The house opens onto a spacious, open-plan entrance hall, enhanced by its original flooring, generous proportions and ample built-in storage.

To the right of the entrance is a superb, fully fitted family kitchen (MIELE), combining modern convenience with old-world charm. Designed for comfortable everyday living, it features top-of-the-range appliances and opens onto a large separate utility room as well as separate toilets. Adjacent to this, an elegant study with parquet flooring could easily be converted into a magnificent ground-floor suite, thanks to the presence of a shower room, separate WC and an adjoining room ideal for creating a walk-in wardrobe. To the left of the entrance, the house reveals a sumptuous dining room with exposed beams, warmed by an antique fireplace featuring a period stove and rotisserie, as well as an authentic old stone kitchen, a true testament to the property’s architectural heritage. A few steps then lead down to a room with antique terracotta tiles, opening onto a remarkable wine cellar. The reception areas flow harmoniously into one another: a cosy TV lounge opens onto a vast reception room of impressive proportions, enhanced by a monumental fireplace, tapestries, interior shutters and magnificent mouldings. Extending from this, a spectacular living area bathed in light thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows offers a unique and elegant atmosphere, with direct access to the courtyard and garden. Finally, a charming tower with architectural details inspired by historic mansions completes the rare authenticity of this property. A superb period staircase leads to the upper floor, which is entirely fitted with parquet flooring, opening onto five charming bedrooms as well as three shower rooms and bathrooms. Fireplaces, mouldings, double-glazed windows, walk-in wardrobes and unobstructed views combine to create elegant and comfortable sleeping quarters. Several rooms still offer excellent potential for conversion to create additional suites or bespoke spaces tailored to individual tastes. The perfectly maintained attics, along with the property’s numerous potential for development, complete this rare property. This unique home will appeal to lovers of beautiful family homes, charming properties or high-end projects combining authenticity, elegance and the French art of living. Outbuildings : The outbuildings on this property are a rare asset and offer exceptional potential, whether for a refined family lifestyle or for events, a guest house or prestigious business ventures. The spectacular 14 x 5-metre swimming pool, the true centrepiece of the outdoor space, is situated beneath a majestic 20 x 10-metre glass roof, perfectly integrated into the landscaped garden. This extraordinary space offers a unique atmosphere, bathed in natural light thanks to its numerous windows and opening roof sections, allowing you to make the most of sunny days. The large bay windows create a harmonious flow between indoors and outdoors, transforming this space into a true haven for relaxation and entertaining. Bathroom facilities, including a shower, washbasin and toilet, as well as built-in storage, complete this exceptional level of comfort. This remarkable swimming pool was, in fact, recognised in a competition for pool builders as one of the most beautiful pools in France – a distinction that makes perfect sense the moment you discover this spectacular space. The property also features several outbuildings brimming with charm and character. The former butcher’s shop, fully connected to the mains electricity supply and equipped with all necessary fittings, offers plenty of scope for conversion projects. Another outbuilding houses the property’s technical systems, including the heating system, boiler, central vacuum system and fuel oil tank. A magnificent detached building houses a superb, fully restored bread oven, creating a warm and welcoming space with a rare and well-preserved character. The former stables, comprising three stalls with an upstairs hayloft, bear witness to the property’s past and will appeal to lovers of beautiful old buildings. Adjacent to these, a vast barn with generous proportions harmoniously completes the ensemble and connects to a double garage. Finally, a separate utility room dedicated to the swimming pool rounds off the features of this exceptional property, where every outbuilding contributes fully to the charm, comfort and remarkable potential of the site. The grounds cover approximately 6.4 acres and are one of the property’s main attractions. The park, which has been carefully landscaped and maintained over the years, combines formal gardens, ornamental trees and natural areas. An access driveway leads to the house through the gardens that surround it. In the immediate vicinity of the buildings, there are flowerbeds, trimmed hedges and numerous rose bushes that enhance the façades. At the rear, the grounds feature a wide variety of tree species, including several remarkable specimens such as cedars, yews and ginkgo biloba trees. Paths allow visitors to explore the entire property and discover the various landscaped areas. The grounds also feature a pond with a small bridge, several old wells and various relaxation areas offering views of the house and its surroundings. Maintenance of the gardens is made easier by an irrigation system supplied mainly by rainwater harvesting, wells, a spring and the property’s pond. An indoor swimming pool under a glass roof and a tennis court in need of refurbishment complete the outdoor facilities. Finally, the vegetable garden holds a special place within the estate. Awarded by the National Horticultural Society, it has been carefully laid out and includes areas dedicated to vegetables, fruit and flowers, as well as an orchard. Together, these elements form a particularly well-designed landscaped estate, offering a wide variety of atmospheres and uses throughout the seasons.
