A45403JNV16 - Magnificent "Maison de Maître": Period Charm, Grand Proportions & Gîte/Rental Potential

Calling all heritage lovers, restoration enthusiasts, and those seeking an exciting new lifestyle project!
We are delighted to introduce this sumptuous "Maison de Maître"—a rare property that has beautifully preserved all the authenticity and elegance of its era.
Offering a prestigious living environment, this grand residence is just waiting for a sympathetic cosmetic update to restore it to its former glory and adapt to your lifestyle.

The Main Residence: Pure Elegance & Period Features
From the moment you step through the door, the tone is set. The main house welcomes you into generous, light-filled living spaces thanks to its large, expansive windows.

Period Character: Each reception room tells a story through its beautifully preserved original solid hardwood flooring and ornate ceiling mouldings, showcasing the finest craftsmanship of yesteryear.

Grand Proportions : High ceilings throughout accentuate the sense of space and grandeur, offering exceptional layout potential.

Ground Floor Living Space : An inviting entrance hall leads to a spacious living room, a formal dining room, and a separate kitchen.

First Floor Sleeping Quarters : Upstairs, the landing leads to 3 large, bright bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a separate WC—perfectly suited for a family.

A Blank Canvas :While the property already benefits from uPVC double glazing, the interior requires cosmetic updating (decor, bathrooms, and kitchen), offering you a wonderful opportunity to choose your own finishes and create your dream home.

Separate Cottage & Extensive Outbuildings: High Income Potential
The crowning glory of this property lies in its outbuildings, opening the door to various multi-generational, professional, or income-generating projects:

1. The Detached Second House: This independent cottage represents a rare opportunity. It is ideal for **rental income** (holiday let/Airbnb or long-term let), but could equally serve as a private guest house or a multi-generational annex.

2. Extensive Outbuildings : Including a large barn and workshops... these versatile spaces are limited only by your imagination—perfect for artists needing a studio, car collectors, classic storage, or further development (subject to planning).

3. The Cellars : Wine connoisseurs and collectors will be delighted by 2 authentic, dry, and spacious cellars (one located under the main house, and the other beneath the cottage).

The Garden: A Secluded Green Sanctuary
Outside, the magic continues. The property opens onto a beautifully landscaped, fully enclosed garden with mature trees, meticulously maintained. Entirely private and hidden from view, this garden is a peaceful haven.
An eco-friendly bonus : An authentic, working well is located on the grounds—perfect for watering the garden or running a future vegetable plot.

This property is a rare find on the market. Whether you are looking for a grand family home, a rewarding renovation project, or a sound investment with excellent holiday-let potential, this estate offers a unique opportunity.
