Nestled within the charming medieval village of Tusson, this property, exclusively offered by Town and Country, presents a unique opportunity. It’s a former Logis, a building with a rich past, where you can see preserved architectural elements from the 19th-century Neo-Gothic period. Inside, however, the house has been updated with a modern touch, creating a comfortable and ready-to-move-in residence.
Stepping through the entrance, you’ll notice how the old and new have been brought together. The living spaces are open and filled with natural light, allowing you to appreciate the historical atmosphere while enjoying the benefits of recent, high-quality renovations. No corners were cut in the upgrades. You’ll find extensive marble flooring, exposed stone walls, a state-of-the-art fitted kitchen, a spiral staircase, and underfloor heating for added comfort.
Attached to the main house is a substantial barn, approximately 100 square meters. This space offers significant potential for additional living areas or extra bedrooms if ever needed. This historic property is definitely worth seeing.
The Main Residence
The main house itself includes several key features. There’s a master bedroom complete with its own bathroom facilities. Another bedroom also comes with ensuite facilities. The kitchen has been recently installed and is equipped with modern, high-quality appliances. The living area is designed in an open-plan style, creating a sense of flow. A mezzanine level provides an additional space, and there’s a dedicated office area for work or study.
For relaxation, there’s a second living room. A convenient WC is located on the downstairs level. The property also benefits from a wine cellar, perfect for storing your collection. And, as mentioned, the large barn provides ample space for future development.
Exterior Features and Additional Accommodations
The exterior of the property includes an enclosed courtyard, outbuildings, and grounds. Two buildings constructed from golden stone have been renovated. These include a distinctive watch tower, part of the original Neo-Gothic facade, and a former piggery. These structures are arranged around the courtyard and have been restored with attention to detail, preserving their architectural character.
These restored buildings now house two separate, fully equipped one-bedroom guest accommodations. Each has its own kitchen and living space, making them ideal for hosting friends and family. Within the enclosed courtyard walls, offering privacy, you’ll find a sauna and a jacuzzi. There’s also an additional cellar. To complete the ensemble, there’s another vast barn, measuring 100 square meters.
The grounds extend over 6000 square meters and offer views of the surrounding green countryside of the Charente region. There is ample space on the grounds for the installation of a swimming pool. Access to the property is good, with covered off-road parking available for several vehicles.
