Elegant Charentaise country house with Pool and Guest Annexe
Set in a peaceful hamlet just a short drive from the historic town of Cognac, this elegant period property offers a refined blend of character, space, and modern comfort. Carefully maintained and presented in good condition throughout, the house enjoys a south-west orientation looking into its prettily landscaped and enclosed garden.
The main house extends to approximately 290 m2 and is arranged over two floors. On the ground floor, generous reception rooms create a natural flow for both everyday living and entertaining. A large entrance hall leads to a library and a living room, each featuring fireplaces, alongside a spacious kitchen and dining room with a wood-burning stove. Practical spaces include a laundry room, gym, office and wine cellar.
Upstairs, a master bedroom (with en suite shower room and dressing room) is complemented by four additional double bedrooms providing comfortable accommodation, along with two further shower rooms. The layout is well suited for family living or hosting guests.
A separate independent guest annexe adds flexibility, offering a private living space with a living room, shower room, and an upper-level bedroom - ideal for visitors or potential rental use.
The exterior is equally appealing. The property sits on an enclosed plot of 2,095 m2, featuring a heated swimming pool, mature planting, and a variety of substantial outbuildings. These include garages, barns, storage areas, and a large, covered terrace – perfect for outside entertaining. The outbuildings offer excellent potential for further development such as guest accommodation, workshops, or leisure use (draft plans are available - development works would be subject to any relevant planning requirements).
Additional features include double glazing, fibre internet, heat pump heating with underfloor and radiator distribution, and a water softener.
This is a well-balanced property combining authentic regional character with practical modern amenities, ideally positioned close to shops, supermarkets, and amenities, yet enjoying a tranquil rural setting. Well situated for both international travel and coastal escapes, with access to three airports, including Bordeaux International Airport, and the coastline within easy reach. The property’s secure setting also lends itself perfectly to a "lock-up-and-leave" lifestyle.

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
