Poitou-Charentes, Charente-Maritime, Aulnay, France

Superb income-producing property with a total of 15 bedrooms, on the edge of a charming hamlet in the countryside of Charente Maritime.

Originally a cognac merchants' residence, this very nicely renovated property comes with a principal residence as well as 5 high quality gites and a range of very useful barns and outbuildings.

Set in almost 4 acres of land, it sits behind an imposing gated entrance and includes a walled garden, orchard and in-ground heated swimming pool.

The manoir itself offers 300m2 of elegant accommodation with high ceilings, original tiled and wooden floors as well as original fireplaces plus many other period features.

There is central heating (recently installed new oil-fired boiler) and double-glazing throughout.

The ground floor comprises a large entrance hall, a stunning 48m2 kitchen, 3 large light-filled reception rooms, a bathroom, a wc, an office and pantry.

On the first floor is a huge master bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite, a landing, a bathroom plus two further very large double bedrooms.

Stairs lead to a large attic space that could (subject to relevant permissions) be converted into further accommodation.

There are 5 x two and three bedroomed gites (four of which are centrally heated), all finished to a high standard with private outdoor dining areas.

In addition there is a large cinema/games room, an outdoor kitchen, a covered alfresco dining area and the superb heated in-ground pool.
