French Property - Charente

A very substantial "maison de maitre" with six bedrooms, five reception rooms and three bathrooms set in private, walled gardens just 8 km from the centre of Cognac. The property dates from around 1850 and has been extensively and tastefully modernised to incorporate some extraordinary features. The main house is approached through electronic gates via a circular gravel drive. Stone steps lead to a large terrace in front of the house. Inside, in typical Charentais style, the large entrance hall has doors off to the left and right into generously proprtioned living rooms. The kitchen (32.5 m2) is at the rear and leads to a large downstairs office, one downstairs bedroom and bathroom. Upstairs are five further bedrooms, the principal bedroom being 40m2 with uninterrupted views over the gaden and countryside beyond. There are three separate wooden staircases leading to the upper floor. Stairs from the rear hall lead down to the basement which houses what might be described as the "leisure centre" comprising bar/cinema (33m2), wine cave, lounge and dehumidified fitness centre - gym, large jacuzzi, large hammam and family-sized sauna (40m2). Next to the main house is a separate "corps de ferme" with buildings forming a lawned enclosed courtyard. (continued...)
