Situated in the heart of the peaceful lanes and just a short stroll from the bustling port of Saint-Martin-de-Ré, this old house offers a rare opportunity to live at the rhythm of the ocean and the heritage of Saint-Martin-de-Ré.
Set within the ramparts, it offers immediate access to all amenities. The port, a real place to live, is less than two minutes' walk away, ideal for strolling along the water's edge, admiring the sailing boats or enjoying a drink on the terrace at sunset.

On the ground floor, you'll be greeted by a cosy living room with a stone fireplace, perfect for winter evenings. The cosy atmosphere is perfect for relaxing with family or friends. This room, bathed in light thanks to its large windows, retains the authentic spirit of a village house while offering a comfortable, airy living space.

The adjoining dining room is a natural extension of this convivial atmosphere. It leads to a semi-open kitchen that opens directly onto an intimate, unoverlooked paved courtyard. This outdoor space is a relaxing spot, ideal for al fresco meals or long summer afternoons in the shade of a parasol, a true harmony between indoors and outdoors.
Upstairs, the house has four spacious bedrooms. The bathroom on this level is equipped with a bath, shower and toilet, providing a practical solution to the needs of the occupants.

A separate lean-to is accessible from the courtyard. Enclosed by a glass roof that lets in an abundance of natural light, this space has been cleverly laid out: on the ground floor there's a practical shower room, while upstairs there's a room that can be used as a spare bedroom or office. This versatile space is ideal for a teenager looking for independence, for guests passing through or for a self-employed professional wanting to work from home in a serene environment.

Direct access to the street also means that bicycles can be stored in complete safety, an invaluable convenience in Saint-Martin-de-Ré, where soft mobility is a priority.

This independent room, which is both functional and attractive, gives the complex a modularity that's perfect for a second home or a year-round residence.

A large, healthy cellar in the basement completes this property. It provides ample storage space, whether for wine, water sports equipment, seasonal items or simply to optimise the organisation of the house. This is a considerable asset in an old house in a historic town centre, where storage space is often in short supply.

Whether you're looking for a second home, a pied-à-terre for your holidays on the Ile de Ré, or a place to live all year round within the town centre, this house will meet your expectations.
