Discover the timeless appeal of this enchanting Belle Époque country home, where period elegance meets comfortable village living. Rich in original character, the property features high ceilings, wooden floors, marble fireplaces, a private courtyard, and generous gardens, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

Situated in a peaceful village setting, the house enjoys the tranquility of rural life while remaining just minutes from the vibrant town of Ruffec. Here you'll find a twice-weekly market, shops, restaurants, schools, a hospital, and a train station, offering everyday convenience within easy reach.

The ground floor opens into a spacious entrance hall, highlighted by an impressive hardwood staircase. To one side, a charming sitting room with a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove provides the perfect retreat for cosy evenings. The elegant dining room, also centred around a fireplace, offers an inviting setting for family gatherings and entertaining. At the heart of the home lies a generous modern kitchen and dining area, where a further wood-burning fireplace combines practicality with authentic character.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide comfortable accommodation. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while a spacious family bathroom includes a bath, large shower, and WC.

Outside, a private courtyard leads to a sunny terrace, ideal for outdoor dining and relaxed afternoons. The surrounding gardens and paddock offer plenty of space to enjoy the countryside setting. A substantial attached barn, currently divided into workshop and storage areas, is complemented by an open hangar, garage, and additional outbuildings across the courtyard. Together, these spaces present exciting opportunities for further development, guest accommodation, or holiday rental potential, subject to the necessary permissions.

Adding to the property's unique appeal is an original bread oven, a delightful reminder of its heritage and a wonderful feature for those who appreciate traditional country living.

Combining Belle Époque elegance, authentic charm, and remarkable potential, this distinctive village home presents a rare opportunity to create a truly special residence in the French countryside.
