Located 15 minutes from Angoulême, a city of art and history, and the TGV train station, this charming and characterful little castle has remained in the same family for centuries. Standing next to a charming Romanesque church and a splendid lime tree, from the top of its rock, it overlooks a wooded and hilly valley : the view is splendid and breathtaking. It is nestled in a green setting, while the village and all shops (butcher, bakery, and convenience store open 7 days a week) are a one-minute walk away. The property is also close to many hiking trails. The owners have taken great care to restore their property while respecting its character. The floors have been preserved (terracotta tiles, rammed earth, and forged nail-worked floors). You will journey through the ages, from prehistory (a cave and its silos carved into the rock below), through the medieval and classical periods, to the romantic 19th century. Built in the 13th century, then modified in the 15th and 18th centuries, the castle offers on the ground floor a kitchen with a terracotta floor, a dining room with a wooden floor and fireplace, an entrance hall with a terracotta floor with a main wooden staircase and rammed earth floor. This room gives access to a shower room with a small bedroom above, as well as a first boiler room with an oil and wood boiler. You then enter the music room with a wooden fireplace, on parquet flooring with Persian walnut paneling. At the end of the hallway with terracotta tiles, a bedroom has been converted into the old kitchen, revealing a superb fireplace with a rotisserie and a hexagonal terracotta floor. The hallway also gives access to a shower room and a second boiler room with an oil boiler. From the courtyard, another entrance on a stone slab, with a wooden service staircase, and a WC at the end, gives access to a small apartment comprising a bedroom on the ground floor (the Blasons bedroom) and a bedroom on the mezzanine, as well as an adjoining shower room with WC, and a private courtyard. On the first floor, the wooden landing opens onto a red bed bedroom with parquet flooring and a fireplace, along with a large bathroom/shower/WC with ship's-deck parquet flooring.

A corridor with stairs leads to a bedroom with wooden flooring and a fireplace, and to a medieval bedroom with wooden flooring and a fireplace, with a private bathroom and WC, also accessible via the service staircase. The second floor contains the attic, a bedroom, a bathroom, and another room. The castle's roofs are very recent (from 2011 to 2018), and the tiles are all fixed to prevent the roof caps from slipping. The barns benefited from the same precautions during the renovations in 2018 and 2023. The sanitation system is to be redone, with the possibility of connecting to the communal network.

In Charente, at the gates of Angoulême, a Charente residence from the 19th century, its outbuildings, and its swimming pool on 3 hectares of wooded land. The building complex is organized according to the traditional layout of old Charente farms: a main living building, extended and framed by outbuildings forming a semi-closed courtyard in a U-shape. The main house, built of rendered stone, features a sober architecture topped with a hip roof, inspired by rural styles. The arrangement of the façade, punctuated by regular openings, reflects a pursuit of balance rather than grandeur. The discreet but structuring window frames emphasize the rigor of the composition. The roof of the outbuildings, with its two slopes, follows the local tradition, with a moderate pitch suited to the region's climate. The clear and readable volumes testify to a construction designed to last, where each element serves a specific function. On either side, the outbuildings—barns, stables, and annexes—exhibit a more rugged form. Their generous proportions, large openings, and frameworks reflect their original agricultural purpose. The U-shape layout is not merely functional: it creates a protected inner courtyard that is almost intimate, sheltered from prying eyes. Thus, the whole forms a small coherent and hierarchical territory in itself, where living and working once coexisted in harmony.This description has been automatically translated from French.
