REAL ESTATE FOR SALE (€ Euro 200,800)
Town House for sale in Taillebourg Charente Maritime Poitou-Charentes France

Built on the ramparts of the historic town of Taillebourg, this townhouse constructed of finely cut local stone, has character, loads of space and restaurants, shops, schools etc on the doorstep. Taillebourg is a hilltop town on the banks of the River Charente where Eleanor of Aquitaine spent her honeymoon night and François I declared the view of the river was the prettiest in all France.
The property was formerly the post office and still has the original slot in the wall and a hatch into the hall where customers carried out their postal transactions. There's also a magnificent stone feature (see photos) salvaged from the original château.
Two reception rooms of 17 and 30 m2, each with old oak flooring, a fitted kitchen which boasts built-in barbecue and a door to the garden, make up the ground floor, whilst upstairs there are four bedrooms of generous sizes and a large landing. The bathroom with toilet is also found here and there's the possibility to fit a second shower room.
Central heating throughout, a large cellar and a garden which runs right to the edge of the ramparts, complete the attractions of this splendid property.
Early viewing recommended.
