Description

A46821JMR86 - Set on the edge of a charming riverside village, within easy walking distance of the local bakery and bar-restaurant, this magnificent 18th-century logis is a rare opportunity to acquire an elegant period home with exceptional character, generous accommodation and outstanding lifestyle potential.

Approached through its beautiful porched gateway and wooded grounds of approximately 3.5 hectares, the property retains an abundance of original features including grand reception rooms, high ceilings, fireplaces and period architectural details that reflect its rich history.

The spacious accommodation is perfectly suited to both family living and entertaining. The ground floor comprises an impressive entrance hall, elegant dining room, both formal and informal reception rooms, a family dining room, fitted kitchen, utility room, guest WC, bathroom and a ground-floor bedroom with its own shower room, ideal for guests or independent living.

Upstairs are seven further bedrooms, including four with private en-suite shower rooms, together with two family bathrooms, a separate WC and a large linen room. An extensive attic above offers excellent storage and potential for further development, subject to the necessary permissions.

A delightful glazed orangery provides an elegant additional living space overlooking the gardens. Above, a substantial area has already been largely converted into a separate apartment, comprising a spacious open-plan living area with a mezzanine and balcony enjoying stunning views across the grounds, together with an additional room. Requiring only minimal finishing work, this space offers an exciting opportunity to create a self-contained guest apartment, owner's accommodation or holiday rental.

Outside, the beautifully landscaped grounds offer complete privacy and an idyllic setting for outdoor living. Mature trees, formal gardens and open parkland surround the house, while the swimming pool and adjoining pool buildings provide the perfect place to relax during the summer months. Stone terraces and sweeping steps rise gracefully from the pool area to the house, creating a charming Provençal mas-style atmosphere. A magnificent wisteria-covered terrace adjoining the kitchen offers the ideal setting for al fresco dining, with dappled shade and delightful views across the pool and gardens. The combination of elegant landscaping and beautifully designed outdoor entertaining spaces makes this a truly exceptional environment for both family life and entertaining on a grand scale.

The estate also benefits from numerous outbuildings, a boiler house, garage and an exceptional 16th-century pigeonnier, adding further charm and historical significance. A spacious terrace completes the outdoor entertaining areas.

Beyond its appeal as a magnificent private residence, this outstanding property offers exceptional commercial potential. With eight bedrooms, extensive reception rooms, beautiful grounds and superb outdoor entertaining spaces, it lends itself perfectly to use as a boutique chambres d'hôtes, luxury guest house, exclusive wedding and events venue, wellness or yoga retreat, corporate retreat centre, or an elegant venue for private celebrations and group holidays. The partially completed guest apartment and substantial outbuildings provide further flexibility for future development, subject to the necessary permissions.

Whether you are searching for an impressive family residence, an elegant second home or a boutique hospitality project, this remarkable property offers endless possibilities in one of the most desirable areas of the Vienne, combining rural tranquillity with the convenience of village amenities just a short walk away.

About Leggett Immobilier, France

La Maison du Chapitre, 24340 La Rochebeaucourt, France

Leggett Immobilier is a family business that was started 20 years ago and founded on the genuine belief that French estate agency could be done better – today this still holds true. Indeed, this belief was validated last year when we were crowned "Best Estate Agency in France" at a prestigious awards ceremony in London.

All of our agents live and work in France and have excellent local knowledge, covering both their area and local property prices. Clients are given a single point of contact who is dedicated to helping them make the right decision and to be by their side throughout the purchase process. Our in-house contracts team are experienced in dealing with local notaires and have overseen the purchase of over €1bn of French property - they will ensure that the sale progresses smoothly and our fully bilingual team will guide you through all legal documentation.

With over 600 agents spread across the country we like to think that we are now the leading international estate agency in France, last year around one in ten of all UK buyers of French property trusted us to help them. However, the company’s size and success has not altered the fact that we are a family business who pride ourselves on professionalism and friendliness.

Local knowledge is invaluable when buying in a foreign country. Leggett provides this knowledge - nearly all of our agents have lived through a move themselves and have been trained to deal with any issue or question that might arise. This training includes a three day, residential, course, further "advanced" training and access to our head office team who keep abreast of all changes in French property law and legislation.

It is this, unique, “hand-holding” approach that has helped build the foundations of our company. No other agency in France takes such care of a client before, during and after a property is purchased.

The system for buying a property in France can be complex but is regarded as being one of the safest in the world – the French like "red tape" but not much surprises us now.

With over 20 years of experience, we have the knowledge to aid with legal matters, help with finance, and even ensure that you have all the essential services connected when you make the move to your new home.

Leggett Immobilier - local knowledge you can trust.
