The façade of this manor house warns you to expect something special. Inside, it is an intriguing mixture of maison de maitre grandeur and the rustic charm of a farmhouse, with beautiful gardens and useful outbuildings…situated in a riverside town. There is a tangible feeling of history here.
A choice of elegant hallways (one tiled, one with flagstones) offers a grand entrance. The kitchen has a warm, farmhouse feel to it and, like both the living room and dining room, it is large and light, with a welcoming fireplace. There is also a laundry room on this floor. An impressive staircase leads up to four huge double bedrooms, a vast bathroom and shower room. The second floor attic is convertible. A ‘granny flat’ contains kitchen/living room, bathroom and bedroom, perfect for friends, guests or as a holiday let. There is a vaulted cellar beneath the house, accessible internally.
The beautiful gardens contain interesting details, including an attractive fountain and a walled vegetable plot accessed down stone stairs. There are outbuildings of the size not usually found in town, the barn currently housing a workshop. There is plenty of space for off-street parking.
The riverside town of Chef Boutonne has restaurants and shops as well as supermarkets, cinema, park, chateau, fishing lake, schools, traditional weekly market and pavement café culture. © |
