Large bourgeois house in the heart of the Marais Poitevin

In the heart of the Marais Poitevin Regional Natural Park, in the commune of Saint-Sigismond, this large bourgeois house dating from the early 20th century offers 261 sqm of living space on a wooded plot of over 5,500 sqm.

Its spacious rooms make it an ideal family home, offering a peaceful lifestyle while remaining close to the surrounding tourist attractions. For freshwater boating enthusiasts, it benefits from direct access to the canal and a small private rowboat. The house opens onto an entrance hall leading to a large, fitted kitchen with terracotta floor tiles.
The generous ceiling height, natural light from the skylight, and Italian wood-burning stove create a very welcoming space, around which the life of the house revolves. This space connects to a large living room, partially covered with the original cement tiles, which features a masonry heater and an insert fireplace. It opens onto a veranda, ideal for creating a winter garden. A living room with an adjoining library offers a more intimate space. The first floor comprises a very functional sleeping area with a bedroom with an en-suite shower room, two bedrooms with original parquet flooring, and a shower room.

The second sleeping area is accessed via a large landing on a mezzanine level, which leads to two generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an additional room. A small attic completes the upper floor. Some interior updating is needed. A large workshop and an adjoining glass-enclosed room offer potential for a variety of activities, close to the living areas. A garage of over 50 sq m, a cellar, and small outbuildings complete the property. The exterior features a landscaped and enclosed garden, as well as an orchard/vegetable patch.

The property is located just 4 minutes from local amenities and the school; 15 minutes from the motorway; 30 minutes from Fontenay-le-Comte and the Niort TGV station; and 50 minutes from La Rochelle/Île de Ré.
