It is just a short drive from the fairytale village of Verteuil-sur-Charente.The two houses offer flexible accommodation as you will discover.

The current 'main house' is arranged open-plan on the ground floor with a fabulous, newly fitted kitchen (17m2), dining area (18m2) and sitting room (42m2) with wood-burning stove. There is a separate laundry room (7m2) and lavatory. On the first floor is a fabulous suite, comprising the master bedroom (34m2), shower room with WC (10m2) and dressing room.

There is a further room on this floor, in need of renovation but which would make another spacious bedroom (30m2).The second property or 'guest house' is just as lovely and with more bedrooms. It might even suit the new owners to use this as their main residence. For sure, there are lots of possibilities for family use, friends and for letting as a holiday gite (subject to permissions).

The same successful open-plan formula has been used in this property too. On the ground floor is the kitchen (22m2), sitting/dining room (46m2) and WC.

Whilst Verteuil is not large, it does have good everyday amenities, a boulangerie, boucher, general store, pharmacy and three restaurants. It is only around an hour's drive to the coast and the countryside is perfect for walking, cycling or fishing.The property can be reached quite easily by train, car or plane from the UK.
