Magnificent property with swimming pool

Right in the heart of the pretty Art and History town of Fontenay-le-Comte, this mansion of around 371 m2 of living space sits on a plot of over 1,600 m2 in a secluded setting.

This mid-19th century bourgeois property underwent a complete renovation in 2019, bringing comfort and modernity while enhancing its original cachet and status. Behind its imposing facade, it offers unusual volumes for its location and is a real gem in the heart of the city.

Entrance to the property is via the vast through hall, a veritable condensation of the building’s architectural features: cement tiles, high ceilings and moldings are instantly seductive.
It leads to a first living room with herringbone parquet flooring, in an enveloping duck-blue ambience highlighting the white marble of the Empire-style fireplace. A second, more intimate lounge offers beautiful views over the garden.
The hall also leads to a large dining room separated from the kitchen by a contemporary glass roof. A laundry room and an additional room suitable for an office or bedroom complete the first floor.
Access to the second floor is via a beautiful wooden spiral staircase illuminated by a skylight. The landing leads to a first master bedroom with private shower room and dressing room, four bedrooms with solid parquet flooring, a room that could be used as a workshop or study, a bathroom and a shower room complete the night space.

A large, landscaped, intimate garden is the perfect place to recharge your batteries, and features a beautiful swimming pool with top-quality fittings.

The property’s outbuildings include a superb orangery awaiting conversion, a workshop, a former stable/saddlery room and a boiler room. A garage also provides easy parking in this central location.

The property is just a 5-minute walk from all amenities, 8 minutes from motorways, 35 minutes from Niort, 45 minutes from La Rochelle and less than an hour from Les Sables d’Olonne and the Nantes conurbation.
