Spacious townhouse in the heart of a small town

• Great location
• Pretty walled courtyard
• Near Cognac and Jarnac
• Outbuildings
• Reversible air-cooling/heating system

This attractive house was once the home and office of the town's pharmacist. It now offers generous accommodation set over two floors, with outbuildings and a pretty walled garden. The local shops and restaurants are all within easy walking distance and the larger historic towns of Jarnac and Cognac as both just a short drive.

On the ground floor, the front door opens to the entrance hall which gives access to both the sitting room and dining room - both rooms are spacious and south-west facing.

Beyond the sitting room is the a snug / study (formerly the chemist's office). From here there is access to the kitchen / breakfast room which runs along the back of the house - with another door that opens back into the main entrance hall.

Off the kitchen is a utility / laundry room with separate WC.

Upstairs there are four double bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. In addition to this there is a large attic room which serves as an excellent artist's studio.

Below the dining room there is a cellar with two wells - ideal as a wine cellar.

Above the old pharmacy office is an attic room which offers potential.

A door from the kitchen/breakfast opens to the pretty courtyard garden, well stocked with flower borders, shrubs and specimen trees. To one side there is a garage (with access to the main street). To the other is a large room, perfect for use as a "party room", workshop or studio. Behind this is a generous store room.

The house benefits from a reversible air-cooling / heating system powered by a heat-exchange unit. In addition to this, the front door, windows and shutters have all be replaced recently.

Set in the heart of the the prestigious little town of Segonzac, capital of the Grande Champagne vineyards of the Cognac area, this house is within easy reach of the shops, restaurant and health centre. Jarnac and Cognac, both nearby, offer a great range of facilities and the department's capital, Angoulême, with its LGV station, is within easy reach. Ideal as a family home, it also makes a great lock-up-and-leave holiday home.
