Villa for sale in Écuras, Charente, Nouvelle-Aquitaine

A beautiful property in a quiet hamlet in rural France in the commune of Ecuras near the Charente/Dordogne border.

The property comprises a 4 bedroom semi-detached house of 145m2 living space, non-attached barn of 35m2 floor space and two plots of non-attached land. Total surface area of the property is 463m2.

The house faces southeast, is in good condition and ready to move into. Plenty of character features have been retained and well looked after. The roof is in good condition (re-done 2016; waterproofed and insulated), heating is provided by two wood burners on the ground floor and an oil-fired central heating system. Drainage is via septic tank that is in good working order.

Entering the house takes into you into the Kitchen/ Diner (24m2) with woodburner. Wooden stairs lead to the first floor. There is also access to a Dining Room (15m2) and Living Room (30m2) with a second wood burner and access to a small terrace at the back of the house. Also on the ground floor is a Bedroom (11m2), Bathroom (6m2) and Boiler Room (7m2).

The first floor has three bedrooms (13m2,15m2 & 26m2), second bathroom with bath and shower cubicle (9m2) and separate WC (1.5m2), all connected by a corridor running the length of the house.

Plenty of character charm has been retained in this lovely old stone house.

Across a small lane is a stone barn of 35m2 floor space. This is also in good condition and used for storage yet has a high ceiling and offers great potential, subject to relevant permissions, if it were to be renovated and used as additional accommodation or rented out as a holiday home.

Attached to the barn is a small plot of land which has an above ground pool and would be ideal to install a wooden terrace to take full advantage of the long Charentaise summer evenings.

The other plot of land is behind the house and can be accessed from the rear terrace. It would be ideal as a small vegetable garden.

The property next door is also available (ref A26677NJH16). It is a full renovation project but would make a wonderful 'maison d'amis'.
