luxury apartment / penthouse with pool for sale Vienne, France

I'm Andy Portsmouth, the local agent for this beautifully renovated manor house dating from 1628, set in picturesque countryside just 2.5km from the pretty village of Pressac. With just under two hectares of land, a 200m² barn, a heated swimming pool and a garage, this is a spacious home full of character, with lovely places to relax both inside and out. A tree-lined driveway leads to grand iron gates, opening onto the property. The magnificent entrance hall, added in 1899, sets the scene: exposed stone walls, chandeliers and the original tiled floor complement an elegant oak staircase rising all the way to the attic. On either side of the hall are two generous reception rooms, each with a fireplace and logburner. Both lead through to further light and airy rooms opening onto the garden?inviting spaces in which to sit and enjoy the countryside views. The kitchen combines character with practicality, featuring an island, the original flagstone floor, a gas range cooker and a logburner. It opens onto a terrace and the courtyard garden, making outdoor dining easy. A shower room with WC completes the ground floor. Upstairs, a bright hallway leads to five bedrooms, all with beautiful wooden floorboards. One has an ensuite shower room and a dressing room, while the others are served by a family bathroom. A 19m² east-facing covered terrace provides a sheltered spot to enjoy the morning light and views across the countryside. Outside, the heated 10 × 5m swimming pool sits within grounds extending to just under two hectares. The substantial barn and garage offer useful storage and space for projects, while the attic provides potential for further development, subject to any necessary permissions. The house has double glazing, electric radiators and three logburners. The septic system complies with current regulations. Pressac offers five restaurants, a café-bar, a grocery shop, a bakery and a garage with fuel. The historic riverside town of Confolens is an easy 17km drive away, with supermarkets and a wider range of shops and services.
