Old distillery and its cellar to reinvent

UNDER SALE AGREEMENT – EXCLUSIVE ATYPICAL SPACES Developed on approximately 180 m2 of usable surface area, this former distillery is located in a pretty village with shops 5 km from Surgères and 35 minutes from the city center of La Rochelle.

Renovated in 2007 with an assertive and elegant artistic approach, the house has a first living area of approximately 91 m2.

From its living room, it opens very widely onto its cellar of approximately 89 m2 which can be transformed into a choice extension with exposed stonework, large volumes and bay windows facing South-West.

Unsuspected from the street, a short access path allows you to discover an imposing plot of more than 4,500 m2 bordered by vegetation and populated with numerous fruit trees. Sheltered by the foliage of the landscape, the Charente building reveals its most atypical facade with its three large bay windows. Via one of them, the entrance to the house opens onto the living room with a lounge area and a dining area with the kitchen.

This living room perfectly combines lime walls, polished concrete, exposed stone, glass and steel. Rare for such an old house, the living room offers pleasant unobstructed views of the garden thanks to these two workshop-style bays. Adjoining the kitchen, a pantry/laundry room completes the ground floor. Upstairs, a large suite of approximately 43 m2 offers a magnificent, very bright volume. Behind the headboard, a bathroom occupies a corner of the room. For the second, a dressing room is fitted out.

A “cabin bed” is also nestled in the heights of this room. For the rest, you just have to invent it. Several projects have already been designed, with the possibility of extending the house or creating one or two independent accommodations. The volume allows for a mezzanine and the use of a semi-open frame at the rear of the winery, it is possible to add a little more than 140 m2 of living space to the house. Note that the plot is entirely buildable and could be divided (it also benefits from two accesses to the street).

A resolutely atypical charming property which will appeal to lovers of old renovated buildings. More information and project plans available after telephone exchange.
