Saint-Maurice-des-Lions, Charente 16500

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES Located in a small hamlet close to Saint-Maurice-des-Lions, this impressive former presbytery is believed to date from approximately 1735 and offers a wealth of character, generous accommodation and excellent flexibility. The main house is currently configured with four bedrooms and benefits from double-glazing throughout. An entrance hall leads into a spacious open-plan fitted kitchen, dining and living area with a large wood-burning stove. There is a separate office/study area with direct access outside, which could equally be utilised as a library, snug or additional lounge. A further generous room, currently used as a lounge/cinema room, could also be used as a ground-floor bedroom if required. The inner hallway retains access to the original large bread oven, which could potentially be exposed once again as a wonderful character feature, subject to any necessary permissions. A WC and utility cupboard complete the ground floor. A beautiful wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where there is an exceptionally spacious bedroom suite of over 40m², further generous bedrooms and flexible guest accommodation together with a family bathroom and separate shower room with WC. Outside, a private courtyard provides ample parking and access to a large barn, workshop and games room. The barn roof was replaced approximately nine years ago. The generous private garden offers several seating areas and a heated 8m x 4m swimming pool with roman steps and a depth of approximately 1.2m throughout. The property enjoys a peaceful rural setting while remaining conveniently located. Confolens is approximately 10 minutes away and Saint-Junien 20 minutes, both offering a good range of shops, restaurants and services. Limoges Airport is a 40-minute drive, making the property well placed for both permanent living and a second home.
