At the end of a quiet lane, on the edge of the village of Chatain, this fully renovated farmhouse combines intimacy, character and modern comfort on approximately 1.5 hectares of grounds.

Location & access

Set in a peaceful and unspoilt setting, the property remains close to local amenities with easy access to Champagne-Mouton, Civray, Confolens and Ruffec. Limoges and Angoulême airports and railway stations are between 45 minutes and an hour away. The surrounding countryside offers magnificent walking trails and excellent equestrian opportunities.

Inside

The main residence, currently single-storey, comprises an entrance hall leading to a spacious open-plan living and dining room with fireplace and wood-burning stove, enhanced by attractive exposed stone walls. The ground floor also features a generous master bedroom with fitted wardrobes and en-suite bathroom/WC, a double bedroom, a family bathroom/WC, a pantry and a large utility room/boiler room.

Upstairs, a vast space currently fitted out as an artist's studio offers remarkable potential to create up to three additional bedrooms and a bathroom, ideal for extending the main residence or creating an independent dwelling.

Outside

The property boasts an impressive range of outbuildings: a large adjoining barn with concrete floor and electricity, plus five further buildings comprising garage, workshop, storage sheds and a studio with double glazing, the latter presenting excellent potential for conversion into a gîte or guest accommodation (subject to necessary planning permissions).

The grounds are a real asset, featuring two spacious fields, one fully enclosed for livestock, an orchard and a furnished terrace with above-ground swimming pool and dedicated relaxation area. A covered terrace offering open views over the countryside is currently set up as an outdoor bar, perfect for entertaining family and friends.
