Description
Situated in the heart of the picturesque village of Dampierre-sur-Boutonne, this superb property is approached through an imposing gated entrance from where a gravelled driveway leads through the front garden (areas of lawn and hedging with magnificent specimen palm trees) and continues past the main house to a lovely large secluded garden which is laid mainly to lawns with specimen trees. The garden is partly enclosed by the moat of the nearby Château, as it was without doubt originally part of the Château parkland.
There is also a fabulous open fronted barn currently used for outdoor entertaining, a Japanese garden, a raised wooden terrace with jacuzzi and further paved terrace. Together the whole plot extends to 3360m² or just under an acre.
The main house is arranged over 3 floors; the ground floor comprising an entrance hall, a large dual aspect salon with feature fireplace, a library, the stunning fitted kitchen, all with underfloor heating. There is also a utility room, boiler room and a W.C. From the entrance hall a beautiful original turned staircase rises to a large landing serving 3 bedrooms, a dressing room and a luxury bathroom. The staircase continues to the top floor and opens to a large reception room off which are arranged 3 further bedrooms, a bathroom with corner bath and a separate WC.
A substantial range of connected outbuildings run along one side of the property, one of which has been converted into a small guest annex with open plan living/bedroom with separate shower room and W.C. The rest of the outbuildings comprise two storage rooms, a workshop and a garage, all with second storey. The outbuildings are Renaissance style and were originally part of the Château's domain. All have great potential for conversion to provide a source of income (subject to permissions).
Dampierre-sur-Boutonne is a lively and much sought-after village with a unique Renaissance Château, shop/bar, hairdresser and an artisan bakery. The larger commercial centres of Saint-Jean-d'Angély and Surgères (with TGV connection) are within easy reach, La Rochelle airport and atlantic coast beaches are just an hour away.
