Maison De Maître De 1840 Dans Un Écrin De Verdure Avec Piscine Et Dépendances Aux Portes D'angoulême

Just 20 minutes from Angoulême and 5 minutes from Rouillac, in the heart of the Charente countryside, lies a rare property: an elegant manor house built in 1840, formerly an agricultural estate now reinvented as a distinctive family home.

Spanning approximately 267 m² of living space over three levels, the house perfectly combines the charm of historic architecture, generous volumes, and the comfort of a carefully executed contemporary renovation started in 2020.

Once owned by a local artist, it has retained a unique atmosphere along with some original materials and features that still tell its story.

A characterful home with generous spaces

From the entrance, the house asserts its elegance and character.

The ground floor welcomes you with a beautiful entrance that leads to the living areas. The dining room, comfortable in all seasons thanks to underfloor heating, connects to an open kitchen and dining area, creating a warm and convivial space.

The living room offers a more intimate atmosphere, while a shower room with toilet completes this level. There is also direct access to the cellar.

A remarkable master suite

The first floor reveals one of the home’s signature features.

It includes a guest bedroom, a shower room with toilet, and a laundry room before unveiling a true private master area.

The main bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom with toilet and a dressing room. It extends into a spectacular, light-filled room currently set up as a large office.

Thanks to its many windows, this space offers multiple possibilities: private lounge, library, home office, or artist’s studio.

Together, these form almost an independent apartment within the house, with particularly pleasant volumes and rare privacy.

A top floor under the beams

On the second floor, the atmosphere becomes cozier and warmer.

Beneath exposed beams, a large landing converted into a playroom serves two bedrooms equipped with closets and ample storage.

This floor is ideal for children, teenagers, or guests, giving them their own private space.

A garden like a green cocoon

Outside, the charm of the property takes on a special dimension.

The garden forms a true green cocoon, intimate and secluded, where vegetation naturally envelops the house and its outbuildings.

At the heart of this setting stands a majestic, centuries-old linden tree reigning over the grounds. A true botanical monument and silent witness to the property’s history, it gives the garden a presence and atmosphere rarely found.

Beneath its wide canopy lies a naturally shaded and cool outdoor space in summer, especially pleasant when temperatures rise. One can easily imagine a large table set under its branches, long lunches, a few chairs for reading in the shade, or simply enjoying the garden’s coolness.

More than just an outdoor area, this garden is a living space in its own right, protected by vegetation and marked by the seasons.

Charentais outbuildings and entertaining spaces

The property’s agricultural history is also revealed through its remarkable outbuildings.

A large barn with its imposing Charentais porch immediately adds character to the ensemble. There is also a workshop and a carport, offering many possibilities for use and layout.

Even more unique, a former annex house has been transformed into a true reception room.

Its large open fireplace creates a warm setting for long dinners, family meals, and evenings with friends. An independent space that allows generous hosting while preserving the privacy of the main house.

Pool and the art of living

In fine weather, life naturally extends around the 8 × 4 meter pool, treated with chlorine and protected by a dome that facilitates maintenance and extends its use.

Between the coolness offered by the ancient linden tree, the reception areas, outbuildings, and pool, the outdoor spaces have been designed as places to fully enjoy the fine days.

The property is fully enclosed and accessible via an automatic gate, thus preserving the tranquility and privacy of this haven.

The charm of 1840 with today’s performance

The renovation begun in 2020 has provided this old home with a highly appreciated level of comfort without erasing its identity.

Heating is based on a hybrid heat pump/oil system, with underfloor heating in the dining room and central heating with beautiful cast iron radiators throughout the rest of the house.

The property also benefits from double glazing, fiber optic internet, and a recent individual wastewater treatment system compliant with standards.

Remarkably for a house of this age and size, its energy performance is excellent:

- Energy Performance Certificate (DPE): B (74 kWh/m²/year)
- Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GES): A (5 kg CO₂/m²/year)

The Charente countryside 20 minutes from Angoulême

Saint-Genis-d’Hiersac offers essential daily amenities, including a bakery, a multi-service bar-restaurant, and nursery and primary schools.

Just 5 minutes by car, Rouillac complements this with shops and services, while Angoulême is about 20 minutes away.
