We are delighted to present this beautifully maintained five-bedroom stone property, located in a quiet hamlet with uninterrupted countryside views, yet within easy reach of the sought-after village of Aubeterre-sur-Dronne and the market town of Chalais.

Offering 205 m2 of habitable space, the accommodation is both generous and flexible, making it ideal for a large family, multi-generational living, or a holiday rental business. The house benefits from full double glazing, central gas heating, and a well-balanced layout across two floors.

The ground floor opens into a large entrance hall (21.4 m2), currently used as a games room, setting the tone for the spacious interiors. There are three ground-floor bedrooms (21.8 m2,13.2 m2, and 14 m2), ideal for guests or single-level living. Two shower rooms, including one with WC, and a separate WC provide excellent practicality. The fully equipped kitchen (19.3 m2) connects well with the generous living and dining area (39.2 m2), offering a warm and sociable space for family life and entertaining. A maintenance/utility room completes this level.

The first floor features a bright mezzanine (16.25 m2) currently used as a reading and relaxation area. The master bedroom (20.35 m2) benefits from its own ensuite shower room with WC, while a large children’s bedroom (25 m2) and a separate storage room provide additional flexibility.

Outside, the private grounds of 2,714 m2 are mainly laid to lawn and enjoy open views over the surrounding countryside. The heated swimming pool is well positioned for privacy, with nearby storage areas and a covered seating terrace, perfect for outdoor dining and relaxing throughout the summer months.

The property is connected to a septic tank drainage system and enjoys discreet neighbours, offering peace without isolation. Just a short drive away, Aubeterre-sur-Dronne provides cafés, restaurants, shops, river activities, and historic charm, while Chalais offers supermarkets, schools, a weekly market, and rail connections.

A turn-key countryside property combining space, comfort, and location - early viewing is strongly advised.
