Ref 4954: Charming house and guest accommodation near La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois Set in the heart of the lush Charente region, on the edge of the Périgord and Limousin, this property enjoys a unspoilt rural setting, particularly well-suited to a hospitality business. The area charms visitors with its wooded landscapes, valleys, rivers and heritage, whilst remaining close to several lively market towns offering a full range of shops and services. The proximity to La Rochefoucauld-en-Angoumois, a ‘city of character’ renowned for its château nicknamed the ‘Pearl of the Angoumois’, is a real tourist attraction. The area also offers a wide range of outdoor activities: walking, cycling, canoeing on the Tardoire, exploring ancient villages and Romanesque heritage, and day trips to the Périgord Vert. The main house, which has been extensively restored, covers approximately 165 sqm and now offers a living environment that is warm, comfortable and highly functional. Its layout is particularly open and flowing, with spacious rooms and a constant connection to the outdoor areas, the swimming pool and the various guest accommodation buildings. On the ground floor, a beautiful entrance hall leads to a bright, fitted kitchen, designed for practical everyday use, featuring a double Smeg oven and De Dietrich hobs. It opens directly onto a utility room and storage area, equipped with its own water heater, which in turn opens onto an outdoor terrace where a dining area can be set up right next to the kitchen, in a more intimate setting. The house also comprises a dining room and a cosy living room with a working fireplace in pink marble, a material also found on some of the window frames, which lends the whole property a truly distinctive character. The exposed beams add to the charm of the living areas, whilst the tiled floors, built-in storage and electric roller shutters throughout the ground floor enhance everyday comfort. A separate toilet completes this level. Upstairs, a landing leads to three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom facilities, which is a real asset for comfortable family living. The master bedroom, which is bright and features parquet flooring, has exposed beams, plenty of storage space and a large walk-in wardrobe. Its en-suite bathroom includes a double washbasin, a walk-in shower, a bath and a toilet. The second bedroom, which is also very light and airy, has a mezzanine and its own en-suite shower room with a shower, washbasin and toilet. The third bedroom, also with wooden flooring, retains beautiful exposed beams and features storage space, a bookcase and a private en-suite shower room with a shower, washbasin and toilet. The bedrooms are fitted with electric blinds, whilst the skylights can be opened and closed remotely. Restored, immaculately maintained and ready to move into, the main house combines old-world charm with modern comfort and excellent layout. Its position at the heart of the property offers unobstructed views of the swimming pool, gardens, guest rooms and holiday cottages – a layout that is particularly advantageous for a hospitality business. The property boasts a particularly attractive collection of stone outbuildings, which are now being put to excellent use as holiday cottages and guest rooms. Separate from the main house, self-contained, heated, connected to fibre-optic broadband and fully fitted out, these various accommodation units are ready for immediate use and, depending on the terms of the sale, may remain furnished and equipped, thus ensuring genuine business continuity. The outbuildings comprise: A/ Two guest rooms in the former cowshed The first outbuilding, converted from a former stable, houses the two guest rooms. Each has its own entrance and unique character, with exposed beams, stone walls and wooden flooring, as well as a private bathroom with a shower, washbasin and toilet. Both guest rooms share a fully equipped kitchen and a communal dining area, as well as a laundry room, a storage room and a dedicated water heater. They also benefit from a landscaped outdoor area. The layout allows, if desired, for the two guest rooms to be combined to form self-contained accommodation for four people – a possibility already utilised in the current operation. B/ Two self-contained holiday cottages in the former pigsty A second large stone outbuilding, converted from the former pigsty, houses two self-contained holiday cottages, each with its own entrance and private terrace; the outdoor areas are separated by a hedge to ensure the occupants’ privacy. The first, currently marketed as suitable for 6 to 8 people, covers approximately 74 sqm. On the ground floor, it comprises a living room, a dining area, a fitted open-plan kitchen, a working fireplace and a toilet. Upstairs, a mezzanine landing leads to two bedrooms: one with a double bed, the other suitable for a family with a double bed and bunk beds, as well as a shower room, a second toilet and storage space. The second holiday home, which is more intimate, is advertised for four people and covers approximately 50 sqm. The ground floor comprises a living room, a fully fitted open-plan kitchen and a toilet. Upstairs, the landing leads to a double bedroom, a bedroom with bunk beds, a refurbished shower room and a second toilet. Like the first holiday home, it has a private terrace and direct access to the grounds and the swimming pool. C/ A large barn A large barn, converted from the former stables, measuring approximately 17 m × 10 m – equivalent to nearly 170 sqm of floor space – offers particularly interesting development potential. The roof has been re-thatched, roof windows have been fitted, and the building features a large sliding gate. Planning permission has already been granted for its conversion into a guest accommodation facility, comprising, in particular, two dormitories, toilets and showers, a room for seminars or receptions, and facilities compliant with accessibility standards. This space provides a real opportunity to expand the existing business into hosting groups, courses, seminars or themed breaks. D/ A garden shed and various storage areas A garden shed and various storage areas complete this complex of outbuildings. The property covers 8,407 sqm and is set in lush, wooded and particularly pleasant surroundings. The grounds have been cleverly laid out to preserve both the welcoming atmosphere of the whole estate and the privacy of each of the living and reception areas. The park, with its abundance of trees, offers numerous shaded areas and a variety of atmospheres as you move between the different buildings. Each holiday cottage, each guest room and the main house thus enjoy their own outdoor space, with terraces or private areas allowing everyone to make the most of the grounds without feeling crowded. The secure swimming pool is one of the central features of the outdoor area. It blends naturally into the garden and has recently been refurbished, notably with a new liner, skimmer and pump. A small, rarely used local road runs alongside the property, ensuring particularly smooth traffic flow: access is possible from one side and exit from the other, which considerably facilitates movement, particularly in relation to hospitality operations. This layout also allows access to the various buildings without concentrating foot traffic in front of the main house. The complex thus forms a space that is functional, scenic and a very pleasant place to live, with beautiful green spaces, relaxation areas, small, more intimate gardens and a real sense of space. This layout is a major asset for a tourist business, as everyone can enjoy their own space whilst retaining easy access to the communal areas, the swimming pool and the gardens.

Nestled in the heart of unspoilt countryside, this outstanding estate is a rare example of Charente's historic rural architecture.

Inside, the reception rooms retain a wealth of original architectural features.

The landscaped grounds are enhanced by a traditional Charentais dovecote, retaining its remarkable original timber roof structure, together with an exceptionally rare 18-sided stone sundial dating from 1714, a striking reminder of the estate's distinguished past.
