Charming former 2-bed/1-bath watermill to renovate with large garden in bucolic setting

This semi-detached property is a former watermill, where several original inscriptions remain visible on one of the exterior walls. Among them is the inscription: "Wheel made on 28 May 1892 by Néraud," most likely commemorating the construction or replacement of the mill wheel on that date, and "Millers are good fellows" provides a charming reminder of the property's milling past and contributes to its distinctive historical character.

Set in a peaceful rural location, the property enjoys a generous garden bordered by the former mill race, now dry, with direct access to woodland paths.

The house retains the charm of traditional Charentaise rural architecture and offers excellent potential as a permanent residence, holiday home or renovation project. It is attached to a neighbouring building and requires substantial renovation and modernisation to bring it up to modern standards of comfort and compliance.

The main building appears to be generally structurally sound but requires extensive renovation. The main works to be undertaken include:

- the installation of an entirely new kitchen;
- the creation of new bathroom facilities;
- the installation of a completely new individual sewage treatment system, as wastewater is currently discharged directly into the River Né;
- the installation of a heating system;
- inspection and upgrading of the electrical installation to current standards;
- roof repairs, as signs of water ingress are visible on the top floor;
- complete interior renovation;
- making the floor in the former mill section safe.

The adjoining building is currently derelict and unoccupied.

GROUND FLOOR
