This superb manor house rises majestically overlooking the Gartempe river and will surprise you with the height of its ceilings, which gives it beautiful volumes. In the immediate vicinity of the 11th-century Abbey of Saint-Savin, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, this remarkable residence built in the 1880s is worthy of its rich historical setting due to the very high quality of its construction and the perfect preservation of its authenticity. The construction period of the surrounding houses ranges from the 17th to the 18th century, and the neighborhood has remained free from any modern construction. Extremely dynamic, the cultural center of the municipality of Saint-Savin organizes numerous concerts, cultural and artistic exhibitions. In addition to its history and rich architectural and cultural heritage, the municipality also enjoys an environment conducive to outdoor activities, and the excellent eateries in the city and surrounding areas will delight even the most discerning of senses. Overlooking the Gartempe and its 13th-century bridge, this magnificent property is accessed through elegant wrought iron gates leading to a stunning French garden with its four large topiary pyramids and a central yew tree. Two flights of steps on either side lead to a landing with balustrades and stone railings. The entrance immerses you in the charm of this distinguished residence, with a checkerboard floor and a monumental staircase rising to the upper floors. On the ground floor, wide and tall double doors lead to a large living room and a formal dining room. The large, modern, and functional kitchen with its numerous storage spaces and pantry also serves a second, more modest-sized dining room. Toilets and a cloakroom ensure that guests are received with consideration. The first floor has six bedrooms and four shower rooms, with the option, if desired, to add more bathrooms. On the second floor, it would be easy to create additional rooms. Furthermore, a guesthouse consisting of a spacious and comfortable bedroom, a bathroom, a lounge, and a kitchenette has been meticulously arranged. Rendered completely independent via its entrance from the front garden, it is still connected to the main house. The entirety of the house rests on a basement of several rooms with a good ceiling height. The charm of this bourgeois house is reflected in each of its rooms, where the original marble fireplaces, wooden floors, and decorative medallions and cornices harmoniously coexist. The roof has been redone and insulated, and the woodwork has been replaced with craftsmanship and respect for the original appearance, combining charm with comfort. The rear garden offers an exceptional view of the Gartempe river crossed by the 13th-century bridge connecting Saint-Savin to Saint-Germain. This landscape, inspiring serenity, is enhanced from the majestic balcony on the first floor. More than just a description, the extreme refinement of this sumptuous residence is discovered. So, if your heart calls you, do not hesitate to come appreciate the authentic character and the sensuality that have been maintained and developed with great care by its owner.
