First floor The stone staircase goes up on a landing with a corridor which crosses the whole house and which serves the five rooms. The current owners have created a suite including a bedroom (26.5m²), a dressing room (17m²) and a bathroom (9m²) with bath, shower, basin and WC. All of these rooms are connected to each other, but they all have a door to the hallway, so they can be used as two separate bedrooms and a family bathroom. Located in the middle of the landing, there is a bedroom (20.5m²) en suite with shower room and WC. There are two other bedrooms (14m² and 13,5m²), one with a washbasin. All rooms are large with beautiful views of the garden and beyond. A wooden staircase leads to the attic which could be converted into an additional living space (with the required permissions). Outside The house faces south-east, with a terrace that runs right in front of the house, ideal for eating out. There is a retractable awning for shade if needed. In front of the house is the heated swimming pool (11m x 6m) and a jacuzzi. On one side of the house there is a shaded courtyard, gravelled with a BBQ, which leads to an outbuilding with a workshop (81m²) which opens into the open barn with covered parking. The annex with its glazed wall, adjoins the open barn. This annex, very bright, can be used as a guest house or a cottage as there is already a bathroom with a toilet. Otherwise it can serve as an artist studio or a playroom. To the right of the alley, there are fruit trees, a vegetable garden and a garden of aromatic herbs. Opposite is a small terrace which was the old orangery with a small pond. summary This house with its large garden and swimming pool is located just minutes from the heart of Jarnac by car and has easy access to Cognac and Angouleme. There is even a bus stop at the end of the street.
