Former 17th-century presbytery

UNDER OFFER – EXCLUSIVE LISTING – ESPACES ATYPIQUES

In the heart of the old village of Ardillières, in a peaceful setting surrounded by stone buildings and walls, this charming character house offers approximately 149 sq m of living space on a fenced plot of over 770 sq m.

Formerly a 17th-century presbytery, and later a notable’s residence, post office, and then municipal library, this property steeped in history has been transformed into an elegant family home. It captivates with its authenticity, its light, and its potential for expansion thanks to adjoining outbuildings offering the possibility of adding nearly 90 sq m of living space. The entrance hall, a room in its own right, includes a wardrobe and cloakroom before opening onto a bright living room facing the garden. The living room, opening generously onto the outside, enjoys an unobstructed view and direct access to the terrace.

A glass partition subtly separates the kitchen, which includes a welcoming dining area, from the warm and inviting living room. Also on the ground floor, a hallway has been converted into a library before leading to a guest bedroom and a bathroom. Upstairs, an elegant staircase leads to a spacious landing, enhanced by high ceilings and wide parquet flooring. Two large bedrooms face the garden and benefit from exceptional natural light thanks to their numerous windows.

The third bedroom upstairs features an antique fireplace, adding character. A shower room is accessible from the landing. The attic space in the outbuildings, approximately 35 square meters, offers excellent potential for conversion to extend the upstairs living area. Outside, the sunny terrace extends seamlessly from the living space and is arranged around an old well and stone steps leading to the landscaped garden. Completely enclosed by stone walls and offering complete privacy, this verdant haven could easily accommodate a swimming pool. The outbuildings attached to the rear of the house comprise a garage, a spacious storage room converted into a laundry room, and a cellar.

These are complemented by the previously mentioned attic. The village amenities are within walking distance; Aigrefeuille is ten minutes away, and Châtelaillon beach is just 20 minutes away. Steeped in history and imbued with authenticity, this characterful house in Ardillières will delight lovers of period homes.
