House Chizé (79)
Set within a peaceful village on the borders of the Deux-Sèvres and Charente-Maritime, this impressive traditional stone residence offers approximately 280m² of beautifully proportioned accommodation, combining timeless French character with practical family living and extensive outdoor space. Approached through enchanting enclosed gardens framed by mature palm trees and established planting, the property immediately impresses with its handsome stone façade and authentic charm. Inside, the house retains a wealth of original features including beautiful flagstone floors, exposed beams and character details that reflect its heritage, while benefiting from the comfort and efficiency of a modern wood-pellet central heating system. The accommodation is both spacious and versatile. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall, a fitted and equipped kitchen with dining area, a generous living room ideal for entertaining, a double bedroom, shower room, separate WC and pantry. The inclusion of a ground-floor bedroom and shower room offers flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. On the first floor, a large landing leads to a principal bedroom suite with adjoining corridor, bathroom and WC, together with two further double bedrooms, a study and an additional room ready to be converted according to individual requirements. Above, a substantial attic provides excellent storage and potential for further development, subject to any necessary permissions. Complementing the main house is an extensive range of attached outbuildings including a boiler room, carport, adjoining barn, workshop and a particularly impressive summer kitchen, perfect for entertaining family and friends throughout the warmer months. The grounds extend to more than 5,000m² and offer an idyllic setting for those seeking a rural lifestyle. A charming stream runs through the property, while the established vegetable garden, small orchard and henhouse provide the opportunity for a more self-sufficient way of life. Mature trees and attractive planting create a wonderfully private and tranquil environment. Despite its peaceful location, the property is just five minutes from the sought-after village of Chizé, where a small supermarket, brasserie and everyday amenities can be found. The Atlantic coast is within easy reach, with the sandy beaches of Châtelaillon-Plage and the historic maritime city of La Rochelle approximately one hour away.
