Description

Riverside Country Escape in the grounds of the owner's chateau.

Set within the peaceful Charente countryside, this elegant country home combines traditional character with relaxed contemporary comfort. Surrounded by mature grounds and fruit trees, the property enjoys calming rural views, while the garden extends toward a small stream, creating a particularly tranquil setting.

Inside, a travertine floored entrance leads to a welcoming living and dining room furnished with a tasteful blend of antique and modern pieces. French windows open onto the terrace and garden, while a wood burning stove, Smart TV, books, and games provide a comfortable setting for quieter evenings. The fully equipped kitchen connects to a utility room and a covered rear terrace, ideal for outdoor dining in the shade.

Four bedrooms accommodate up to eight guests. Three feature super king beds that can be arranged as twins, while the fourth offers twin beds. One bedroom opens directly to the garden and includes an ensuite shower room, complemented by a family bathroom and an additional WC. Heating and cooling fans support comfort throughout the seasons.

Outside, the private swimming pool is set within a secure walled area with a poolside terrace and covered seating. The expansive garden, measuring more than half an acre, also includes a boules pitch, barbecue facilities, and several furnished terraces. Located within a substantial private estate, the home offers a refined countryside atmosphere while remaining connected to the historic towns, rivers, and cultural landscapes of the Charente.
