Town Living In A Private Mansion With Walled Gardens

A delightful mansion in the heart of the medieval city of Loudun, accessed via a huge arched double gate, with easy access to Chinon, Samur, Richelieu and the Loire Valley.

Originally the residence of a ”Notaire Royale”, the property dates in part to an earlier building, with its principal wing added in 1754. This private mansion of approximately 276 m² comprises 12 elegant rooms, including 8 bedrooms and a ground-floor mini-suite with direct access to an intimate garden patio.

The property features a front walled garden sitting on a total plot of 903 m² including a patio of approximately 100 m², set in a secluded environment enclosed by high walls. Pedestrian and vehicle access is available through a large, imposing gate that guarantees complete privacy.

The house retains many original features, including high ceilings, fireplaces, cornicing, mouldings, original doors, and panelling. There is a stunning stone staircase linking the ground floor to a mezannine floor, and then onto the first floor bedrooms.

The large living areas are equipped with fireplaces, inserts, and radiators, while the kitchen is fitted with an electric oven and ceramic hob. Additional spaces include an office, a dressing room and a two-level food pantry accessed via a stone spiral staircase.

All windows are double-glazed (most with fly screens), with the downstairs windows sporting wooden shutters. The flooring consists mostly of beech and oak wood, with laminate flooring in most of the upstairs bedrooms.

The large outbuilding is ripe for renovation (with the necessary permissions) and currently houses the main services, including the heat pump, water, and electricity. Mostly used for storage, the outbuilding covers 2 floors and includes an integrated double garage, as well as access to a large vaulted cellar.

The house has a large attic, again with conversion potential (subject to permissions).

Parts of the main property date back to the 15th/16th centuries and as undergone various renovations over the years to offer modern comfort while retaining their historical character.

A real gem in the heart of Loudun.
