Anville Property Description
Situated on the edge of a small village, this traditional "Maison de Maitre" is within easy reach of the larger market towns of Rouillac and Jarnac, famous for its Courvoisier Cognac.
The house has plenty of character and charm although is in need of complete renovation to bring it back to it's former glory. It has, however, a new slate roof and new cut stone windows to the rear, electricity and a well, although it will need a septic tank with plumbing for bathrooms, water connected, new floors, plastering etc . . .
The living accommodation comprises of an entrance hall with access to the first floor, living room (30m2) with traditional stone fireplace, dining room (23m2) leading to an annexe (40m2), formerly the kitchen, also with stone fireplace. From the kitchen there is access to the attached open barn/hangar which houses the original bread oven and leads to the land at the rear. On the first floor there is a "grenier" above the kitchen and two bedrooms above the dining room. The staircase from the main floor leads to a large room over the lounge. There is plenty of height and windows above the first floor to create a second floor.
A door from the main hall leads into barns attached to the rear of the house, these are in pretty bad condition and would probably be best if demolished. To the right of the house is another barn and there is also an adjacent pigeonnier and a smaller barn.
In front of the house is an enclosed courtyard garden whilst to the rear is approximately 1 hectare of land with great views over surrounding vineyards. Once restored this handsome house would make a very fine home.
