This superb stone Water Mill is in an idyllic location, with extensive grounds of over 8 hectares of land and no close neighbours.

This haven of peace has uninterrupted views across its private grounds which include 450m of river frontage, a waterfall, a lake of around 2000m2, five springs, woodland, fields, an orchard, several kilometres of paths for nature walks, mature trees, shrubs, a variety of plants and flowers, and fruit trees. The land would be ideal for horses or other animals, and local amenities are only a short drive or bike ride away in Champagne-Mouton.

The property has recently been upgraded and has a new kitchen, entrance hall and shower room. It offers ground floor living, and in addition has a self-contained gite/apartment on the first floor, and an independent studio/gite, providing opportunities for rental income.

An attached barn has potential for conversion to further accommodation (with relevant planning permissions). Beneath the main house are 4 storage rooms where you will find the newly installed heat-pump. There is also a charming old bakery which can be used as an outdoor dining-area, currently used as a studio and work room, with a covered terrace..

Fibre internet is available and therefore ideal for remote working.

The department of Charente is located in the centre-west of France and is part of the Poitou-Charentes region along with Deux Sevres, Charente Maritime and the Vienne department.

Its name as is often the case comes from the river Charente which snakes through the department. Two local dialects are spoken in the area, Saintongeais in the west and Occitan to the east.

Charente is a thriving department for several reasons, Cognac production is one of the most interesting and profitable industries, the export level of approx. 95% is a success, the consumption in France being only 5% (some say they keep the best 5% in France!).

The department has many typical towns, Angouleme in the south east for example hosts an international festival that attracts hundreds of visitors and is not to be missed.

The region is popular with hikers, bikers and nature lovers who like to discover the woodlands, lakes and streams that are part of this amazing landscape.
