LESSAC, Charente 16500

Reference: TXNV-T15446. Our local agent Andy Portsmouth offers you this fabulous converted railway station, operating from 1887, retaining the original ticket counter in-between the living room (station waiting room) and dining room (station ticket office), and the cast-iron fireplace with metal plate bearing the symbol of the Paris Orlans' railway company. Plus, there is still the fabulous external signage, Chef de Station and Salle d'Attente , and the platform clock ... the current owners have even installed double-glazing in the traditional colour of the original Paris Orleans' railway company. On a lovely plot of land of 3000m2, only a minute or two easy walk into the village centre with caf/restaurant/grocery shop/tabac, hairdresser, and 10-minutes to the historic town of Confolens with supermarkets and all services, this is a charming and comfortable place to live. There are some nice restaurants in the area too. Downstairs, the huge dual-aspect living room (34m2) with working open fireplace opens to both the front and back gardens, and to the dining room (20m2) which also opens to the back garden and to the kitchen (17m2, with logburner). Upstairs, there are three bedrooms (21m2, 17m2, 15m2), the largest with an ensuite shower room, plus there's another large shower room. The house is fully re-wired, and the current owners since 2015 have fully redecorated, and re-done the two shower rooms. There is oil central heating, a well-insulated roof, and insulated cellar ceiling. There is ample parking in front of the house, with the amazing original huge iron gate in good condition, and two garages. These railway houses are very solidly built, with iron beams and quality stone walls. Note that the attached building, the old goods depot, is not part of the property, it's not in use.
