Saint-Martin-l'Ars, Charente 86350

A38503DD86 - This is a gorgeous house with a lot of appeal. The rooms are big and have been restored without losing the character of the house, including special paint for historic buildings imported specially from Germany as well as all products used for the renovation being sourced for their ecological benefits and to be in keeping with the age of the house. The former grenier (grain store) upstairs has been turned into two large bedrooms and a bathroom, cleverly incorporating the low beams so that they are quite congenial. The south-facing terrace leading to the garden can be stepped into from the sitting room through a glazed door and from the kitchen facilitating easy indoor/outdoor living. The house benefits from the original stone fish ponds which led to the name of the hamlet, and the garden offers all sorts of scope for play, gardening or just lounging around with a glass of wine.Easy access by air or train to Poitiers/Limoges or to drive from the western channel ports is about 450 km Information about risks to which this property is exposed is available on the Gorisques website :
