Delightful property with a great commercial opportunity to take over. Conveniently located close to Ruffec and Villefagnan and tucked away in the most tranquil hamlet nestled in the woods. The spacious main house has 2 en-suite bedrooms (each with a mezzanine storage area above) but with the possibility of having a 3rd on the ground floor, private outbuildings and attractive mature gardens. The stone house is an architect designed barn conversion offering modern comforts and retaining all of the character you would expect. The handmade solid wood kitchen has a practical layout with a useful pantry adjacent. A wonderful open-plan dining room / lounge boasts wonderful light from the large double-glazed wall which was formally the place of the old barn doors. Cosy underfloor central heating which is thermostatically controlled.
On the other side of the quiet lane are the 4 gites. Each of the gites have been regularly rented out and are completely independent with access to a courtyard. The 4th gite has a private garden and has been rented out long term. Each cottage has its wood stove.
A unique opportunity to take over a successful and established business requiring no work.

Information on the risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Georisques website: www.georisques.gouv.fr

The department of Charente is located in the centre-west of France and is part of the Poitou-Charentes region along with Deux Sèvres, Charente Maritime and the Vienne department.

Its name as is often the case comes from the river Charente which snakes through the department. Two local dialects are spoken in the area, Saintongeais in the west and Occitan to the east.

Charente is a thriving department for several reasons, Cognac production is one of the most interesting and profitable industries, the export level of approx. 95% is a success, the consumption in France being only 5% (some say they keep the best 5% in France!).

The department has many typical towns, Angouleme in the south east for example hosts an international festival that attracts hundreds of visitors and is not to be missed.

The region is popular with hikers, bikers and nature lovers who like to discover the woodlands, lakes and streams that are part of this amazing landscape.
