In the heart of Poitou, just 20 minutes south-east of Niort with its TGV station and approximately one hour from La Rochelle and the Île de Ré, this remarkable residence—shaped by successive centuries from the 15th through the 19th—stands within two hectares of fully walled grounds. Offering over 500 m² of living space, it combines architectural authenticity, generous volumes and a rare proximity to both countryside and cultural amenities.

Ground floor
The Logis opens onto an impressive 34 m² entrance hall with original stone flooring, refined ceiling rose and nearly three-metre ceiling height, immediately setting the tone of elegance and scale.

The principal reception rooms are arranged harmoniously around the central hallways. A superb dual-aspect sitting room of 36 m² runs north to south, bathed in natural light, featuring parquet flooring, marble fireplace, corniced ceilings and French windows opening directly onto the terrace.

A distinguished 30.50 m² office with wood panelling and fireplace connects to a charming winter garden and to the striking “bridge room” (42.31 m²), distinguished by its fireplace, parquet flooring and mezzanine gallery above.

On the opposite side, the formal dining room (30 m²) presents wood panelling, marble fireplace and decorative ceiling details.
The spacious kitchen/dining room (30 m²), with tiled flooring, also opens onto the terrace, creating an easy flow between interior and exterior living.

A service entrance with secondary staircase leads to practical areas including a utility room (with access to the caretaker’s house) and a laundry room.

A beautiful walnut staircase rises to the first floor, where parquet flooring extends throughout and ceiling heights remain generous.
The landing distributes several well-proportioned bedrooms. These include:
- Bedroom with fireplace and en-suite shower room
- Second large bedroom with fireplace
- Family bathroom
- Mezzanine overlooking the bridge room
- Spacious master suite with marble fireplace and private bathroom

Technical details
Heating is provided by an oil-fired system (De Dietrich boiler, 2003) with buried 3,000L tank. Various roofing works have been undertaken over recent decades, though some sections may require renewal.
