VillefagnanCharente

This magnificent, beautifully renovated charantaise longere is situated on the edge of the popular village of Villefagnan and has glorious unbroken views over its ground and the surrounding countryside. It is approached through imposing gates and along a treelined driveway and is surrounded by 1.72ha of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds with pond, vegetable garden and manicured lawns as well as the superb 11x5m in-ground pool with large covered terrace. A further attached paddock of 12 900m2 can be available by separate negotiation.

With more than 450m2 of living accommodation, the longère itself is currently divided into a an impressive 5 bedroomed main house, a two bedroom cottage plus three self contained studios and is currently used for multi-generational family living but formerly operated as a Gites de France (possible gite business - subject to necessary permissions). In addition there are further attic rooms and an attached barn as well as an integral garage/workshop and a lovely traditional vaulted cellar. The property has been maintained to a very high standard and benefits from central heating, double-glazing throughout and fibre internet connections

Further outbuildings include two ancient former windmills, a bread oven, and a superb large function room complete with bar and an adjoining hangar with a cold-storage room. The stunning property is a hewn of rural tranquility yet is within walking distance of basic amenities in Villefagnan whilst the larger market town of Ruffec is just 15 mins drive away and the cities of Poitiers with its TGV and intl. airport and Angoulême are both less than an hours drive..
