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

A magnificent 8 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 4747m2, 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, the roof has been redone on half of the property and the creation of 6 en-suite bedrooms. The house is easily separated into two completely separate wings, each with its own entrance and independent living space - ideal for a large family or to earn extra income as a letting unit or chambre d'hotes, and there are still two further rooms in the attic which could become extra bedrooms (subject to necessary permissions).

With its large spacious rooms and high ceilings, its original wide wooden staircase and almost 500m2 of habitable space, this manor house is in the ideal location for a bed and breakfast.

In the grounds is a pretty guest house in a charming stone tower, containing a further 2 ensuite bedrooms and a large kitchen living room with its own independent terrace and entrance which could also generate extra income.

Viewing of this amazing property is highly recommended. Saint Maixent l'Ecole tgv 25km, Poitiers airport is only 57km, La Rochelle and the beautiful Atlantic coast 92km.
