5 bedroom house for sale

Set on the edge of a small hamlet just a 15 minute drive from the historic town of Cognac, this stunning barn conversion provides very substantial living accommodation, a heated pool, substantial outbuildings and plenty of land. The main house is set over two floors. A large entrance hall opens to a huge open-plan kitchen dining room with a wall of floor-to-ceiling glazed doors overlooking the south-facing garden and the vines beyond. Off this room is an equally large living room. The ground floor is completed by a games room / bar, two large ensuite double bedrooms and a laundry room. An impressive bespoke staircase rises from the entrance hall to a large mezzazine (plenty of space for a home office and library). A corridor provides access to three more bedrooms (the master suite having a dressing room, a shower room and access to a roof terrace overlooking the garden). In addition to this there is a family bathroom. The level garden is mainly left to lawn and enjoys far-reaching views. To one side is a walled garden that houses the heated swimming pool. Beyond this is a two-bedroom mobile home. The property also comes with substantial outbuildings with the possibility of conversion (subject to necessary permissions). The house benefits from double-glazing and underfloor heating. The two ground floor bedrooms can be completely independent of the main house, with possible potential as a gite business (subject to the necessary permissions). Just a short drive from Cognac and only an hour from Royan and the Atlantic coast, this large property is in a great location and offers income potential if desired.
