Villa for sale in Melle, Deux Sevres (Niort/Parthenay), Nouvelle-Aquitaine

Historic 10 bed/7 bath Manor House, pool in fabulous gardens.

A magnificent 8/10 bedroom, 7 bathroom 18th Century manor house set in its own parkland of over an acre, yet just steps from the covered market, shops and cafés of this bustling French town.

On a large mature walled plot of 4383m2, with a fabulous heated pool hidden within the rampart walls, this beautiful stone house, once the home of one of Napoleon Bonaparte's generals, is in excellent condition. The current owners have carried out a spectacular renovation including the installation of a stunning bespoke kitchen, a new wood pellet central heating system, and the creation of 6 en-suite bedrooms plus the roof has been renewed on half of the property.

The house is easily separated into two completely separate wings, each with its own entrance, kitchen and independent living space - ideal for a large family or to earn extra income as a letting unit or chambre d'hôtes, and there are still two further bedrooms in the attic to renovate and add further ensuites if required (subject to necessary permissions). With its large spacious rooms and high ceilings, its original wide wooden staircase and around 500m2 of habitable space, this manor house is in the ideal location for a bed and breakfast.

Viewing of this amazing property is highly recommended.
