This character-filled former watermill, situated right on the riverbank, offers a rare opportunity to create a stunning family home or business venture. Located at the end of a quiet impasse with no passing traffic, it is just a 2-3 minute walk into the picturesque village of Verteuil-sur-Charente with various amenities and its fairytale chateau. The property, oozing with original features, comprises the living space, the watermill, a spacious barn, a hangar, a garden with a chicken coop and an old piggery, and a riverside terrace.

The living space is habitable but needs full refurbishment an ideal project for those looking to restore a historic home. The living area is partially divided into two. The one-bedroom annexe, with its own front door and river views from the kitchen, has potential to create guest accommodation or a holiday rental (subject to the necessary permissions).

The main house has three bedrooms, a kitchen, a room currently used as a dining room, and a huge loft space ripe for conversion, possibly into B&B rooms, subject to permissions. The hangar, accessible from the main kitchen and the barn, could be a fabulous outdoor dining and entertainment area. The spacious barn has a mezzanine currently set up as a workshop, and provides access to the mill and living accommodation.

The piggery provides either storage space or an opportunity for conversion (subject to permissions) to create an outside entertainment space in the garden. And, of course, there's the mill itself with workings that have been carefully preserved and are still functioning today. Outside the riverside terrace provides views along the river towards the chateau,.

The garden is large enough to add a pool (subject to permissions) and a vegetable plot, or, even as is, provides a lovely tranquil garden for you to enjoy to the full. The property has the advantage of being on mains drains, and the roof appears to be in good condition. As part of the refurbishment the electricity likely requires some updating, and you might want to add central heating and double glazing to benefit from modern comforts. This charming property is brimming with potential and offers a rare opportunity to own a historic riverside home in one of the most desirable locations in the Charente.

With some vision and renovation, it could become a magnificent residence or a thriving Bed and Breakfast or holiday rental business. Contact us today for more details or to arrange a viewing!

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.

The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.

This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £14,521 more.
