Full Description
A wonderful opportunity to purchase this manor house with its own apartment, original chapel and 7 gites (a future owner may need to reapply for the necessary permissions and business registration). Set in over 16000m2 of grounds this superb property, on the edge of a bustling village and close to the soon to be spa town of St Jean d'Angély, has been tastefully transformed into a business.
Entering the manor house via the imposing double set of stairs, you arrive directly into the hallway leading in turn into the large banquet hall with original flooring and an impressive fireplace. An authentic wooden staircase leads up to 4 spacious and airy en suite bedrooms as well as an original chapel with stain glass windows dating back to the 17th century. Downstairs there is a large vaulted cellar, currently being used as an equipped gymnasium, with tremendous potential for the future owners of this magnificent manor house.
From the hallway there is another staircase leading to a split-level 2 bedroom apartment, complete with a fully equipped kitchen/dining room, sitting room and bathroom.
Attached to the manor house is a set of buildings that have been tastefully restored to house 5 gites, each of which offer character and a wealth of original features. All have a fully-equipped kitchen, ample living space, good sized bedrooms and bathrooms and look out over the beautifully presented central courtyard.
To the other side of the courtyard is an impressively large open barn overlooking the well-laid gardens and courtyard. A perfect venue for summer functions and weddings. To the back of this barn there are two further, very tastefully laid out gites, both of which open onto the property's beautiful park landscaped with trees, the large swimming pool area and a well-sized green space for running around and enjoying the microclimate of the region.
There are further buildings, currently used for storage but with the potential for additional accommodation. Tucked away in a sheltered corner is a very cute bar, with indoor and outdoor seating and a children's playground. There is heating throughout, both with heat pumps and an oil boiler. Added to this, if required, is the possibility of additional land.
A small town with shops and restaurants is less than 2km away, 40 minutes by car takes you to Surgères with its TGV station and the airports of Bordeaux and La Rochelle are very accessible.
This is a rare and exciting opportunity, combining local history with great business potential. Viewing is highly recommended.
Other DPEs are available on request.
