Description
There are properties that stand the test of time without ever losing their soul. This character-filled residence, forming part of a former 15th-century château, is a remarkable example.
Ideally located in the heart of the triangle formed by La Rochelle, Rochefort and Surgères, just a few minutes from La Rochelle and the Atlantic coast, this magnificent stone property offers a rare living environment combining authenticity, tranquillity and elegance.
Set on a plot of more than 6,000 m², entirely located within a zone where construction is permitted, the property also offers genuine potential for subdivision, depending on your plans. It enjoys a privileged setting with mature landscaped grounds and a charming pond.
Shops, schools, services and healthcare professionals are all within walking distance, while a railway station just a few minutes away provides convenient connections to La Rochelle and Paris.
Behind its stone façade, the house reveals all the charm of its original features, including exposed stone walls, timber beams, fireplaces and generous living spaces.
The ground floor comprises a spacious entrance hall, a living room with a fireplace, a fully fitted and equipped kitchen with a dining area, and a bedroom with its own en-suite shower room.
On the first floor, two further bedrooms each benefit from their own en-suite shower room.
The top floor features a magnificent open-plan space beneath an exposed timber roof structure, offering outstanding potential for conversion into additional bedrooms, a wellness area, a games room, a home office or any other bespoke living space.
From a technical perspective, the property's current energy rating is primarily due to the existing wood-burning stove used as the main heating system. Underfloor heating has already been installed throughout the house; all that remains is to connect the heating source of your choice, whether an air-to-water heat pump, a boiler or any other compatible system. Once connected, this installation will allow the underfloor heating to operate as intended while offering the potential to optimise the property's energy performance.
Rich in history, this rare property will appeal to lovers of period homes. Whether as a family residence, a country retreat or a boutique hospitality project, it offers a unique setting where the finest projects can come to life.
The fees are to be paid by the seller.
