Renovated Charentaise house with guest house and landscaped garden

Located 15 minutes from Saintes, between Saintes and Cognac, in one of those Charente villages that have preserved their authentic charm, lies a property of rare elegance. Nestled slightly uphill, sheltered from any disturbance and surrounded by a verdant landscape, this property blends character, modern comfort, and a refined country atmosphere.

From the moment you step inside, the house reveals its character: a grand entrance, a true link between comfort and aesthetics, where materials harmonize with elegant softness. This hushed atmosphere fully blossoms in the kitchen, the beating heart of the home. Between the nobility of solid wood, the authenticity of the stonework, and the presence of an imposing stone fireplace, the space combines history and modernity. A vast and light-filled space, designed as a constant invitation to the art of entertaining.

Adjoining the kitchen, the living room unfolds beneath a soaring ceiling. The mezzanine overlooks this wood-clad volume, reinforcing the enveloping atmosphere that makes the place so unique.An antique fireplace houses a wood-burning stove, and the windows offer a seamless connection to the garden.

An adjoining room, ideal as an office or bedroom, also retains its original charm, with its decorative fireplace. It leads to a shower room with a toilet, a discreet prelude to an unexpected haven: a secluded Nordic bath, a true invitation to serenity.

Upstairs, three bedrooms await, including an elegant master suite with a bathroom and dressing room. The two other bedrooms share a shower room, creating a bright and peaceful atmosphere. The all-white mezzanine offers a study or reading nook.

The guest house boasts 64 square meters of charm and privacy. Completely self-contained, this second home offers a variety of uses: it allows you to entertain loved ones in complete privacy or to conduct business in an inspiring setting.

On the ground floor, a spacious open-plan living area with terracotta flooring combines the lounge, dining room, and kitchen. The wood-burning stove and large fireplace structure the space, while the decor blends country house style with more contemporary touches.
Upstairs, a spacious bedroom boasts an unobstructed view of the countryside and leads to an en-suite shower room. The entire property offers complete comfort in a serene and inspiring atmosphere.

The meticulously landscaped and perfectly maintained garden is a true haven. Every space has been designed to take full advantage of the Charente climate: terraces, relaxation areas, flowerbeds, and Mediterranean vegetation.

A refreshing plunge pool, set on a wooden deck, features two sun loungers: a corner of paradise where one can truly immerse oneself in serenity.

A 58 sq m outbuilding serves as a barn or garage, offering ample space for parking, a workshop, or storage, depending on your needs.
