Poitou-Charentes, Charente, Segonzac, France

Opening into a grand entrance hall, to the left is an elegant formal salle à manger, easily accommodating a table for 14 plus. The vast, modern kitchen is down a shallow flight of stairs, and the two rooms together provide a wonderful open aspect for dining and entertaining. The kitchen is temperature-controlled for comfort whatever the weather.

To the right of the hallway are 4 further sitting rooms , the ones to the rear having access to the beautiful rear terraces. Of these 4, there is one with a small corner kitchen installed – ideal for guests or staff.

Also accessed from the hallway and down a few steps is a fully-equipped vestiaire with WC, and further steps lead down to the basement level, which provides a laundry room and plenty of storage. Back to the main entrance and up the stunning original staircase to the first floor, where there are four exquisite bedrooms (1 en suite) and a family bathroom. There is also a large roof terrace accessed from the first floor.

On the top floor are 3 further bedrooms (1 en suite), and a family bathroom in the Jack and Jill style which is shared by the other 2 bedrooms (ideal for a family with young children).

All the bedrooms are air-conditioned.

More guest accommodation, a separate wing indeed, is found in a converted barn area, attached to the main house and consisting of 2 distinct areas: downstairs with 2 substantial bedrooms (both en suite), while upstairs there is a magnificent 3-bedroom apartment with a large living room and kitchen area, and a family bathroom. All bedrooms in this wing are airconditioned.

The owner, a keen equestrian, has developed and landscaped much of the land to suit horses. The paddocks are fully fenced (mostly post and rail) and both have water points. There is a 40m x 20m menage with a Martin Collins surface. The stable yard includes 4 large stables (one currently used as a tack room) with Monarch stable doors, and one of the new outbuildings is designated for hay, feed, and tool storage. The enclosed stable yard also has several water points.

The garden areas have been thoughtfully landscaped and give superb views from all sides of the property.

The house has been renovated to the highest standards possible, with no expense spared.

Original features have been respected and restored where possible.
