This beautifully-renovated 13th-century priory is nestled in the heart of a pretty village in the serene countryside of Deux Sèvres. Ideally located within the triangle formed by Saumur in the Loire Valley, Poitiers, and the coastal splendors of La Rochelle, it offers the perfect blend of tranquility and accessibility.
The property boasts ten bedrooms spread across three distinct buildings: the Priory itself, featuring six bedrooms and gracious reception spaces; a tower with two bedrooms and a charming drawing room; and a gardener's cottage with two bedrooms, a cozy kitchen, and a sitting area. This setup makes it equally suited as a spacious family home or a lucrative rental investment.
Surrounded by lush half-acre gardens adorned with hedgerows, fruit trees, aromatic lavender, and a 8x4m swimming pool, each dwelling enjoys its own private garden and inviting outdoor dining space.
Located in a picturesque village of 200 residents, cradled by verdant valleys, meandering streams, and bordering forests, the property offers a peaceful retreat within easy reach of essential amenities. A nearby town provides convenient access to shops and services.
For travelers, the city of Poitiers, just a 50-minute drive away, offers international flights to London, Edinburgh, and Barcelona from its airport, while its TGV station connects to central Paris and Bordeaux in under 1.5 hours.
A mere five-minute drive leads to a charming town complete with a well-appointed supermarket, pharmacy, bakery, and a delightful weekly farmer's market featuring local delicacies, including fresh oysters.
Encircled by sturdy stone walls and verdant hedges, the property exudes a sense of security and seclusion, offering a sanctuary at the threshold of the lush Gatine countryside, where meandering lanes, pastoral landscapes, and abundant wildlife create a tapestry of natural beauty.
A spacious wine cellar tucked beneath the house completes this idyllic haven, promising a life of comfort, convenience, and timeless charm.
