Have you watched the video yet? - Beautiful Character Charentais stone house with large light-filled rooms, lots of character and great potential. Some of the rooms still need to be renovated, but most of the work has been done and the owner will continue with the works. The property is located in the heart of a small village just a few minutes from Ruffec.

The roofs of the house and the outbuildings have recently been redone (the roof of the house is insulated), central heating with a heat pump was installed in 2022 and there is double glazing in all the windows.

A large plot of land (for a house in the heart of an old village) adjoins the property, allowing you to make the most of the fine weather.

The outbuildings are ideal for storage, a craft project or additional accommodation.

The department of Charente is located in the centre-west of France and is part of the Poitou-Charentes region along with Deux Sevres, Charente Maritime and the Vienne department.

Its name as is often the case comes from the river Charente which snakes through the department. Two local dialects are spoken in the area, Saintongeais in the west and Occitan to the east.

Charente is a thriving department for several reasons, Cognac production is one of the most interesting and profitable industries, the export level of approx. 95% is a success, the consumption in France being only 5% (some say they keep the best 5% in France!).

The department has many typical towns, Angouleme in the south east for example hosts an international festival that attracts hundreds of visitors and is not to be missed.

The region is popular with hikers, bikers and nature lovers who like to discover the woodlands, lakes and streams that are part of this amazing landscape.
