This very impressive Beaux-Arts style stone town house is just a few minutes walk from the very heart of the historic town of Cognac - it would make a great B&B or stylish boutique hotel.

Just a few hundred yards from the heart of Cognac, this house could easily be turned into a very comfortable B&B or perhaps a small hotel.

House

Ground floor

A flight of stone steps rise from the front door to the entrance hall with original herringbone parquet floor. To the right a door opens into an elegant reception room (25 sq m - 4m ceiling height!) with part-panelling to the walls, carved fireplace, moulded plaster ceiling coving and parquet floor. To the left of the hall a door opens into a room currently used as an office (25 sq m - mirroring the first reception room). To the rear of the hall to the right a doorway opens into the main reception room (40 sq m) with parquet floor, wooden fireplace, moulded plaster ceiling coving, very high ceilings. Four large windows allow plenty of light into the room. A set of double doors lead from the main reception room back into the first reception room. The kitchen (20 sq m) is reached from either the main reception room or from the entrance hall. A glazed door leads out onto a terrace and then into the courtyard garden.

First floor

A large wooden staircase rises from the entrance hall to a large first floor landing off which are four large bedrooms (25 sq m, 25 sq m, 25 sq m and 14 sq m). All of these bedrooms have fireplaces, two have ensuite bathrooms and the other two have ensuite shower rooms.

Second floor

The staircase continues to the second floor landing off which are three bedrooms (16 sq m, 13 sq m and 18 sq m). There is also a large (16 sq m) bathroom with bath and shower.

Attic

There is an as yet unconverted attic space of about 80 sq m.

Basement

The basement covers the same surface area the ground floor and is divided into a number of rooms.

There is a sitting room (16m2), second kitchen (26m2), a gym with sauna, shower and wc (15m2) a hall with side door to the street, a workshop and the boiler room.

Most of these have windows and there is sufficient head height to turn these rooms into comfortable accommodation if required.
