Ref.4320: Property for sale in the Vendée French department.
The house is located in the Vendée, between Nantes and La Rochelle, very close to La Roche sur Yon, and around twenty minutes from the Vendée coast. This region has many attractions, a wide variety of landscapes, a rich and well-preserved heritage, and a thriving economic sector.
The property is set in pretty, rolling countryside in a peaceful location. The nearest village is 3.5 km away. A small town with a remarkable heritage is 7 km away. The town of La Roche sur Yon is easily accessible. Nantes is only an hour's drive away.
Built on a U-shaped plan in typical Vendée style, the buildings frame a pretty courtyard enclosed by old stone walls. Visitors enter the main enclosure through a gate flanked by two massive granite pillars topped by a carved stone. The main dwelling, built of rendered stone with a tiled roof, has two storeys. The façade is symmetrical and harmoniously punctuated by openings and a central window topped by a semi-circular pediment.
On either side of the square-headed dwelling, each of the wings has been partly converted into independent living accommodation.
In the corner of the rear facade, a round, flat-roofed tower overlooks the south-facing terrace and the ponds, adding further character to this fine architectural ensemble.
As soon as you cross the threshold, you are enveloped in timeless elegance. In every room, the shades of cream and ivory carefully chosen by the owner of the house create a soft, serene palette.
The main dwelling is entered via a vast gallery (55sqm) with a terracotta tiled floor and the original monumental oak staircase at its end. This gallery leads to:
-the dining room (22sqm) in cream tones.
-this is followed by a large, bright 35sqm kitchen with terracotta tiled floor.
-A vestibule opening onto the terrace with a painted wooden staircase built in the 1960s, in keeping with the spirit of the place.
-a lounge or bedroom with access to the tower, which has been converted into a bathroom.
-a large lounge (47 sqm) opening on to the terrace and featuring a large library and a superb monumental granite fireplace engraved with the date 1738.
The reception rooms face south-east towards the parklands and offer lovely views over the water features below.
The first floor is accessed via one of the two staircases. Similarly to the ground floor, there is a large gallery of more than 45 sqm with parquet flooring, flooded with light from the windows overlooking the courtyard. The gallery leads to:
-Three bedrooms (42, 36 and 22 sqm), two bathrooms and two dressing rooms. Two are adorned with beautiful engraved granite fireplaces.
Two independent flats have been converted in the two wings.
The first flat in the west wing has:
