The soul of a renovated former boarding school on the outskirts of La Rochelle and its independent gîte

EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES

Just a few minutes from La Rochelle, in the heart of the village of Saint-Rogatien and close to all amenities, lies a truly distinctive property, where the charm of the past meets elegant, contemporary renovation.

Formerly a girls’ boarding school, this fully renovated residence offers approximately 180 sqm of living space, complemented by an independent 28 sqm studio, ideal for accommodating family and friends or generating rental income.

From the moment you step inside, the house captivates with its generous proportions and abundant natural light. The spacious, dual-aspect reception rooms are arranged around two living rooms and a dining room, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen, the true centrepiece of the home, exudes a distinctly luxurious feel, featuring a black stone island and a La Cornue range cooker.

Upstairs, the character of the house continues with beautiful proportions and authentic materials. The original solid chestnut flooring runs throughout three bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with its own shower room and WC. A second bedroom benefits from a beautifully renovated bathroom, complete with a shower, bathtub and WC. The third bedroom is currently arranged as a dressing room.

The ground floor also offers excellent potential for further adaptation, with one of the living rooms easily convertible into a bedroom with a private shower room, depending on the needs of its future occupants.

Outside, the property truly comes into its own. The living areas open onto a walled garden, a lush and secluded haven where fig trees, hydrangeas and honeysuckle surround a generous 11 x 5 metre swimming pool. A beautifully appointed pergola naturally extends the living spaces and invites you to enjoy long summer days in the shade.

Close to the pool, a room of approximately 11 sqm, currently used as an office, offers additional possibilities: an independent workspace, guest bedroom or leisure room.

At the front of the property, a paved courtyard provides access to the independent studio as well as approximately 67 sqm of outbuildings. These include a wine store with a climate-controlled cellar, a workshop, a laundry room and a heated and insulated 14 sqm room that could be converted into a dedicated workspace, making it ideal for a professional practice.

A driveway in front of the house also provides convenient parking for two vehicles.

A rare property with a strong and distinctive character, combining historic architecture, generous volumes, high-quality features and an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle, all within immediate proximity to La Rochelle and the beaches of Châtelaillon.
