A Hidden Haven in the Heart of Mortagne-Sur-Gironde

Property Description

Tucked away in the heart of the charming village of Mortagne-sur-Gironde, just a short stroll from the local shops and cafés, this delightful home is full of surprises. From the street, you would never imagine the peaceful oasis that lies beyond. Behind its gates, a beautiful mature garden, characterful outbuildings and a wonderfully private setting create a home that feels both welcoming and full of possibilities.

Inside, the house has been lovingly renovated, combining the character of an old French farmhouse with the comfort of modern living. At its heart is a bright, open-plan living space where the fitted kitchen flows naturally into the dining and sitting areas. Filled with natural light and opening onto the garden, it's a space designed for relaxed family life, cosy evenings and long lunches with friends.

The ground floor also offers a comfortable bedroom with its own shower room, making everyday living easy and providing an ideal space for guests or single-level living. Upstairs, two generous double bedrooms enjoy lovely views and offer plenty of storage, with one already fitted with wardrobes and the other offering the potential to create an en suite shower room if desired (subject to permissions). A spacious family shower room completes the first floor.

One of the home's most charming features is the beautifully converted former ‘chai’ or wine store, which has been transformed into a unique and inspiring space full of light. A spacious room with vaulted ceilings, large glazed doors and roof windows which is flooded with light. Currently used as a show room this space could be used as an artists studio, or even a fabulous loft style gite - subject to the usual permissions. From the ground floor up a delightful spiral staircase is a light-filled mezzanine, complete with a freestanding bath - the perfect spot to unwind.This versatile space can easily adapt to your lifestyle. A large cellar beneath the house provides excellent storage and practical workspace.

Outside, the garden is undoubtedly the heart of the property. Beautifully established and completely enclosed, it offers a wonderful sense of peace and privacy. It is easy to forget that you are in the heart of a thriving village! Mature trees provide welcome shade during the summer months, colourful flowerbeds and a productive vegetable garden add to its charm, while the large koi pond, gentle stream and covered henhouse give the garden a delightful country feel.

A covered terrace overlooks the garden and the large swimming pool offers a refreshing place to cool off on warm days. A large independent workshop and several additional outbuildings, all with electricity, provide endless opportunities for hobbies, creative projects or extra storage. The house has been carefully updated throughout by its current owners, including double glazing, mains drainage, fibre optic internet, a water softener and a Verisure alarm system, allowing you to enjoy all the conveniences of modern living without losing the warmth and character of the original home.

Properties offering such generous gardens and versatile outbuildings are rare in the centre of Mortagne-sur-Gironde. Whether you're looking for a welcoming family home, a place to work creatively from home, or a property with the potential to develop guest accommodation or a small business, this is a home that offers both flexibility and an exceptional quality of life just a short walk to the vibrant village and port of Mortagne and the fabulous nature reserve of the Gironde Estuary.
