A Tale of Two Cottages – Live In One, Create the Other!
Tucked away in a peaceful hamlet just moments from the beautiful Haute Charente lakes, this charming renovation project offers the best of both worlds. Already on hand is a fully-habitable, beautifully-renovated 2-bed cottage, ready to enjoy from day one.
Attached is a second, considerably larger cottage, just waiting for its finishing touches. The essentials are already in place with the kitchen and en suite shower room installed, and the remaining rooms almost ready to complete. The living room is the main canvas for your imagination, offering the chance to really put your own stamp on the space and create something special.
To the rear, a private garden provides a lovely spot for outdoor dining, relaxing, or soaking up the tranquil countryside atmosphere.
An exciting opportunity for anyone looking to combine immediate comfort with a rewarding project – whether you’re dreaming of extra guest accommodation, a larger family home or a rental investment in a sought-after location.
Price including agency fees : 99 000 €

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.
