Fully Renovated, Stylish Country House, Argenton-L'eglise, Deux-Sevres

Property Description

Situated at the edge of the Anjou wine appellation and convenient for Saumur and the celebrated chateaux of the Loire, this stylish country house has been fully renovated to create a comfortable family home. It has a top floor apartment for letting or guests.





Set well back from the road and approached through double iron gates, the private drive curves around the house before arrival into an enclosed walled garden overlooked by the elegant facade of the house with its symmetry and decorative stone work.





The accommodation is well-presented and elegant. It comprises, on the ground floor: entrance hall, sitting room with a beautiful stone fireplace and quality wood-burning stove, double aspect fitted dining kitchen and a guest cloakroom with WC.





On the first floor are 2 spacious bedrooms – one of them double aspect - and an immaculate family bathroom. The top floor has been transformed into a spacious apartment complete with light and airy bedroom area, modern shower room and corner kitchen. Ideal for use by visitors but equally suitable as a studio. 





An attached outbuilding complete with mezzanine, currently used as a utility area, overlooks the garden and could easily be converted to provide additional accommodation. Other outbuildings include a double height hangar and a workshop. A large wine cellar runs underneath the entire length of the hangar. 





The property is situated in the heart of a quiet village, only 9 kms from Thouars which has the full range of shops and services. The nearest airport is Poitiers, a drive of just under an hour.
