Situated in the heart of a popular and welcoming village in the southern Deux-Sèvres, this impressive stone property offers a rare combination of highly flexible accommodation, attractive gardens, extensive outbuildings and established gîte income. With a total of nine bedrooms and seven bathrooms, the property can be configured in a number of ways and is equally suited to those seeking a substantial family home, a multi-generational or multi-family property, or buyers looking to combine their French lifestyle with an income-generating business. Carefully and sympathetically renovated, the property retains a wealth of original character, including exposed stone walls, beams and traditional flagstone floors, while offering spacious and comfortable modern accommodation. Currently operated successfully as a gîte business, the property could, subject to any necessary permissions and consents, also lend itself to chambre d'hôtes accommodation or provide an excellent opportunity for multi-family living. The principal house provides an impressive five-bedroom family home. At its heart is a magnificent grand salon, retaining its original flagstone floor, exposed beams and stone walls, creating a wonderful character-filled reception space. This is complemented by a superb 50m² kitchen and dining room, providing a generous and sociable space for family life and entertaining. Upstairs, a large landing leads to five bedrooms, two of which benefit from en-suite facilities, together with a beautifully appointed recently fitted family bathroom. Attached to one side of the main house is an equally impressive second property, currently operated as a gîte. This provides a remarkable 65m² main reception room together with a fitted kitchen and ground-floor bedroom with en-suite shower room. Upstairs are a further three en-suite bedrooms, giving the property excellent independent accommodation and strong rental potential. The second property has its own private entrance, while interconnecting doors at both ground and first-floor level allow the two properties to be easily combined when required. Lockable doors and a separating corridor provide excellent privacy and separation when the accommodation is being used independently by owners and guests. Both properties also benefit from access to a useful cellar. Further flexibility is provided by the two en-suite bedrooms within the main house, which could readily be incorporated into the gîte accommodation if required, creating even greater rental capacity while retaining the remainder of the main house as private living accommodation. Outside, the property continues to impress. To the front is a substantial former outbuilding which has been converted into an excellent games room, complete with bar and pool table, creating an ideal space for entertaining guests or enjoying family time. Attached to the opposite side of the main house is a substantial two-storey barn of approximately 140m². The ground floor is currently used as a large garage with space for several vehicles, while the upper floor provides extensive storage. With its generous volume and independent nature, this space offers considerable further potential, subject to any necessary permissions, for conversion into a studio, gym, office, additional accommodation or other specialist use. The barn also leads through to a large 72m² workshop, providing further useful space for storage, hobbies or business purposes. To the rear is a lovely private garden with an enclosed, heated above-ground swimming pool, providing an attractive and practical leisure area during the summer months. Additional outbuildings include a pool pump house, chicken coop, summer lounge/veranda and useful storage areas for wood and garden equipment. The property enjoys an enviable village location, with everyday amenities close at hand including a local shop, café/bar and primary school, together with an active and welcoming community. The market town of Chef-Boutonne is approximately 6km away and provides a good range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants and services, while Sauzé-Vaussais, around 8.5km away, offers further amenities, weekly markets, medical facilities and other everyday services. Two railway stations can be reached within approximately 25 minutes, while Poitiers Airport is less than an hour away. This is a genuinely versatile property offering an exceptional amount of accommodation and considerable scope for different uses. The combination of an established gîte business, substantial private living space, extensive outbuildings, swimming pool and convenient village location makes this an exciting opportunity for anyone looking to relocate to rural France while retaining the option to generate an income from their property.
