Property Description

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION!
Set right on the edge of the popular and picturesque spa town of Jonzac you can live in the countryside, without losing the benefits of having the amazing amenities of a thriving town right on your doorstep (shops, restaurants, schools, train station, hospital etc.), all within walking distance. In addition, it is just one hour to Bordeaux by train and Bordeaux-Mérignac airport is about an hour by car. This spacious property, which is in need of some updating, has no immediate neighbours and is set in just under a hectare of grounds, looking out over the surrounding countryside, an idyll for nature lovers and birdwatchers. Whilst in need of some investment, this property needs to be viewed to be fully appreciated and will be a magnificent , well placed home with a little vision and love afforded to it.

On entering the main residence you will be welcomed into a large living space with an impressive fireplace and double height ceiling. This opens into a large second living and dining area, complete with a wonderful stone archway looking out over the terrace and swimming pool. The terrace with its outstanding countryside views, directly accessed from both the living area and from the kitchen, is the perfect place for entertaining and relaxing with family. The kitchen is equally impressive in size, with its own wood burning stove and space for a generous kitchen table. The grand open plan layout of the ground floor has a lovely flow to it and offers a real ambience of peace and relaxation.

The first floor of the property offers a large mezzanine style landing, easily large enough to create a third bedroom and a large bathroom, if you so wish and subject to the necessary permissions. Off the landing you will find two double bedrooms (the master has a walk-in wardrobe and space for an ensuite) and there is a shower room with a WC. Above the mezzanine there is a large velux window which floods the upper floor and the lower open plan level with light adding to the ambience.

The annexe to the main residence has been completely renovated and furnished, to offer a 4 person guest apartment. The charming living space boasts sitting, dining and kitchen areas. There is a bedroom, a large bathroom (bath, walk-in shower) and a separate WC. This apartment offers the potential for rental - subject to necessary permissions - (there is a high demand due to the thermal spas) - it could also be incorporated into the main accommodation for the private use of family and guests. It benefits from independent electric heating, and like the rest of the house, from double-glazing. Running along the back of the house there is a large garage / workshop, large utility area, boiler room and a barn. These offer the potential for further development.

The property is accessed via high quality gates, leading to the surrounding extensive gardens. The grounds are mainly left to grass with a number of mature specimen trees, shrubs and flower borders. A large paved terrace to the main side of the property gives access to the swimming pool. The property also has exterior lighting installed.
