Ref.4181 : LISTED 13th C. TEMPLAR COMMANDERY ADMIRABLY RENOVATED
On the border between the plain and the Vendée bocage, about 40 minutes from the sea, in pretty countryside near a commune of 1,200 inhabitants, with all shops and services, we offer you a perfectly restored former Commanderie of the Templar Order, a symphony of stone in a setting where you can feel the murmurings of history and past lives.
This estate is listed on the supplementary inventory of historic monuments for its facades and roofs. It comprises a rectangular seigneurial dwelling and outbuildings, built between the 15th and 18th centuries around an inner courtyard. You'll find yourself in a peaceful cocoon of weathered stone.
Access to the square courtyard is via an imposing porch with two huge wooden doors.
The dwelling, a treasure of yesteryear, boasts 400sqm of living space and was fully restored in 2010. The rooms are vast and bright. A sense of serenity pervades.
Once you've passed the entrance, you're faced with a beautiful stone staircase. On the left, you enter the first living room of over 55sqm, with tiled floor, beautiful carved stone fireplace, niche, beams, door to the park and small-paned windows overlooking the courtyard.
Then, a door leads to the large 74 sqm living room, with tiled floor (cabochons), beautiful woodwork finely carved on the walls, fireplace and windows overlooking the park.
The last room is a boiler room.
To the right of the main entrance, you enter a beautiful 15th-century dining room of 40sqm, with its monumental fireplace, light-colored floor tiles and beamed ceiling.
This room leads to the fitted kitchen, with its light-colored walls, three windows and a door opening onto the courtyard.
The beautiful staircase leads upstairs.
On the left, a 44sqm bedroom with a fireplace and parquet flooring. This room communicates with a recently renovated shower room, featuring light-colored floor tiles, an Italian shower and a handsome vanity unit.
To the right of the landing is a 16sqm space with a window overlooking the park, which could be used as an office or reading corner.
This gives access to a second 42sqm bedroom, with beautiful old parquet flooring, carved stone fireplace with insert, window overlooking the courtyard, as well as a huge third 60sqm bedroom, with triple exposure, carved fireplace, exposed framework, cleverly concealing a shower room with shower, toilet and vanity unit.
Possibility of creating a 4th bedroom on the first floor with access to the bathroom.
Secure property.
The outbuildings include the monks' house, a large barn, the renovated dovecote with rendering and tiled floor, an old stable, old hen houses, an old wine press, and a covered courtyard used as a summer kitchen, with a beautiful view over the park, for enjoying summer evenings.
A well is available for use.
The plot covers 5.36 acres ( 2.18 hectares), enclosed by stone walls, wire fencing or hedges.
Different areas are available:
the square courtyard from which you enter the estate;
To the west, a French garden with pruned boxwood and oleanders;
To the rear, a large meadow overlooking a wooded area planted mainly with maples, oaks, Fresnes and firs.
