Our local agent Andy Portsmouth offers you this stone house (semi-detached) with pool in an idyllic natural setting just a short walk from the centre of this historic small town.

With a large garden running alongside a beautiful stream, set in lush greenery near a beautiful old mill, is this restored stone house of around 300 years old.

Despite its position close to the town centre, all the windows of the house look onto lush greenery and onto the large garden with in-ground heated pool. There is ample easy private parking,

The current owners have made high quality renovations, with beautiful new parquet floors downstairs, exposed stone fireplaces, exposed walls and beams, while upstairs very old floorboards of varying widths have been beautifully revealed.

The front door, hundreds of years old with hand-made nails and a heavy knocker, opens to a tiled hallway, to your left you'll enter the kitchen-dining room (24m2) that opens to the back garden and terrace. This kitchen-dining room connects through modern glass internal doors to the living room (30m2) with logburner and an heat/cool air-air heatpump unit - this room also opens to the garden.

From the hallway the original oak staircase leads up to a spacious and bright landing, and to three double bedrooms each with air-to-air heat-pump units, for heating and cooling - the largest bedroom, 25m2, has windows on two sides including a full-length one with Juliet balcony facing the garden and stream. Another, of 13m2, has a beautiful stone fireplace and chimney breast, and the third bedroom is 18m2. There's a recently-done quality bathroom with bathtub, large walk-in shower, and two washbasins.

The house has a modern septic tank (conformed when tested in 2019). Most of the windows (except two) are double-glazed. The house is not floodable. There is a storage room accessed from outside, of approximately 20m2.

Confolens is a small friendly town of 3500 people on the Vienne river, with many historic streets dating back 500 years or more, and a cobbled old stone bridge. The town has café/restaurants, supermarkets, and most other facilities that you might need, along with a good community, and is surrounded by beautiful countryside and lovely villages.
