So, imagine this: you’re looking for a place that’s not just a house, but a story. Well, we’ve got just the spot for you, tucked away in the medieval village of Tusson. This place, it used to be a grand old Logis, and you can really feel the history soaking through the walls. It’s got these really striking architectural features from the 19th century, done in a Neo-Gothic style, which is quite something. But don’t think it’s all dusty antiques – inside, it’s been given a really nice contemporary makeover. The main house has been updated, keeping its original character but adding all the modern comforts you’d expect, so you can move in and be comfortable right away.
Inside the Main Residence: Where History Meets Modernity
Walking into the main house is a bit of an experience. It’s like they’ve managed to perfectly balance the old with the new. You’ve got these really open, light-filled living areas. You can totally soak up that historic vibe while also enjoying the brand-new, high-quality renovations that have just been finished. They really didn’t hold back here. You’ll find extensive marble flooring, exposed stone walls that show off the building’s age, and a kitchen that’s a dream – it’s state-of-the-art and fully fitted. There’s a cool spiral staircase leading up, and for extra comfort, they’ve installed underfloor heating. And get this, there’s a huge barn attached, around 100 square meters, which is just perfect if you ever thought about needing more space or maybe adding a few extra bedrooms down the line. Honestly, this historic place is something you really need to see for yourself.
The main living quarters break down like this:
- A master bedroom that comes with its own private bathroom.
- Another guest bedroom, also with its own ensuite facilities.
- A kitchen that’s been recently installed and is totally state-of-the-art.
- An open-plan living area that flows nicely.
- A mezzanine space, offering a bit of extra room.
- A dedicated office space for getting work done.
- A second living room, giving you more options for relaxing.
- A convenient WC downstairs.
- A wine cellar for keeping your vintages.
- That massive barn, just waiting for its next chapter, perhaps for development.
The Exterior: Courtyards, Outbuildings, and Grounds
Now, let’s talk about the outside. You’ve got an enclosed courtyard, some outbuildings, and the grounds. It’s made up of two renovated buildings, both constructed from lovely golden stone. There’s a rather fascinating old watchtower, part of that Neo-Gothic facade you see, and then a separate old piggery. These are all arranged around the courtyard, and they’ve been really cleverly restored with a lot of thought, making the most of the existing architectural features. What’s brilliant is that they’ve been turned into two separate, fully equipped independent guest accommodations, each with a bedroom, kitchen, and living space. These are absolutely perfect if you often have friends or family visiting. Inside these enclosed walls, away from curious eyes, you’ll find a sauna and a jacuzzi, plus another cellar. And to round things off, there’s that vast barn, another 100 square meters, completing the whole setup. The grounds themselves stretch over 6000 square meters, offering views of the rolling green landscapes of the Charentais region. There’s plenty of space out here, even enough if you were thinking about adding a swimming pool. Access for vehicles is excellent, and there’s covered off-road parking for several cars.
Location, Location, Location
The location is something else. It’s right in the heart of the medieval village of Tusson. You’ve got local amenities like a well-known cake shop and tea room, food shops, restaurants, and bars, all just a short walk away. Plus, there are tons of attractions in the surrounding area – think country walks, cycling routes, water sports, and some really romantic historical buildings and chateaux to explore. If you need to travel further afield, the TGV train station in Angoulême is about 35 minutes away, and from there, it’s under two hours by train to Paris. The airports at Poitiers, Limoges, and Bordeaux are also within easy reach. It’s definitely a good idea to arrange a viewing early.
