Country house for sale in Melle, Deux Sèvres, 79500

Description

A magnificent 8 bedroom, 7 bathroom 18th century manor house with a charming 2 bed/2 bath guest house. All 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 4807m², with a fabulous heated pool hidden within the rampart walls, this beautiful stone house was once the home of one of Napoleon Bonaparte's generals.

It 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. 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 200m2 attic to complete and add en suites 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.

In the grounds is a pretty guest house in a charming stone tower, containing a further 2 en suite 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.
