Ruffec, Charente 16700

Located in one of the most sought-after locations in the heart of Ruffec, this superb property enjoys a truly picturesque setting with beautiful views over its garden and the stream that meanders peacefully alongside the grounds. Despite its quiet and unspoiled surroundings, the house is just a short walk from shops, schools, cafes, restaurants, and bars, offering the perfect balance of convenience and tranquility. The property has undergone extensive and high-quality renovations, including the installation of a compliant sanitation system, a complete roof replacement, improved insulation, and upgrades to the electrical and plumbing systems. The interior has been thoughtfully redesigned to include a modern, fully equipped kitchen and two bathrooms, one on each floor, ensuring comfort and functionality. Presented in excellent condition throughout, the house is ready to move into immediately, with no work required. The charming covered terrace is a true haven of peace, ideal for relaxing while enjoying the gentle murmur of the nearby stream - a rare bonus in such a central location. The ground floor opens onto a spacious entrance hall, currently used as an office, leading to a bathroom equipped with a sink, a bathtub with shower, and a toilet. The bright and generously sized living room features tiled flooring and three French doors opening onto the garden, creating a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. This versatile room also offers the possibility of creating a fourth bedroom with minimal modifications, while maintaining a comfortable living area. A recently renovated kitchen with a dining area completes this level, offering ample storage, a hob, and an extractor hood. A second living room, which could also serve as a ground-floor bedroom, has direct access to the covered terrace with stunning views of the stream. Upstairs, a landing leads to two good-sized double bedrooms, both with parquet flooring and exposed beams, adding charm and character. A modern shower room with a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet completes this level. Outside, the property features a gated driveway leading to a carport with a concrete slab, as well as a convenient storage shed. Set on a generously sized adjoining plot, the property includes a park-like walled garden bordered by a natural stream, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere and character of the location. Ideally situated on the edge of the vibrant commune of Ruffec, the property offers easy access to all amenities, including shops, schools, cafes, restaurants, and a train station. The cities of Angoulême and Poitiers are less than an hour away, while airports offering international connections, including flights to the Uk, are accessible in under 45 minutes. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully renovated house in an exceptional riverside setting, combining modern comfort with timeless charm.
