Description:

Large charentaise house for renovation with ready to move in cottage Genté - Grande Champagne

 

Handsome and spacious charentaise stone house for renovation sold with guardian's cottage ready to move in.

 

Located in the Grande Champagne with far reaching views, this property combines a renovation project with a base from which you can live whilst completing the work. When the work is completed the cottage could easily be rented out as holiday accommodation as the current owners do.

 

Main house

 

Architect plans and full planning permission for the renoation, have been drawn up and granted and will be sold with the house, they outline:

 

Entrance Hall (19 sq metres) with stairs rising to first floor, a door to the sitting room (36 sq metres) and from here plans have been drawn up to create a new room in what is currently an open barn. This would house the kitchen (25 sq metres), which would have glazed doors leading to a walled courtyard also of 25sq metres.

 

On the first floor the plan is to create three double bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC, the plumbing for which is already in place.

 

The second floor, which is currently attic space, has plans to create  a very large master suite with bathroom and WC. However it would be very easy to alter these plans to create a combination of rooms that would suit your family and your lifestyle.

 

 

 

Cottage

 

Entrance (3 sq metres) leading, on the right, to the bedroom (13 sq metres) with en-suite shower room (3.5 sq metres) and fitted wardrobes. Also from the entrance hall is a door to the open plan living space (21.5 sq metres) with defined areas for both dining and relaxing. The kitchen (6 sq metres) is part hidden from the living space but still open enough to be sociable.

 

Both properties are located in a mature garden with many fruit trees, part walled the garden offers the combination of privacy and open views, depending on where you are looking. Generously proportioned at over 6000m2 the garden has plenty of room for a pool.

 

The main property has had an entirely new roof completed 2008, and the interior has been re plumbed. Mains drains have arrived in the street, saving the need for a new septic tank, and connection to them must be completed by July 2009.
