Country House, Outbuildings, Land and Potential for a Gîte/Bed and Breakfast

Property Description

Ref. 16010394651 Situated at the end of a quiet lane on the edge of the village of Chatain, this magnificent, meticulously renovated farmhouse sits on 1.5 hectares of land, boasts numerous outbuildings, and offers an enticing blend of privacy, charm, and modern comfort. The property also offers excellent potential for expansion if required. The house is equipped with solar panels, a wood pellet central heating system installed two years ago, a water softener, double glazing, and a compliant septic tank.

The current living space is arranged on one level and comprises an entrance hall, a superb, spacious living and dining room with a fireplace/wood-burning stove and beautiful exposed stone walls. The ground floor also includes a large master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and an en-suite shower room/WC, a double guest bedroom, a family bathroom/WC, a pantry, and a large utility/boiler room. The upper floor is currently used as an artist's studio, but it offers considerable potential, with the possibility of creating up to three additional bedrooms and a shower room/WC, ideal for extending the living space or creating rental accommodation if desired.

The property includes a large adjoining barn with a concrete floor and electricity, as well as five other outbuildings including a garage, sheds, a workshop, and a room currently used as a double-glazed artist's studio that could easily be converted into a gîte or guest house (subject to planning permission).

The approximately 1.5 hectares of land surround the property and include two large fields, one of which is fully fenced for animals, an orchard, and a terrace with an above-ground swimming pool and relaxation area. A covered area with stunning views is currently used as an outdoor bar, creating an ideal space for entertaining. The setting is peaceful and secluded, yet close to the friendly village of Chatain, which has a small bar and an active community life. The surrounding countryside offers beautiful walks and excellent horse riding opportunities, making it an ideal location for horse lovers.

The location is particularly convenient, just minutes from Chatain, Champagne-Mouton, Civray, Confolens, and Ruffec for all essential amenities, and only 45 minutes to an hour from the airports and train stations of Limoges or Angoulême. A superb property – viewing is highly recommended. Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website:
