Les Pins, Charente 16260

Exclusive To Beaux Villages! This property truly is unique. With origins in the mid 1600's to the noble family of De Fretard, La Baronniere is a property packed with original features and full of historic character. The current owners have carefully and respectfully renovated over the past 10 years, producing a one off historic charm but with more modern comforts. On the ground floor there is a striking dining room with stone fireplace, beams and other stone features, leading through to a spacious high ceilinged living room with wood burner. There is a good size fitted kitchen and a separete room with original fireplace - this character room could provide a ground floor bedroom if required (already has Wc) or would make a fantastic office or hobby room. From the living room are the impressive stone steps up to the first floor level, you can literally feel the history with every step. There is a spacious landing (library or office) with original large stone fireplace, giving access to two very large double (triple!) bedrooms, one smaller double bedroom and a family bathroom with bath and shower. Behind a secret doorway in one of the bedrooms, more stone steps lead up to the loft space - providing excellent storage space or potential for further expansion (if required and subject to planning permissions). The property is entered through the historic stone gateway - dated to 1647 - through to a lovely open garden with large trees and a well. The outside space also has a small wooded copse and two useful barn outbuildings. The popular chateau town of La Rochefoucauld is a short drive away, with a large supermwarket and a selection of bars, restaurants and shops. The location is quiet and rural but close to the nearest local town with all local ameneites you could require - truly a must see..!
