Description:

A unique opportunity to purchase a French Logis dating from the C15th with a fully converted gite, a small house for restoration, a huge barn 200m with 2 levels possible with conversion potential, a superb 10 x 5 pool and over a hectare of land.

The ground floor has two entrances, the original and oldest being at the foot of the tower. This door takes you to the spiral stone staircase that leads to the upper two stories, or the dining room. Via the main entrance a hallway leads to the large kitchen/dining living area with a large carved stone fireplace fitted with a wood-burner with a back boiler for central heating. There is also pantry room, and a door leading to a study. Off the hall is a lobby with utility room, a WC, and a large vaulted 'cave'.

To the left of the front door is the lounge, with a huge feature fireplace and a large fitted wood-burner. From here is a door to the main dining room with the largest and oldest fireplace, and from the dining room a door to the original scullery.

The 1st floor has a landing, and facing the stairs is a stone archway leading to a large bright bedroom, a large bathroom with a glass shower cubicle, wc and basin. There is a reasonable sized single bedroom overlooking the rear of the property. A large double bedroom having a carved stone fireplace and double casement window overlooking the front garden. The Master Bedroom is a very large room with a magnificent stone fireplace and two sets of casement windows facing the front garden. The room has an en-suite bathroom and another door leading to another large room. At the back of of this room is an interconnecting room between it and the master en-suite. Intended by the previous owner to be an ancillary kitchen, but presently used as an office/storeroom it would make another ideal en-suite as it has water and drainage installed, or could be used as a dressing room etc.

The second floor of the tower, accessible by the spiral stone staircase is in need of full restoration, however it does have a new floor and window with good views across the open countryside.

Formerly the stables and coach house to the Logis, another building has been converted to a spacious holiday home with three bedrooms, the largest of which could easily be subdivided. The first floor is modern in feel, but has exposed beams to show its heritage. The ground floor is open plan and has kept several features, including the exposed ceilings and wishbone style beams, hay byres, tether rings, exposed stone wall and area of cobbled floor. The lounge has a large and very attractive old limestone fireplace.

Adjacent to the gite is the 10 x 5 swimming pool, with a triple filtration system consisting of skimmer basket, filter blanket and a large cartridge filter ensuring excellent water quality The pumping system is in the barn.

The barn is a substantial building and deceptively spacious once inside. Subject to planning permission it could provide up to 400m of habitation with the addition of a first floor.

There is a Guardian's house to renovate, this would make a lovely two up, possibly two down residence if the bread oven was completely demolished and a kitchen put within its walls. A new fosse septique would be necessary as there are no drains to the building. Interior dimensions of 6.1 x 5.4m.

Poitiers and la Rochelle are the nearest airports, with TGV stations available at St Maixent or Poitiers. (5788)
