Wonderful 17th century property with outbuildings in Angliers

Charming property for sale between La Rochelle and the Marais Poitevin. The commune of Angliers lies to the north-east of La Rochelle and on the road linking La Rochelle to Niort-Poitiers. It is also part of the Marais Poitevin Regional Nature Park. This beautiful residence, typically Aunisian, was an ecclesiastical property until 1563. The current building only dates from the 19th century, built on the ruins of the castle burnt down during the Revolution. Its original character has been preserved despite a number of modifications made in the 17th and 18th centuries. A majestic gate dating from 1908 opens the doors. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall with a scullery and a succession of rooms, including a lounge with period parquet flooring, a spacious kitchen with a fireplace (the nameplate of which depicts the coat of arms of the shipowner HUET, formerly Seigneur du Riveau, de Granzay et de Ré, at the end of the 17th century), a comfortable dining room with a fireplace, an elegant and bright double lounge with a fireplace, a hallway and a large bedroom with a fireplace overlooking the front garden. A utility room and cellar complete the ground floor. The first floor features six bedrooms with generous volumes and high ceilings, two bathrooms with views over the parklands, a shower room, a study and a second stairway leading directly to the entrance hall. The property also includes approx. 285 m² of outbuildings such as a garage with attic, a wine storehouse with attic, a barn with attic, pigsties and a dovecote, offering numerous conversion possibilities. All the buildings are surrounded by vast wooded grounds, with a swimming pool facing the rear of the building. Behind it, the eye wanders off into the Marais de Saint Gilles, with its meadows and hedgerows and marshes. A gentle atmosphere conducive to relaxation. This property is the perfect place not only for large families or entertaining friends, but also for any B&B, business reception, ballroom or artist's studio projects... Just 20km from La Rochelle station and 20 minutes from the airport, this property offers extraordinary potential in a peaceful setting just a stone's throw from the local shops.
