luxury real estate for sale Deux-Sèvres, France (page 3)

A dwelling, the faithful witness of the chateau that once preceded it, nestled within a village in the Seuil du Poitou region. Vestiges of a moat, a floor with small stones inlaid in various motifs, mullioned, transom or cross-windows, monumental medieval fireplaces, a visible circle on the ground marking the location of a former tower: the former chateau – in which the current dwelling is nestled (178 m2) – has left remarkable vestiges of its glorious past. The house's garden level is arranged around a living room with chestnut herringbone hardwood floors: on one side is the dining room from which one enters, while the kitchen space is located under an office-artist’s studio on the mezzanine level. On the other side is a hallway with a lavatory and a bedroom facing the garden. It would also be quite easy to create a shower room on this level. The upstairs is accessible two different ways: either by the old, wide stone staircase in the living room or by another, steeper staircase, located at the back of a second bedroom, the latter of which has arched French doors that provide direct access to the garden. A bathroom with lavatory is located on the landing of the second staircase, which is then followed by a large bedroom with a wardrobe. On the opposite side of this room is a door that leads to the landing of the ancient staircase, which provides access to a shower room with lavatory. The barn with its striking floor (75 m2) contains a recent wood-pellet furnace. The property’s tile roofs have been insulated and are in good condition. However, the roof of a second outbuilding (former cowshed) will need to be changed at some point.

The sober chapel of the former Niort Carmelite convent, a haven of calm and serenity very close to the centre, overlooking the town. The chapel owes its proud appearance to its height - it seems to spring from the ground - and its pure dressed stonework. Projecting buttresses line the facade and punctuate the bays on the outside. The openings are round-headed, and a rose window crowns the portal facing the street. By using the Romanesque architectural style, the 19th century builders opted for sobriety, in keeping with the religious congregation for which they worked. The interior is striking for its sheer size, which seems to exceed a floor area of 352 m² and a height of 14 m at the crossing. The interior also exudes an immediate sense of peace of mind. The limestone slab-paved floor rises slightly towards the raised choir. Barrel vaults separate the three bays of the nave, once you have passed through a sort of narrow narthex under the gallery alongside the facade. The transept is short, with a semi-dome apse. The stained glass windows are still in place, most of them in good condition. The slate roof was redone after the storm of 1999, and the interior was thoroughly cleaned in 2005, resulting in a much brighter appearance.

An old, well-developed house that towers over a beautiful village in the Gâtine poitevine. The main dwelling faces southwards, standing between a round tower and a square one that was reduced in height. A terrace extends in front of it, providing space for meals, conversations, naps and reading on sunny days. The reception rooms lie either side of the house’s seventeenth-century entrance door, which takes you into a spacious hall. To the right is a parquet dining room with a fireplace and to the left is an equally sumptuous living room. A boudoir, or office, separates the living room from a large bedroom that includes a washstand and an Empire-style bath. This bedroom leads out into the garden. The room connects to a bathroom in a seaside-resort style that takes up the round tower’s ground floor. A kitchen and scullery lie parallel to the dining room towards the middle of the edifice. The kitchen opens eastward to the outside. The scullery leads to a patio with access to a woodshed, boiler room and former laundry. Two staircases take you to the first floor, which is made up of three bedrooms, a linen room, a bathroom, an office and two lavatories. In the middle of this storey lies an extensive playroom under exposed beams. The room has many purposes. For example, it can serve as a children’s dormitory, a television room or an area for fun afternoon snacks. Almost all the windows are double-glazed. Most of the ceilings are insulated and large cast-iron radiators emit the heat produced by the oil boiler very effectively. Most of the roofs are new or recent. The cellar is spectacular under its ribbed vault (transverse arch in the middle). The annexes adjoining the house include a former stable, a garage and a storeroom under an extensive attic. The sanitation system needs to be only partially changed. The lush garden, which leads right up to the house, offers a delightful bucolic view over a 2,800m² area of flower beds, trees and grass. On the other side of the small access road lies a half-hectare meadow with a row of walnut trees running across it.
