Authentic Charentaise Home, 5 Bedrooms, Garage and Gardens

Property Description

On the banks of the Charente, in a charming village in the Saintonge hinterland, designated a “small town of character”, a “village of stone and water” and a “town of arts and crafts”, this 19th-century home invites you to step back in time… Its character and elegance, fine materials and generous proportions will instantly captivate you, while its secluded gardens, beside the river and along the cliff, invite you to daydream...
Follow me on a tour...

We will enter through a superb hallway, with magnificent original cement tiles underfoot, setting the tone for the rooms ahead...
On either side, we will discover the 27 m² living room, filled with light and featuring a beautiful fireplace; the 20 m² dining room, overlooking the garden; a separate 12 m² kitchen; a 17 m² bedroom; and a shower room with toilet.

We will then take the old wooden staircase, which leads to four magnificent bedrooms on the first floor (11.4 m², 18.3 m², 20.8 m² and 37.8 m²). They retain their period character, with wooden floors and exposed ceiling beams. One bedroom reveals a genuine piece of heritage: an authentic Dufour printed panorama on domino paper, with all its sheets, dating from before 1827 and adding a further touch of authenticity. A truly authentic interior that transports us to the past… A bathroom, a separate toilet and a 48 m² games room complete this floor.

Finally, on the second floor, we will discover a fifth bedroom of 17 m² and two attic spaces of 35 m² and 51 m², offering superb views of the traditional roof structure.

Back on the ground floor, you can easily imagine enjoying breakfast on the east-facing terrace, with its old stone paving and authentic arch inviting you to explore the garden... Across the street to the west, the Charente will draw you in and invite you to enjoy dinner at sunset...

To complete this family property, there is a large attached garage and a utility room.
The property has oil-fired heating, single-glazed wooden windows and is connected to the mains drainage system. It is ready for its future owners to carry out a full renovation and bring it back to life...

As for its surroundings, the house is on a quiet, flower-lined street in Saint-Savinien, a village between Saintes and Rochefort offering a wide range of amenities (around fifteen shops, a weekly market, nurseries, schools, a secondary school, a railway station, a medical centre, a pharmacy, a supermarket and an independent cinema, among others), all within walking distance of the property. Saint-Savinien is a charming village steeped in history, which has successfully modernised while remaining lively, with cultural events throughout the year!
