Magnificent charentaise farmhouse and former Cognac distillery
Surrounded by beautiful vineyards and sunflower fields, this charming stone Charentaise farmhouse is set in a quiet hamlet, approximately 40 km from the coast and just a few minutes’ drive from the vibrant spa town of Jonzac, with its cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, and train station offering direct links to Bordeaux.
The main house is notably energy-efficient thanks to its solar panels and offers five bedrooms — one on the ground floor and four upstairs — along with two spacious shower rooms, one of which also features a bath and bidet.
Entered through an impressive entrance hall, currently home to a grand piano, glass doors lead to a comfortable dual-aspect living room and a separate dual-aspect dining room, both enjoying lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The generous family kitchen, complemented by a separate utility room, features a large farmhouse dining table. At one end, a charming conservatory overlooks the landscaped gardens, while at the other, a cosy seating area with a fireplace provides the perfect spot for winter evenings.
Upstairs, there are four further well-proportioned bedrooms as well as a very large attic space offering additional potential (subject to local planning regulations).
Adjoining the house is an extensive area with large windows, formerly part of the Cognac distillery. This space offers excellent potential for conversion into additional accommodation or even a gîte or two, subject to the necessary permissions.
The property sits within beautifully maintained gardens of just under 1.25 acres, featuring a dedicated decked seating area (with electricity), ideal for enjoying the stunning sunsets. There is also ample space to install a swimming pool, subject to planning permission. The grounds also include a large barn, a carport — part of the former distillery housing the original Cognac vats — and a truly magical 12th century vaulted wine cellar.
Also included with the property are 2 garages, which are opposite the main house on their own plot.
Ideally situated to enjoy quiet country living, yet with a few minutes' drive to shops and restaurants, this handsome house is a spacious, comfortable and energy-saving family home bursting with potential! Early viewing is highly recommended.

If this or other properties are of potential serious interest, you may wish to speak in confidence and without obligation or commitment with a sympathetic senior negotiator to discuss what flexibility there may be in the price.
Getting the right deal can be a question of good timing and we have that information.
Whatever you read in the press, it is simply not true that one can apply a percentage discount to the price of any property we like the look of. And it is a real shame to fall in love with a property that is beyond what you wish to spend or can afford.
