Chef-Boutonne, Charente 79110

114228SSA79 - This 17th century (believed to originate from 1656) watermill is approached by driving up a 100 metre tree-lined drive. The house itself is situated in an idyllic position surrounded by mature trees with a millstream, the main river and open grounds to the front and sides. The outside terrace overlooks the millstream and the private island. All together there are over 400m of river/millstream banks. The grounds run to 2.66 hectares (6.5 acres). The house itself is split into two parts - a pleasant two-bedroomed gîte ready to move in immediately, and the main house which needs renovation but could be transformed into an amazing five bedroomed property. There are endless options for this property. It could be a large family house with guest accommodation or it could be run on a commercial basis as a bed and breakfast. Information about risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Géorisques website :
