The main part of the house has 2 large living rooms, kitchen, downstairs toilet, 2 storerooms and a huge workshop/garage. Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms, an office, family bathroom with separate toilet.There is a salt softener fitted which protects the whole house so no limescale build up in the heating system or in the bathroom fittings. The kitchen has been fitted with solid oak doors and a solid granite worktop. The electrical items in the kitchen are included (if wanted).Property Location:The house is situated in the south of the Charente Maritime, 15 mins from the thermal spa town of Jonzac. It is only 40 mins from the centre of Bordeaux, the airport is only 50 mins away and La Rochelle airport is just over an hour away. 40 mins to the lovely beaches at Mechers and only 10 mins from the port of Vitrezay. The house is situated at the end of a lane with no passing traffic. A very tranquil location to live, the seller having lived at the house for many years. There are miles of good hiking routes on the doorstep, which do not involve going on the road at all. This is one of the reasons for choosing this house. The largest field has a fresh water stream running through it all year so no watering the horses. The lake is stocked with carp, brown trout and lots of other fish.Property Features:The house has wood fired central heating so the whole house can be kept comfortably warm for quite inexpensively. The hot water system is plumbed into the heating system. There is a solar panel for hot water in the spring/summer/autumn so electricity bills are very low. If the waterwheel is put back in there would be the opportunity to produce electricity with a mid-shot wheel. This would provide enough electricity to heat the house during the winter. The heating is already set up to be able to use either wood or electricity. There is a large south facing covered balcony with built in BBQ and a fixed large table which can comfortably accommodate 12-16 people. New roof installed 9 years ago. There is also a fully contained 2 bedroom gite attached with 2 double bedrooms, kitchen and living room, shower room with separate toilet, and its own entrance and balcony. This can be used as part of the house or separately as it has an adjoining door to the main house. The gite is to be left fully furnished if wanted. There is room to make a second gite within the roofline if wanted. There is also an 8 unit kennels/cattery which can be continued to use as such or could be converted to another cottage for relatives or a gite. The lake is approx 1.5 acres in size and has a field next to it which would easily accommodate 2 mobile homes to accommodate fishing holidays.
