Double gates take you into an easily maintained courtyard garden measuring approximately 800m². An area at the bottom of the courtyard is fenced off to surround the semi-sunken circular pool. An attractive alfresco dining terrace with attached garage/woodstore and stone shed are to the left hand side of the courtyard, opposite the four bedroom, traditional charantaise stone longere property to the right. The property is wonderfully spacious with several access doors, from the ground floor, into the garden. Entering into the tiled, 17.5m², equipped kitchen with modern fitted units and a breakfast bar, you can access lounge 1 on the left and the dining room on the right. At the back of the kitchen is a staircase to the first floor, which gives a useful under-stair storage cupboard. The 24.6m² tiled dining room shares a dual-sided insert log-burning fire with the 24m² second lounge. This lounge is also tiled and provides unique access via stairs to a 16m² bedroom with interesting original features including a niche in the stone apparent walls. This bedroom also benefits from a 7.2m² ensuite bathroom with shower cubicle, WC, sink and built in storage cupboards. The first lounge is on the other side of the kitchen and has laminate flooring, exposed beams and lambris to the walls and ceiling. This lounge has another staircase up to a very pretty 1st floor bedroom and it also has access to the large 11.2m² tiled family bathroom, with utility facilities, on the ground floor. The stairs take you up into a bright and beautifully finished 31m² bedroom with windows on each side of the room, open beamed ceiling, exposed wooden floorboards and lambris walls to give this room a really charming, natural feel. To the corner of the room there is a ceramic wash basin; making it easily possible to add an ensuite to the corner of the room. From this bedroom is a door through to a 15m² bedroom which has a hidden staircase down into the kitchen and fitted cupboards along the width of the room. It also gives access to the 24.5m² large bedroom with exposed floorboards; this is the only bedroom that doesnt have its own staircase. The house has been modernised to include central heating and incorporate double-glazing to make it more energy efficient. It would make a wonderful family home or could be adapted, due to its unusual 3 staircases, for use as a small chambre dhôtes in this popular region of France.
