If this property were on TripAdvisor it would surely be awarded 5 stars. Formerly a chapel, steeped in history, this is a perfect mix of original charm and modern convenience. The golden Charentaise stone glistens in the warm sunshine, the pool sparkles and the far reaching views are outstanding.
Chadurie is situated about 17 kms south of the cathedral city of Angoulême. There is a daily market in Angoulême (except for Mondays) and the city contains many interesting reminders of its historical significance as a fortress town. Bikes can be hired and with so many splendid cycle paths around it is well with doing. The coastline is an easy excursion and its long, sandy beaches are world renowned and attract many surfers. The region is considered an ideal place to have a summer vacation and the rental market is busy year round.
You will not need convincing that this property was built in the High Middle Ages. There are enormous stone fireplaces, exposed stone walls in almost all the rooms, ceilings with beams of massive proportions, slit windows, a vaulted cellar, and lots of nooks and crannies. It is a feast of character features. Yet, alongside you will find a well fitted, modern kitchen/breakfast room (32m²), up to date bathrooms and central heating.
As the photographs indicate, the design of the building is an open square with multiple levels and wings which add to its charm. The amazing master suite is housed in the original chapel and beneath the two sitting rooms there is a vaulted games room with a full size snooker table. All the bedrooms have their own private shower/bathroom. The kitchen opens onto a fabulous, poolside rear terrace, from where one can enjoy the 360º views over the Charentaise countryside. The property is approached via gated, private driveway and has ample parking.
Whilst the property is accessible by direct flights from the UK to La Rochelle, Limoges and Poitiers, most visitors to the region would probably choose make the 5 hour drive from the ferry port of St Malo.
