Set in a peaceful and private location just 5 minutes from Barbezieux, this distinctive property offers a rare combination of historic character, generous land and an exceptional collection of traditional outbuildings.
Originally dating from the 17th century, the property has been comprehensively rebuilt, retaining the atmosphere and character of the original site while offering contemporary living comfort and excellent energy efficiency.
South-facing and enjoying plenty of natural light, the house is arranged over two floors.
The main house
On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a cosy sitting room with a wood-burning stove and fireplace insert. A spacious second living area opens onto the fully equipped kitchen and dining room, creating a sociable and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining.
This level also includes a generous utility room and a comfortable master suite with dressing room, bathroom and WC. The ground-floor layout offers the possibility of easy single-level living.
Upstairs, a large landing leads to three further bedrooms, a family shower room and a separate WC. A spacious attic area offers useful storage and potential for additional accommodation, subject to the necessary permissions.
Historic outbuildings and water features
The property benefits from a remarkable collection of traditional buildings, each offering character and potential.
These include:
A flour mill with water rights, in very good condition;
An authentic traditional bread oven;
An adjoining oil mill, requiring restoration;
A lean-to beside the watercourse;
A large open barn;
Various storage buildings and additional outbuildings.
The flour mill and bread oven are particularly attractive features, while the oil mill and other buildings offer exciting possibilities for restoration, workshops, storage or future projects, subject to any required permissions.
Two idyllic terraces are positioned beside the bief - the mill canal - creating a wonderfully atmospheric setting for outdoor dining, relaxing beside the water or enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Location
Despite its tranquil and private setting, the property is conveniently located close to everyday amenities:
5 minutes from Barbezieux;
Approximately 25 minutes from Jonzac and Angoulême;
Approximately 50 minutes from Bordeaux.
With its historic origins, extensive grounds, water rights and impressive range of outbuildings, this is a property with genuine individuality and considerable appeal for buyers looking for a characterful French home with space, privacy and a unique lifestyle setting. It is also important to note that there has never been any floodings.
In addition an extension of the habitable space of 75m2 has been approved.
More photos are available on request as well as the floor plans.
