  • To be renovated

Set within a tranquil hamlet just a short drive from the bustling market town of Chalais, this substantial country property offers an exceptional opportunity for those seeking a full restoration project with space, history, and heart.
Once a much-loved family home, the property retains many original features and a welcoming layout that hints at the grandeur it could once again achieve.

The Main House
The ground floor includes a large living and dining area, a study, a spacious kitchen, and a utility area, all connected by a wide, traditional hallway. A downstairs bedroom offers convenient single-level living, while a separate bedroom and bathroom on the same level make an ideal guest suite or independent accommodation. There’s also a useful storage room, perfect for a kitchen overflow or pantry.
Upstairs, you’ll find three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom.
Outbuildings and Extras

For those dreaming of space to create workshops, studios, or gîtes, the property offers extensive outbuildings, including:

- Two large barns and attached barns (suitable for vehicle storage or conversion).
- Two large garages for cars, tools, or hobby space.
- An old piggery, bursting with rustic charm and reuse potential.
- A wine cave below ground level, ideal for traditional wine storage or a future feature room.

The Setting
Located in a small, friendly hamlet, the property enjoys peace and privacy while remaining just minutes from Chalais, where you’ll find shops, restaurants, schools, and a weekly market. The wider Charente region offers rolling countryside, sunflower fields, and easy access to larger towns and train links.
Condition & Potential

This is a complete renovation project, however, for those with vision, this property represents an incredible opportunity to create something truly special - whether a spacious family home, a countryside retreat, or a multi-unit holiday project. The bones are there; it simply needs new life breathed into it.

In Summary
A property of this scale, with such extensive outbuildings and authentic character, is a rare find in this sought-after corner of the Charente. With imagination, investment, and care, it could become a magnificent rural estate once more.
If you’re ready to take on a rewarding renovation and make your mark on a grand old Charentaise home, this property is waiting for you.
