Beautifully renovated Charentaise home with swimming pool, generous living spaces and further accommodation potential. Ready to move into, this charming property offers the perfect opportunity for a permanent home or a French holiday retreat, with Atlantic beaches, historic towns and excellent transport connections all within easy reach.
Space, comfort and character
Offering approximately 299 m² of accommodation, the property has been thoughtfully arranged to provide generous and versatile living spaces.
The accommodation includes:
- Two comfortable bedrooms, each approximately 12 m².
- An impressive 38 m² principal bedroom suite with bespoke dressing area and washbasin.
- A spacious kitchen of approximately 40 m², complemented by a practical utility room.
- A bright and welcoming living room of over 50 m², with plenty of space for entertaining and relaxing.
- A mezzanine overlooking the living space, adding to the sense of volume and character.
- A library or study of over 20 m², ideal for working from home or creating a quiet reading room.
- A family bathroom and separate shower room.
The layout offers excellent flexibility for families, couples or those looking for a property with plenty of room to welcome visiting friends and relatives.
Further potential – create your own guest accommodation
One of the property's particularly attractive features is the additional substantial space awaiting completion.
This offers an exciting opportunity to create a separate guest suite, independent accommodation for family and friends, or even a self-contained holiday rental, subject to the necessary permissions and arrangements.
Alternatively, it could be incorporated into the existing house to provide additional living accommodation, a games room, studio or leisure space.
Importantly, this is an opportunity to personalise and develop an additional area without taking on the disruption of renovating the main house, which is already finished and ready to enjoy.
Outside – the perfect French lifestyle
The property continues to impress outdoors.
The saltwater swimming pool provides a wonderful place to relax during the warmer months, complemented by a summer kitchen which is perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The grounds include established planting and fruit trees, with additional woodland parcels nearby offering further opportunities for enjoying the surrounding countryside.
A large garage, cellar and workshop provide useful storage and practical working space.
Solar photovoltaic panels provide electricity for self-consumption, while the property benefits from several heating systems, including a heat pump and wood heating.

The historic towns of Cognac, Saint-Jean-d'Angély and Saintes are all within comfortable driving distance, offering a good selection of shops, restaurants, markets, services and cultural attractions.
The Atlantic coastline is also within easy reach, with the popular seaside resorts and beautiful sandy beaches around Royan providing an excellent destination for days out, swimming, sailing and enjoying the French coastal lifestyle.
