This is a large townhouse with a sizeable garden in the heart of this popular market town. It could make an extremely comfortable family home, a letting investment, a B&B or - as currently used - a wonderful venue for house parties!

This house and the chateau next door were both built by the same builder brothers circa 1848 from the stones of Jarnac’s original chateau. To the right of the hall a door opens into an informal sitting room / library (18 sq m) with wooden floor. From here a door opens to a service corridor from which the stairs to the extensive cellars are accessed. This corridor leads through to the kitchen (16 sq m) with tiled floor, all new fitted units, double eye level oven, dishwasher, fridge, washing machine etc. There is also a utility room. A door from the kitchen opens back to the central hallway. A glazed door at the end of the hall opens onto a large rear terrace. On the other side of the hall are a delightful Salon and Dining room both of which have large marble fireplaces and newly swept chimneys.
The original sweeping wooden staircase rises from the centre of the hall to both upper floors and there is a WC below the stairs. Two pairs of glazed doors in the hall can be closed to isolate the stairwell. The stairs rise to a large first floor landing (14 sq m) off which are four bedrooms (25 sq m,
25 sq m, 18 sq m and 16 sq m). Three of the bedrooms have ensuite shower rooms (shower, washbasin and WC) and two have "boudoirs" - small rooms overlooking the garden that are large enough for an armchair and table. The fourth bedroom has an ensuite comprising a bathroom (bath with overhead shower, washbasin and WC). The staircase continues to the second floor landing off which are two further bedrooms (18 sq m and 13 sq m), a shower room (shower, washbasin and WC). Also off the landing is a large attic which could be incorporated into further habitable accommodation. A pair of large electronic gates provide access from the road. The car parking area holds 10/12 cars. The garden is mainly laid to lawn with a number of mature trees. There is also access to the extensive tiled cellars from the garden.
To one end of the garden is a swimming pool (will require some work).
