3 bedroom house for sale

Located in the heart of Saintonge and its history, this magnificent 16th C. property looks like Tuscany. Its stone walls, its trees and its dominating views over the top of the hill, with its terraced outdoors below, once offering a French garden, and a pond being restored, provide it a particular and elegant look. Rich of its history, this house was modified with centuries and now offers 280 sq. mt. of living surface, totally and carefully restored, with 2.6 hectares of grounds. Entirely built on a single storey, it consists of three luminous bedrooms, each with an outdoor access, two bathrooms and a study. At the end of the house, a laundry and a workshop still offer, if necessary, scope to further conversion. A living room consisting of a kitchen and a warm dining room with fireplace-stove, a cozy living room, with parquet floor and stone fireplace, also with a wood stove, and a vast and splendid 50 sq. mt. reception room with its majestic fireplace and its exceptional decorated ceilings. The house was built on a vaulted cellar of 25m length, very suitable to store wines. A verandah is leant on the south-facing facade, on garden side. On the West side of the property is an impressive outbuilding's stone wing, built in the reign of Louis XIII and converted into a wine storehouse in the 17th C. It is vaulted on 65 m length and 7 m width, with a storey where you will appreciate the roof-shaped hull boat overturned which provide more space in the room. Offering a recent heat pump as a heating system, wooden double glazing, and widely restored in recent years, there is no major work needed before moving in. Restored with traditional materials, the property remains charming and authentic. With a good project, you could renovate the incredible outbuilding of the property.
