Poitou-Charentes, Charente-Maritime, Thors, France

A43776DVC17 - Offering approximately 290m² of living space, together with an extensive attic ready for conversion and a substantial range of attached outbuildings, the possibilities are exceptional. Whether you're dreaming of a magnificent family home or a property with workshop or business potential, this could be an outstanding project.

The property is approached through imposing 3.5-metre-high wrought iron gates, with the entire roadside frontage enclosed by elegant iron railings, creating an immediate sense of grandeur.

The front garden is currently overgrown, as you would expect from a property awaiting renovation, but beneath the mature trees and established shrubs lies the framework of what could once again become a beautiful entrance.

To the left of the house is an extensive range of traditional outbuildings, formerly used as workshops, stables, barrel stores and production areas for Cognac, Pineau and wine. These buildings are attached to the main house and offer enormous potential for additional accommodation, studios, workshops or storage.

Ground Floor
The current layout reflects the property's original use, but there is tremendous scope for reimagining the space.

The front door opens directly into the kitchen, which leads to a generous pantry and food preparation room, together with a separate space suitable for creating a ground-floor WC.

Beyond the kitchen is the dining room, with an additional room currently used as a ground-floor bedroom.

Running through the centre of the house is a magnificent entrance hall extending from front to rear, complete with beautiful original doors at either end. On either side are two elegant reception rooms of similar proportions, both retaining the character and scale expected of a house of this period.

A beautiful original staircase provides access to every floor.

First Floor
The first floor offers four spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom. A central corridor links the accommodation and opens onto balconies at both the front and rear of the house, allowing views over the gardens.

Second Floor
Above is a vast open attic spanning almost the entire footprint of the house. Subject to the necessary permissions, this space could be transformed into additional living accommodation, with the potential to create several further bedrooms, luxurious suites or hobby rooms.

Outside
To the rear is a private enclosed garden, offering a peaceful outdoor space with plenty of room for landscaping.

A Project Worth the Effort

This is not a cosmetic renovation. The property requires comprehensive modernisation throughout, making it a project for experienced renovators or buyers looking for a substantial restoration.

However, opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. With its generous proportions, original architectural features, impressive outbuildings and enviable location between Matha and Cognac, this remarkable property has all the ingredients to become an exceptional home once more.

Priced to reflect the work required, it represents outstanding value and an exciting opportunity to create something truly spectacular.
