A unique and spacious home, full of charm and character, set in private, tree-filled grounds. This property is perfectly suited to use as a large family home, a luxurious holiday let or B&B, or a wonderful second home. Its highly sought-after location offers excellent connections: just 10 minutes from Surgères TGV station and a 30-minute drive from the Atlantic coast and La Rochelle.

The ground floor is designed to provide generous space for entertaining and comfort:

The main L-shaped kitchen is the heart of the home and provides access to various areas, including the superb heated indoor swimming pool. It connects directly to the rear entrance and a charming first sitting room, featuring a cosy wood-burning stove set in a beautiful stone fireplace.

A central dining room, with attractive tiled flooring, houses the wooden staircase leading to the first floor. Next door is a large, truly exceptional leisure room (currently a bar/reception room), distinguished by a huge open fireplace, double entrance doors, side access and a mezzanine above.

A second sitting room near the main entrance provides a peaceful space dedicated to relaxation.

Bedroom 1 has attractive tiled flooring and a wood-burning fireplace. Also on this floor are a shower room with a double washbasin and ample storage, and a separate WC. A second galley-style kitchen is situated at the rear.

A spacious open mezzanine overlooks the leisure room below and is currently used as a light-filled studio. A separate mezzanine, with built-in storage, overlooks the first sitting room.

Bedroom 3 has mirrored fitted wardrobes and leads to a spacious en-suite bathroom with a shower and double washbasin.

Bedrooms 2, 4 and 5 each have their own character (including the beautiful parquet flooring in bedroom 2) and enjoy pleasant views, with bedrooms 4 and 5 overlooking the rear terrace.

Bedroom 6 is accessed via a vestibule and has its own shower room and WC.

There is also a main bathroom with a walk-in shower, washbasin and WC, as well as a dedicated gym at the rear and an additional storage cupboard.

The heated pool room, accessed directly from the main kitchen, is a spectacular space with sliding doors that open onto the sunny rear terrace, creating a seamless transition between indoors and out. A small mezzanine overlooks the pool, with the pump room below.

Studio gîte: Situated in a private corner of the garden, this self-contained gîte comprises a sitting room/kitchen, a shower room and a private seating area at the front, making it ideal for generating rental income or welcoming guests.

The property includes a garage and workshop at the end of the paved driveway, as well as an additional room used for storage or as a workshop.

The mature, enclosed gardens include a greenhouse, a charming front garden with an ornamental pond and wooden bridge, and secure parking near the electric entrance gates.
