Chatain, Charente 86250

Tucked away at the end of a quiet lane, on the edge of the charming village of Chatain, this beautifully renovated farmhouse offers a rare combination of privacy, character, and modern comfort, all set within approximately 1.5 hectares of land. Lovingly restored to a high standard, the property is equipped for comfortable year-round living, featuring solar panels, a recently installed wood pellet central heating system, double glazing, a water softener, and a compliant septic system. The main living accommodation is currently arranged on one level and comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a superb, spacious living and dining room, complete with a fireplace and wood-burning stove, enhanced by striking exposed stone walls. The ground floor also offers a generous master bedroom with built-in wardrobes and en-suite shower room/WC, a double guest bedroom, a family bathroom/WC, a pantry, and a large utility/boiler room. Upstairs, the expansive first floor is currently used as an artist's studio but presents outstanding potential for further development, with scope to create up to three additional bedrooms and a shower room, ideal for extending the main home or creating independent accommodation. The property is complemented by an impressive range of outbuildings, including a large adjoining barn with concrete flooring and electricity, as well as five additional structures comprising a garage, workshop, sheds, and a double-glazed studio space. This latter building offers excellent potential for conversion into a gîte or guest accommodation (subject to necessary permissions). The surrounding land is a true highlight, featuring two spacious fields, one fully enclosed for animals, an orchard, and a terrace area with an above-ground swimming pool and dedicated relaxation space. A covered terrace with far-reaching countryside views is currently arranged as an outdoor bar, providing the perfect setting for entertaining family and friends. Despite its peaceful and secluded setting, the property remains conveniently close to local amenities, with easy access to Champagne-Mouton, Civray, Confolens, and Ruffec. Transport links are excellent, with the airports and train stations of Limoges and Angoulême within approximately 45 minutes to one hour. The surrounding countryside offers beautiful walking routes and superb equestrian opportunities, making this an ideal property for nature lovers and those seeking a tranquil lifestyle. A truly outstanding home with versatility, charm, and significant potential, early viewing is highly recommended.
