Historic Hotel In A 4,600 M2 Park In The Center Of Thouars

For sale in the city of Thouars, a 19th-century hotel particulier set in a park of nearly half a hectare, protected from view by a low wall and its gate, built between the main square where the weekly market is held and the SNCF train station.
This charming 9-room house to refresh features the classic layout of bourgeois homes from the 19th century, with ceiling heights of 3.70 m.
The ground floor includes an entrance with a beautiful stone staircase leading to the upper floors and the basement, a 30 m2 living room with a fireplace, and a 28 m2 dining room with parquet flooring, where a French door at the back opens onto the park, an office, and the kitchen. On the upper floors, there are 6 lovely parquet-floored bedrooms, 3 shower rooms, and a large attic with an old mansard and laundry room.
But it is the exceptional expanse of the surrounding park of 4,600 m2 that is almost unreal in the city, populated with large trees, a vegetable garden made up of paths, borders, and fruit trees.
