Large bourgeois property with swimming pool in the heart of a small town of character

In the heart of the charming village of Foussais-Payré, this large 19th-century property offers approximately 221 sqm of living space and sits on a wooded park of over 4,600 sqm. Its generous proportions and layout make it an ideal home for comfortably accommodating a large family or for considering a bed and breakfast business, just steps from the amenities of this picturesque village.

On the ground floor, the entrance hall leads to a beautiful, modern, and functional separate kitchen, which opens directly onto the living areas. These include a spacious and bright adjoining living room and dining room, both with direct access to the terrace and garden. These spaces reveal the building’s full charm thanks to the exposed beams, stone fireplace, and high ceilings. A room that could be converted into a bedroom or office, with an adjoining bathroom, allows for single-level living. An additional room, suitable for a library or small shop, has its own independent street access. A back kitchen and a boiler room complete the ground floor.

The first floor offers two suites with private bathrooms, featuring beautiful solid wood flooring, which would easily lend themselves to a bed and breakfast business. Two adjoining bedrooms, one with lovely views of the garden, form a second very comfortable sleeping area. A separate and very functional bathroom is adjacent to this second sleeping area. An attic adds potential to this first floor. The second floor offers a large attic bedroom in need of updating, as well as two heated rooms that could be converted into additional living space. The property also includes a charming stone outbuilding housing a double garage and large storage areas on the ground floor. Upstairs, a large unfinished space offers a wide range of possibilities for conversion. The exterior features a beautiful, secluded swimming pool and a wooded park with a pretty pond. A true haven of greenery in the heart of the village, the orchard and vegetable garden will appeal to those seeking self-sufficiency. The property is located a short walk from the village’s amenities and schools; 10 minutes from the Mervent-Vouvant forest, 15 minutes from Fontenay-le-Comte and the motorway network, 40 minutes from the Niort TGV station, and less than an hour from La Rochelle/Île de Ré.
