Ref 4250: Charming fortified house in south anjou for sale
This captivating 16th-century fortified residence, refurbished in the 19th century, is nestled in a picturesque village in the Mauges region, a short distance from Cholet.
Offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, it commands the rolling valleys below. Positioned conveniently between Angers and Nantes, the property enjoys easy access to major economic, commercial, and tourist hubs in western France. The Atlantic coast is approximately 1.30 hours away.
Essential shops are available in the nearby market town (including a bakery and hairdresser..), while Cholet provides all necessary amenities and conveniences in close proximity.
Constructed of local stone beneath slate roofs, this extraordinary edifice showcases a regular seven-bay, two-storey main structure to the south, complemented by a two-bay, three-story pavilion, and bordered by a spacious terrace facing a square courtyard, surrounded by former vernacular pleasure buildings. To the north, a second quadrangular pavilion boasts a corbelled turret housing a standalone staircase. A grand canopy and a monumental glass roof connect the two structures seamlessly.
With an expansive floor area of approximately 500 sqm, the layout is as follows:
• Ground floor: Enter through the glass-roofed entrance hall into a living room (65.90 sqm), seamlessly connected to the terrace, featuring travertine flooring, a magnificent fireplace with a wood-burning insert, 'Art Nouveau' cast iron radiators, wooden shutters, exposed joists, and height ceilings (3.5m).
To the east, an adjoining dining room opens onto a semi-professional kitchen (82 sqm), also on the terrace level, with tiled floors, an insert fireplace, wooden shutters, exposed joists, and identical ceiling heights as the living room (3.5m).
A contemporary conservatory adjacent to the kitchen provides a comfortable, well-lit extension to the living spaces, offering views over the orchard. Back kitchen and utility rooms are situated behind the kitchen.
To the west, a generously-sized lounge with dual exposure, featuring parquet flooring, a fireplace, and a staircase leading to the upper levels of the pavilion, with high ceilings (3.5m).
• 1st floor: A landing and corridors lead to six bedrooms, a dressing room, and two spacious bathrooms. Beautiful parquet flooring and interior wooden shutters adorn the rooms.
• 2nd floor: A bedroom/dormitory in the west pavilion and another in the north pavilion, accessed via a stunning spiral staircase, both boasting exquisite parquet flooring and remarkable exposed roof frameworks. A monumental granite fireplace graces the bedroom in the north pavilion.
The property boasts several outbuildings:
