Just 10 minutes from Valence en Poitou, the combination of an old stone house full of character and a contemporary house offers a unique balance between authenticity, comfort, and modern amenities. A MULTITUDE OF POSSIBLE PROJECTS Family closeness, intergenerational living, primary residence with guest house, hosting family and friends, professional activity at home, or seasonal rentals, this property opens the door to many life projects. With its two independent houses, studio, and space that can be converted into a workshop or bedroom, the place offers accommodation capacity for up to ten beds. The patio, swimming pool, home cinema space, garage, and landscaped park complement this refined set, designed for both daily living and for entertaining and sharing. A FIRST HOUSE in stone, authentic and warm. From the entrance, the charm takes over. The exposed stones, original beams, volumes, and friendly atmosphere make this 101 m2 19th-century home a true cocoon. The ground floor welcomes a fitted kitchen with an adjoining pantry, a bright living room with a fireplace and insert, as well as an office. The whole benefits from a pleasant opening onto a terrace overlooking the landscaped garden and its floral hedge. On the patio side, an entrance with a shower room, toilet, and cupboard. Upstairs, a mezzanine overlooks the imposing stone fireplace and leads to two beautiful bedrooms, a smaller additional room, and a bathroom with WC. Heating is provided by both fireplaces and complemented by a heat pump supplying the radiators and allowing for air conditioning. A SECOND HOUSE for alternative living Built in 2015, the second residence of 133 m² offers a decidedly contemporary universe.

This house notably features a premium fitted kitchen, a pellet stove fireplace heating the entire residence, and a dedicated home cinema room.

A large, elegant and comfortable house and its neighbouring building in need of restoration, in a beautiful dry-stone village in the upper Sèvre valley. The main house, built out of rubble limestone, overlooks, on its garden side, the Sèvre River from all four of its storeys, while its other façades look out on one of the most beautiful villages in the department with its medieval chateau. All the living spaces are located on the ground floor, which includes: a large living room, a small sitting room, a library or office and dining room, all decorated with nailed wide-plank hardwood floors, a variety of different fireplaces and ceilings with exposed beams or delicate stucco patterns, while the kitchen, left in its original state, has an antique square terracotta-tile floor. In the other building, a vast room, called 'the chapel', accessible via the small sitting room, could be used for galas, concerts or theatre performances. The first floor contains four bedrooms, each in a unique style – one of which has a powder room with lavatory – as well as a vast separate shower room with lavatory. On the second floor, under the insulated roof, a lounge space opens onto the staircase, while a last bedroom, bathed in sunlight, is located near the bathroom with lavatory. The rest of the floor is reserved for the attic space. As for the garden level, it includes a summer kitchen and furnace room (wood-pellet central heating), a workshop, a summer shower room with lavatory and a cellar. The house’s tile roof is in great condition as is the roofing for the outbuildings, while most of the windows are double-glazed. The garden is organised into six spaces, including the courtyard enclosed on three of its four sides by two barns and the deep, asymmetrical quadrilateral swimming pool. The four storeys of the house in need of restoration – which a small courtyard separates from the first – are accessed by a spiral staircase, which is undoubtedly older than the date displayed above the building’s arched front door: 1724. Although some of its window frames have been changed recently and the shutters are new, there are eight rooms in total that need to be refurbished, in addition to three cellars and two attic spaces. An interior garden, in which a palm tree provides a Mediterranean touch, opens onto a patio under which, thanks to the slope of the street that descends towards the bridge over the river, a garage was created.
