Near Angoulême: a beautifully restored 18th-century watermill
What if your next home had a soul? Less than 15 minutes from Angoulême and its high-speed rail station, discover this exceptional 18th-century watermill, fully restored between 2020 and 2024. Beyond the gates lies an enclosed garden of 1,370 m², bordered by the river and the mill channel: a peaceful, timeless setting with no overlooking neighbours.
Offering 338 m² of living space, the property features an impressive 53 m² reception room, a 30 m² family kitchen, five bedrooms including a ground-floor principal suite, and a spectacular 75 m² lounge-library with exposed stonework and a cathedral ceiling. Terraces, fruit trees, a well, small river islands, a garage and covered outbuildings complete this unique retreat.
The roof, heating, electrics, plumbing, windows and façades have all been renovated. Historic charm meets modern comfort with a water-source heat pump, fibre internet and mains drainage. A rare, non-flooding riverside property where every day feels like an escape.
The property’s automated gate opens onto a lovely, west-facing park with mature trees, leading you to the entrance of this mill, which comprises, on the ground floor:
- Spacious entrance hall (12m²)
- A large, light-filled living room (53m²), double-aspect with a wood-burning insert, opening onto the front and rear terraces of the property
- A 30m² kitchen-diner, also double-aspect, with a pellet stove
- A toilet with washbasin (6m²)
- A 30m² master suite comprising a large bedroom and an en-suite shower room with a walk-in shower and WC
- A large 40m² utility room with a water-to-water heat pump, a thermodynamic hot water tank and a water softener
The first floor comprises:
- 3 bedrooms (22m², 20m² and 18m²), one of which has an en-suite shower room of 7m²
- 1 bedroom or study of 14m² opening onto a large 75m² lounge/library area featuring exposed stonework and a cathedral ceiling
- Shower room (5m²) with shower and WC
The outdoor areas complement the high standard of finish throughout this property, featuring a rear terrace overlooking the canal – which could still power a turbine today – numerous fruit trees, a working well, small islands along the riverbank, various lean-tos and a garage
Ideally situated in a protected setting less than 15 minutes from Angoulême town centre and its high-speed rail station (1 hour 45 minutes to Paris and 40 minutes to Bordeaux), this rare property – unique due to its history and high-quality renovation – is sure to appeal to all lovers of nature and historic buildings; a true little corner of paradise on the banks of a non-flood-prone river
The mill was fully restored between 2020 and 2024 (roof, electricity, plumbing, heating, façade, shutters, joinery, etc.)
