Description	This imposing house is built in the traditional Charentais style, with stone walls and pantile roof. The property has been tastefully renovated and is in excellent condition, retaining many original features such as exposed oak beams and stone fireplaces typical of the region. It is ideally positioned on the edge of a peaceful village, yet is only 4km from the market town of Chalais. It sits in its own enclosed plot of 6530m2, mainly parkland planted with mature trees and shrubs, and enjoys a lovely view of the village church and surrounding countryside. The superb 12m x 6m swimming pool in its own walled area adds a special ambience. The two-bedroom annexe/cottage, which has been successfully let to seasonal visitors for the past 8 years, provides a significant revenue opportunity. However it could provide extremely comfortable permanent additional family accommodation if required. Central heating is provided by an oil-fired system, all radiators being fitted with thermostats to improve energy efficiency. Upstairs rooms and the annexe/cottage have double glazed windows.
