Quality Renovations in The Charente - Example - Cottage near Angouleme
Situated about 10 minutes from the beautiful hill top city of Angouleme in the Charente region of South West France, this property
was virtually derelict when it was acquired it in 2005. The original building was basically a "one up one down" labourers cottage.
Behind the cottage, framed by a beautiful "pannier" archway had once been a large barn, which had now no roof or internal
structure remaining. Our designs added a double storey extension inside one end of the old barn, facing onto a landscaped
courtyard, turning the property into a three bed roomed quality family home with a superb exposed stone bathroom. The ground
floor of the new extension contained a large fitted kitchen with French Doors out into the courtyard.

The photographs below show various views of the completed project. The property was originally purchased in late 2005 for around 50,000 Euros. A further 90,000 was
spent on the renovations, and it was sold in early 2007 for 198,000 Euros. As a guide, a similar property today could be brought in a neglected state for around 65k
Euros. With a further 90 - 100k Euros for a similar quality renovation, you could expect the finished house to be valued at over 220k Euros, even in todays difficult market .
Which means that from the day of completion, your "search and renovate" home has almost certainly produced a potential profit to you of 60k Euros !! .... not bad capital
growth ... and you have the beautiful holiday home that you couldn't find through Estate Agents. That is why we are proud to promote "Search and Renovate" as the ideal
solution for those seeking affordable quality in our beautiful region of South West France.
