EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES. Nestled in a verdant setting, this former 17th-century manor house (1643) is an exceptional property, lovingly cared for by its owners to preserve its beauty and prestige over the centuries. Today, it exudes the charm of a home, furnished and decorated with refined elegance, a timeless haven that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit. On one side, the property is bordered by a park of approximately 2 hectares with century-old trees, offering a prestigious driveway leading to the heart of the grounds, guarded by two imposing plane trees and an archway. On the other, an orchard of approximately 4,000 sqm along the banks of the Boutonne River defines the property's boundaries. This side is graced by a remarkable cylindrical dovecote surrounded by Virginia creeper, as well as a high stone wall sheltering the gate to the garden. Once the imposing wooden door is pushed open, a veritable bucolic paradise unfolds, enclosed by high stone walls and various period outbuildings. The vegetation, the swimming pool, and the buildings are in perfect harmony. This delightful scene evokes a profound sense of peace and happiness. Accessible from the terrace, the entrance offers a unique view of the property's design. A series of rooms leading to the living spaces showcases stone, cement tiles, and, in the distance, herringbone parquet flooring. The walls feature a rare and skillful blend of dressed stone and period bricks, sparking curiosity and inviting exploration of this beautiful home. The kitchen retains its beams and imposing fireplace, complemented by a magnificent range cooker and a stone sink. The dining room, on the other hand, displays a more bourgeois style with moldings and a marble-clad fireplace. Finally, the living room, with its numerous windows, stands out for its generous size and the warmth conferred by the parquet flooring and the views of the surrounding countryside. Before leading to the upper floor, the splendid stone staircase clad in wood opens onto the laundry room. On the landing, the first bedroom, now used as an office, offers views of the garden and the river at the front. As on the ground floor, a wide hallway furnished with sofas and chests of drawers provides access to the other rooms. The second bedroom is very spacious with direct access to the large bathroom. This bathroom, approximately 31 square meters, features a magnificent bathtub in the center of the room, as well as a shower area. Its terracotta tiles and wood paneling lend it considerable elegance. Next is the largest bedroom (approximately 30 square meters), which impresses with its size and light oak headboard. The fourth bedroom has an open-plan bathroom, cleverly concealed. In the garden, the main annex offers two levels of approximately 200 square meters each. The ground floor is currently used as a sewing workshop, while the upper floor serves as storage. A former aviary with impressive dimensions offers excellent potential for conversion. A vaulted cellar and a stable for a horse complete the property. This prestigious and impeccably maintained property will delight lovers of history and beautiful homes in a peaceful setting.
