Historic Manor House With Heated Pool And Guest House

EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! Steeped in history and elegance, this magnificent 18th-century manor house offers eight bedrooms and seven bathrooms, complemented by a charming two-bedroom, two-bathroom guest house, all set within more than an acre of private parkland in the heart of a lively French market town. Despite its peaceful setting behind ancient walls, the covered market, cafés and shops are just a short stroll away.

Occupying a mature walled plot of 4,807 m², the property features a spectacular heated swimming pool discreetly tucked within the old ramparts, creating an exceptional sense of privacy and tranquillity. Once home to one of Napoleon Bonaparte’s generals, the manor retains all the grandeur of its heritage, with impressive proportions, soaring ceilings, a magnificent original wooden staircase and around 500 m² of elegant living space.

The house is presented in excellent condition, having undergone an extensive and thoughtful renovation by the current owners. Improvements include a bespoke designer kitchen, an efficient wood pellet central heating system, and the creation of six beautifully appointed ensuite bedrooms.

The layout offers remarkable flexibility, with the property easily divided into two entirely independent wings, each benefiting from its own entrance, kitchen and living accommodation. This makes it perfectly suited to a large family home, luxury holiday rentals or a prestigious chambre d’hôtes business. In addition, the vast 200 m² attic still offers exciting potential for further development, including the possibility of creating additional bedrooms and ensuite bathrooms, subject to the necessary permissions.

Within the grounds, a delightful guest house set within a characterful stone tower provides two further ensuite bedrooms together with a spacious open-plan kitchen and living area. With its own private entrance and terrace, it offers excellent independent guest accommodation or further income potential.

A rare opportunity to acquire an historic residence combining character, versatility and exceptional location, this outstanding property truly must be seen to be fully appreciated.

Saint-Maixent-l’École TGV station is just 25 km away, Poitiers airport 57 km, and both La Rochelle and the beautiful Atlantic coast can be reached within approximately 92 km.
