Stone walls and historic beams set the tone at La Maison De l’Eglise, where the pace of rural village life unfolds in the Charente countryside. This traditional home carries a sense of heritage, its character revealed through exposed masonry and a warm, lived-in feel that invites you to settle in from the moment you arrive.
Inside, the farmhouse kitchen forms the heart of the house, centred around a classic aga and flowing easily into a pretty dining area. The living room offers a relaxed setting for evenings together, with soft light filtering through the pretty windows. Downstairs, a dedicated games room brings a more playful energy, complete with a pool table, table football and bar with stools, creating an easy space for both adults and children to unwind.
Upstairs, four thoughtfully arranged bedrooms include a wood-beamed master en suite bedroom, alongside an additional double and a twin room, served by a good-sized family shower room.
Outside, the courtyard garden is designed for long, unhurried days, with a private pool (which can be heated for a supplement) and its surrounding terrace. Loungers line the water’s edge, while a shaded dining area sets the scene for relaxed lunches and evening meals together. Table tennis adds another touch of easy entertainment, and private gated parking ensures a seamless stay.
Set in a small rural village near the village church, the house offers an authentic base within easy reach of local highlights. A short drive leads to another local village for fresh bread and a simple meal out, while Aigre and Ruffec provide lively markets, cafés and everyday amenities. The surrounding region invites exploration, from riverside walks and historic towns to vineyard visits in Cognac.
Whether gathering with family or enjoying a slower rhythm of life, this characterful home offers a setting where simple rural pleasures can be appreciated.
- Despite the village location (near the church), a car is essential to be able to reach restaurants, shops and other local amenities. Gated car parking is available.
- The friendly yet discreet owners live opposite the house.
