Charentaise slippers with a strong character transformed into a showcase of elegance

EXCLUSIVE TO ESPACES ATYPIQUES

Ideally located in Aulnay-de-Saintonge, one of the most charming villages in Charente-Maritime, renowned for its authentic character and preserved way of life, this meticulously renovated property is a true haven of tranquility. Spread over two levels, it offers 237 sq m of living space and impresses with its refined décor, tastefully curated by its owners.

With its grounds totaling over 1,380 sq m, it is perfect for both family gatherings and holidays with friends, allowing you to fully enjoy the setting offered by local shops, picturesque alleyways, and the village’s characterful façades. Hidden from view, its cut-stone façade hints at the unique atmosphere that unfolds within: old-world charm enhanced by fine materials and a warm, timeless, and elegant décor. In the left wing, a pleasant reception room of approximately 67 square meters opens onto the garden and invites convivial gatherings. The wood-burning stove, a companion on winter evenings, provides the comforting crackle of a warm fire, a simple and universal pleasure.

The kitchen, integrated into the living area, is both functional and refined, designed for culinary enthusiasts, with ample storage space. An elegant guest toilet harmoniously completes this living space. In the right wing, the master suite unfolds like a true haven, combining comfort and elegance. A discreet dressing room, integrated behind the headboard, optimizes space, while a sophisticated bathroom features an extra-large walk-in shower and a separate private toilet. From the suite, a charming, easily independent old stone house offers a laundry and storage area on the ground floor. Upstairs, a space of approximately 40 square meters, still to be converted, offers multiple possibilities: a playroom, a private studio, a workshop, or a wellness area–a true creative playground for your projects.

The main floor of the house comprises a spacious landing leading to three bedrooms, one of which is currently used as an office. A fourth room, currently a painting studio, could easily be converted into an additional bedroom. A shower room and a separate dressing room complete this sleeping area, designed to combine comfort and functionality. The garden, carefully planted with fruit trees, flowers, and herbs, features a 5x5m swimming pool with crystal-clear water, inviting relaxation in complete privacy.

The detached outbuilding, which can accommodate two vehicles, offers the possibility of converting the upper floor into a studio or a dormitory, depending on your needs. Adjoining it is a covered area, ideal for storing garden furniture and equipment. A second covered area, extending from the reception room, becomes the perfect setting for pleasant evenings with friends. In summer, this adaptable space can, with a little work, be opened up to the living room, creating a convivial atmosphere perfectly suited to your needs.

Opposite the property, a plot of over 600 sqm offers ample space for large outdoor dining areas, accommodating a significant number of vehicles for family events. With its Gallo-Roman and medieval origins, Aulnay is a favored stop for pilgrims on the Way of St. James. The Church of Saint-Pierre, a jewel of Romanesque art with remarkably fine sculpted decorations, bears witness to this rich past.

Here, every stone tells a story, and the whole place exudes harmony and serenity. Just 19 km from Saint Jean d’Angély, 45 km from Saintes, and 72 km from La Rochelle.
