In Summary

This is a truly exceptional Charentaise property: beautifully renovated, full of original character, exceptionally spacious and wonderfully versatile. The combination of superb accommodation, excellent outbuildings, magnificent pool and terrace, outstanding countryside views and easy access to local amenities makes this a very special home.

Whether as a permanent residence, family home or superb country retreat, this property offers an enviable lifestyle in a beautiful and peaceful setting.

A must-see property – and one that is sure to impress.
