4 bedroom house for sale

A truly wonderful and rare property on the market dating back to the 17th century and probably beyond. In fact, the property appears on an old Post route map of the 1600's. This gorgeous, former 'Relais de Poste' is in fantastic condition and has retained all its charm and character; old oak beams, beautiful stonework, and a delightful fairytale stone staircase to the first floor. Such is its wealth of character that a viewing is essential to fully appreciate its historic attributes. Outside offers several seating areas depending if you are looking for sun or shade throughout the day and has mature gardens which are lovingly maintained by the current owners. Plenty of parking including a shady car-port for 2 cars and a large stone barn that also has space for a couple of cars to park or indeed a camper van. Situated in a small hamlet and within easy reach of Ruffec, Sauze Vaussais and Villefagnan.------------Ground floor:-Entrance (16m2): tiled floor, exposed beams-Living room (25m2): tiled floor, original fireplace with wood stove, exposed stones and beams, attic space above-Dining room (29m2): tiled floor, original fireplace, French window leading to the terrace.
