5 Bed House for sale
Neuvicq-le-Chateau, Charente-Maritime, Poitou-Charentes, France
Full Description
This is our beautiful house which we are selling privately.
It sits in a tiny village in the middle of the Charente Maritime countryside and enjoys a privileged position overlooking the fifteenth century Renaissance chateau - which is literally at the bottom of the garden! The views from the south facing terrace are stunning.
We have priced the house to sell and there are no estate agent fees. Most of the rooms have just been painted and mains drainage connection is in progress.
The house has five bedrooms, four reception rooms, two huge convertible attics, a barn, a massive garage and a workshop. The opportunities it offers are endless.
The chateau itself is not habited. It houses the Mairie’s office and the tiny village post office.
Countryside walks are on your doorstep and it's a ten minute drive to the nearest town for all the usual amenities (supermarkets, banks, doctors, boulangerie, tabac, bars, restaurants etc). Cognac is less than half an hour away with all its sophisticated shops, restaurants and bars. The west coast of France is around 1.5 hours away where you'll find cosmopolitan seaside towns and stunning beaches.

Outside there's a lawned garden area and a long driveway, the bottom part of which could house three cars. There is also parking in front of the house because the village is small and quiet.
There's a barn ( 62 m2 with the same amount of space on the upper floor), an additional storage room at the far end of the barn and a garage of 104 m2. At the end of the garage is a sliding door which takes you onto a viewing platform/small garden area with magnificent views of the chateau and the countryside beyond. The garage could easily accommodate eight cars, perfect for the classic car enthusiast. There is also a huge workshop of over 100 m2.
The nearest airport is La Rochelle (an hour a fifteen minutes) and Limoges, Poitiers and Bordeaux airports are all around 1.5 hours away. Angouleme is a thirty minute drive which has access to the N10 motorway as well as TGV connections to Paris and Bordeaux. The house is within a five hour drive of both Caen and Roscoff ferry ports and it is around seven hours from Calais.
The shower room is downstairs and there's a separate downstairs w.c. Upstairs is a toilet and sink/washroom and one of the bedrooms has a washbasin,. The house would benefit from an upstairs bathroom.
We are selling privately so there are no estate agent fees and we have priced the house to sell. Some of the furniture is available by negotiation. If you are interested and what more information please get in touch.
