An exceptional townhouse in Rochefort, opposite the Corderie Royale
Rochefort, Charente-Maritime (17)
€1,650,000
Reference: AJG1463
Just 25 minutes from La Rochelle, in the heart of Rochefort’s historic centre and opposite the iconic Corderie Royale, stands an exceptional residence: the Hôtel de Lisleferme.
Built in 1853 by Henri de Lisleferme, a naval engineer from a prominent Protestant family in La Rochelle, this characterful townhouse elegantly combines the prestige of 19th-century architectural heritage with the comfort of a masterfully executed renovation.
Inspired by the grand 18th-century mansions of Bordeaux, the property offers nearly 500 m² of living space spread over three floors, set within a setting steeped in history.
The building follows the traditional layout of a townhouse, with a U-shaped plan forming a courtyard on the street side, enclosed by a gate.
The three-storey façade features large windows.
In the centre of the main section, the bay is adorned with refined decoration, predominantly floral, in a late 17th-century style.
On the pediment crowning the structure, two putti are depicted around a shell.
From the moment you enter, the scale of the space is impressive: 3.5-metre-high ceilings, refined mouldings, coffered ceilings, a majestic grand staircase and marble features combine to create a rare setting, imbued with nobility and authenticity.
The ground floor is organised around a vast, light-filled reception room, the true heart of the house, harmoniously connecting the living spaces. An elegant dining room adjoining the kitchen, housed in a dedicated wing, along with a glass-roofed study that opens out onto the garden, these features add a touch of refinement to this level.
The first floor comprises a sleeping area consisting of three spacious bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom or shower room. A study, two toilets and a large terrace overlooking the garden complete this floor.
The top floor reveals magnificent, light-filled spaces: two further bedrooms, a study and a spacious living area now used for entertaining and socialising. This space offers great flexibility for customisation to suit your plans and preferences.
A private hydraulic lift, a particularly rare feature for this type of property, completes the ensemble with discretion and comfort.
Outside, a walled garden of around 300 m² and a detached guest house add to the charm of this unique property.
A privileged witness to Rochefort’s history, the Hôtel de Lisleferme has successively housed naval officers, the Chamber of Commerce, and even a coin-making workshop during the First World War.
Today, this unique property offers a wealth of possibilities: a prestigious family home, an art gallery, an intimate guest house, an events venue or a distinctive professional venture.
Just a few minutes from the sea, this is a rare property offering an exceptional lifestyle combining heritage, elegance and history.
