About this place
For sale is a five-bedroom house with additional properties and barns to renovate, located in a small hamlet near St Christophe in the Charente. This deceptively spacious house, formerly two separate homes, features some original characteristics and comes with a barn, cottage, and another smaller building, which could be developed into two attractive gîtes.
The main residence includes two living rooms, a kitchen, five bedrooms, and two bathrooms, making it suitable for either full-time living or as a holiday retreat. It is positioned in a tranquil hamlet, within walking distance of the village of St. Christophe and only eight minutes' drive from Brigueuil, where essential services such as a bakery, butcher, post office, pharmacy, and bar can be found.
In just 19 minutes, you can reach the towns of Confolens and Saint Junien, both situated on the Vienne River, which offer markets, boutique shops, and parks with facilities for sports. This property serves as a great base for exploring more of the Vienne, Charente, and Charente Maritime, with numerous attractions accessible by car. Limoges airport and the train station are just 32 minutes away, with good train connections to other major cities in France and beyond. The house has mains water and electricity, while drainage is facilitated by a septic tank that was inspected in 2021. Additional heating is provided by bottled gas and a wood-fired system.
The property requires some modernisation, allowing you to infuse your personality into the delightful spaces. The outbuildings offer potential for quaint gîtes, enhancing the property's rental appeal or for accommodating guests.

France places no restrictions on foreign property ownership. The notaire (a public official, not a lawyer for either side) handles the conveyance and is paid by the buyer. A French bank account is strongly recommended for completion funds and ongoing charges.
No residency requirement to buy.
Non-resident mortgages available from French banks, typically 70–80% LTV with stricter affordability checks.
France abolished taxe d'habitation on primary residences (2023) but it still applies to second homes — and many communes now apply a surcharge of up to 60% on second homes in high-demand zones.
