Villebois-Lavalette, Charente 16320

Perched on a hill overlooking a vast undulating plain, dominated by its imposing medieval castle, Villebois-Lavalette exudes a serenity where it is good to stroll. From the old market halls with their market every Saturday, to the alleys full of history, which hide small architectural gems. I am delighted to be able to present to you one of these gems, a 19th century mansion in old stone, formerly the old convent and the girls' school, with high ceilings, large windows, a beautiful curved staircase from the period, old parquet floors and access by an electric door to the beautiful park and the garage, all on a plot of 1400 m2. With an air of grandeur this elegant building of approximately 240 m2 of living space invites you to visit. The entrance hall with a beautiful staircase, serves the living room with fireplace, the dining room, a kitchen equipped with old terracotta tiles, a laundry room with a city gas boiler, a shower room and a storage room. Once up the beautiful staircase, we find a landing that ends in a charming balcony overlooking the street. Four beautiful bedrooms (16, 20, 20 and 24 m2) with old floors and two shower rooms complete this floor. The same staircase serves the 2nd floor, where there is a fifth bedroom, plus a large attic that can be converted. The small cellar, mains drainage and city gas heating (boiler from 2022) contribute to everyday comfort. The same goes for the garage and the annex room with large windows (old school becomes a painter's studio?) which are located at the back of the park, accessible by a small back street. The undeniable asset of this exceptional village property lies in the unique combination of a central location, its allure, immediately habitable, a beautiful landscaped garden and its park with garage and workshop.
